Colorado Pols: 1 Million Visitors in 2010

  • 26 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Thanks to all of you out there on the Internet tubes, Colorado Pols continues to grow faster than Ken Buck can backtrack a policy position.  

Last August we reached a milestone by surpassing 1 million monthly page views, and now we’ve reached a new benchmark: 1 million visitors.

In 2010, Colorado Pols counted 1,012,762 unique visitors. That’s right — we had more than a million unique visitors last year alone.

Thank you again to all of you who have made Colorado Pols the most widely read and discussed political website in Colorado. We’re also a great place to advertise, so email us at ads@coloradopols.com today!

  1. Good diaries + intelligent commentary and debate + semi-wide topic range

    AND

    Stupid pissing contests that devolve into name-calling, cursing and threats of violence.  

    Fair and Balanced.  

        1. We’re not counting anything differently than any other software counts. As Google explains:

          “Unique Visitors represents the number of unduplicated (counted only once) visitors to your website over the course of a specified time period. A Unique Visitor is determined using cookies.”

          There’s no perfect way to track website users, but Unique Visitors is a common standard. It probably over-counts people who read on different devices, but it also under-counts multiple readers on the same device (like at a library, or a family who uses the same computer at home).

          1. It will be a unique person for each machine. On a given machine, if it has unique logins, it will be a unique person for each login that hits us here.

            So if your spouse uses your computer to hit Pols, and does so under your login, then that’s 1 person. But if you log out and they log in under a different username (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc), then it’s a different user.

            Definitely a different person for each device. Definitely 1 person across all users on a cell phone, iPad, etc.

            And if cookies are wiped, then the next time you hit it that’s a new user.

            I would estimate that 90+% of the unique visitors are truly unique. The other 10% are those of us that don’t have a life 🙂

              1. so spammers, unwanted bots, malicious IPs, et al should be counted or otherwise I’m diminishing the achievement?

                Ralph, no disrespect, but w/ your IT past & especially db admin you know how important it is to weed out irrelevant & gnomish data.  So toughski-shitski if I ask questions.

                I’d like 2 kno the bounce rate —

                I’d like 2 kno pageviews per vists —

                yeah, I like analytics so maybe I do have a fucking problem — a fucking problem w/ too many baseless factually-errant statements made by a lot of media sites.

                heritx, Nutch, Arale, Arachnid, WebSPHINX, WebLech, Grunk, CAPEK, Metis, Web Harvest, Aperture, LARM … all crawlers hitting some sites 1+ times a day (no way 2 kno  how many xist) so whadya do to filter ’em out?

                not spamming but I came across CloudFlare for analytics … its worth a look ColPols.  

      1. You mean, I better start commenting more or I’ll eventually become an illiterate sock?!

        Must my comments be cogent, or does it count if I just throw something out to show I’m paying attention?  Or that somebody has pissed me off?
