Every time I read statements like this from the Sierra Foothill Report, I have to ask compared to what?
The Internet is changing the media landscape. This blog broke last month’s record for traffic four days ago and continues to grow every month. We are in unchartered territory.
I have to agree that the Internet is changing the media landscape, and I congratulate Jeff Pelline on his growth. For the last month SFR traffic is up 400%, and for three months SFR traffic is up 100%, according to Alexa, the Web Information Company. It appears that both of our blog sites are growing and gaining more readership. NCMW traffic is down 3% for the last month, but up 710% for the three month period. It is hard to sustain such rapid growth.
We are both members of Sac Connect and have gained traffic from that association, according to Alexa. NCMW Sacramento ranking is 4,589 and SFR is 6,632. The Lower the number the higher the rank. NCMW is ranked 28,651 in the US and SFR is ranked 234,721. Again,the highest rank would be #1.
The growth in the Number of Blogs in Nevada County, each with a growing audience, is certainly changing the media landscape. Stay Tuned!
