Dkos Traffic Breaking Records

Mon Mar 17, 2008 at 07:41:21 AM PDT

Since I wrote a diary at the end of 2007 commenting on how Dkos traffic was trending down in the last 4 months of that year I figured I should write a follow up.  One of the popular theories back then was that all the candidate diaries were driving people away.  Apparently, that wasn't the problem as the atmosphere on the site was pretty chipper.  Imagine floating the idea of a "writer's strike" back then?  Crazy talk.  That was then, this now.  For the record, I was way wrong on my thoughts on where traffic was headed, but back then Hillary was also the front runner.  Numbers after the break.

In December when I wrote that diary there were 14 million visits to Dkos.   The high month for 2007 was August with 16 million visits.   So where are we now?

The short month of February 2008?   29 million visits. Which crushes the 22 million in January 2008.  

In March 2007 there were 15 million visits.   As of today, March 17th, there are already 17 million visits for the month.  Looks like another record in the making.

These are some staggering numbers.  I'd have to say Dkos is alive and well and that it would appear there is more upside to the Big Orange.
