LDV doesn’t do statporn, but if we did (August ’10)

By | Fri 3rd September 2010 - 3:45 pm

… We’d say a big thank you to the 47,689 ‘absolute unique visitors’* who read Liberal Democrat Voice in August.

Though that’s a touch down on our July figure of c.50,000, it’s up some 143% on the equivalent figure for August ’09 of c.20,000.

This brings our absolute unique visitor readership for the last year to date (1 Sept 2009 – 31 August 2010) to 636,846, some 89% higher than the equivalent figure for 2008-09 of 336,902.

The 5 top-read stories during the month were:

  1. Knowsley Council pays Labour over £250,000 for conference appearances (11) by Mark Pack
  2. Coalition puts up strong defence on IFS report (84) by Iain Roberts
  3. Tim Farron MP writes … Labour’s staggering hypocrisy on the Alternative Vote (66) by Tim Farron MP
  4. Opinion: why we should wish Labour well (102) by George Kendall
  5. Those Kennedy defection rumours (38) by Iain Roberts

And the top 5 traffic sources for Lib Dem Voice in July were:
