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

… We’d say a big thank you to the 50,627 ‘absolute unique visitors’* who read Liberal Democrat Voice in July.

That’s 5% up on our June figure of c.48,000, and up some 129% on the equivalent figure for July ’09 of c.22,000.

This brings our absolute unique visitor readership for the last year to date (1 Aug 2009 – 31 July 2010) to 608,812, some 84% higher than the equivalent figure for 2008-09 of 330,218.

The 5 top-read stories during the month were:

  1. Have you seen Zac Goldsmith’s Channel 4 News car-crash interview yet? (75) by Stephen Tall
  2. Opinion: I admit it, I am shocked by Labour’s hatred (311) by Nick Perry
  3. John Pugh MP asks for Lib Dem members’ feedback on health issues (160) by John Pugh MP
  4. Would the coalition dare to cut welfare back to Labour levels? (19) by Iain Roberts
  5. Official: 4,500 new Lib Dem members have joined party since election and coalition agreement (79) by Stephen Tall

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

    Could this have something to do with us Tories now feeling we should read this stuff? A bit like steaming open your partner’s mail.
