Top stories in July 2014 - Facebook, email, and web

Saturday, August 2, 2014

Who is reading what?

Since we began the Shoreline Area News in 2009, the metrics for tracking and analyzing stories have upgraded across all platforms. We used to publish the top 5 stories each month, which were the stories with the largest number of web hits. We had to stop when we were invaded by a couple of sites which artificially inflated the numbers and made them unreliable.

With the new metrics, it has become clear that our different editions have different reader groups with different interests. Combining those numbers would not give an accurate picture nor would it give you information about stories you missed that you would be interested in.

So, these are the separate numbers for our Facebook friends, our email subscribers, and those who find us on the web - most often through links from our news partners The Seattle Times and King 5.com. Web users include the small but growing number of Twitter only readers (@ShorelineArea), as well as those who just Google for us.

Stories are listed in order of popularity.

Here are the top five stories for March 2012, as measured by the number of times the story was clicked on. It does not include stories read by email edition, RSS feeds, Facebook, and other more arcane means such as blog followers. Sometimes the ranking simply reflects stories that were highlighted by The Seattle Times or King 5. Accurate or not, it's still interesting to see which headlines are getting the attention.
