Robert Rankin’s new book Necrophenia has just pointed out to me that the average human life has less than a thousand months in it. So I hope you did something worthwhile with April.
Between Easter and Anzac Day, and a notable lack of underworld killings, it was a predictably slower month for us than March. So having tempered expectations, here’s our monthly review of where the site’s going and what people are coming here for.
Key Stats:
Visits: 150,443, down from 155,728
Pageviews: 404,025 down from 453,505
Absolute unique visitors: 61,641, down from 61,780
Considering the unavoidable factors inherent to April and the more prosaic nature of the month’s news I’m stoked to see the unique visitors have stayed over 60k.
(Note: These statistics are prepared by Google Analytics and compare the 30 days of April to the previous 30 days)
Housekeeping:
While I’ve got you here a few house-keeping announcements.
If you’re one of the tens of thousands of Canberrans enjoying reading RiotACT perhaps you should consider supporting us? You can just make a donation if you so choose.
Alternatively you could take out a premium subscription, and get the much sought after RiotACT pin, as well as some improved functionality from the site.
If you have goods or services to advertise, or a brand to build, you can advertise with us.
Failing that Facebookers can just become a fan. We like fans.
