neonvincentAs I promised yesterday, I'm posting the top posts at Crazy Eddie's Motie News for December 2017. Once again, I'm using my Dreamwidth journal as the attic for my other blog. I'll be doing that more this month, as I got my laptop repaired and will be posting my saved comments from January to June 2015 as well as my Examiner.com articles from the same period.
Now, the top posts and other stats.
The overall goal for December 2017 was 36,146 page views and the daily page view goal for the month was 1166 per day to beat last December's 36,117. The overall goal was achieved on the 6th. The blog went on to earn 47,630 page views and garner 17 comments on 31 posts over 31 days. That translates to 1527.74 page views per day and per post and 0.55 comments per day and per post.
