Election coverage boosts site traffic
Add comment November 9th, 2008
We always see an increase in page views on Election Day and the day after, mostly because people come to us for results information. We aggregate vote totals from several sources and put them online and in the newspaper.
Overall site traffic on Tuesday was just shy of 200,000. Election coverage generated approximately 41,500 page views on Election Day. Of that, 31,559 views were of our results page.
On Wednesday, we garnered 21,558 page views on election content. Nearly 16,000 was results.
