RK Hits 2 Million Visits Mark

By the way, our monthly visits have been increasing fast year-over-year.  In January 2008, for instance, we had 93,569 visits, up 87% from the 50,029 visits in January 2007.  This month, it looks like we're on track for about 140,000 visits, which would represent nearly a tripling from the 52,318 visits in February 2007.  In part, of course, that's the result of an active political season, with presidential primaries -- including one that mattered here in Virginia -- leading to increased interest and readership.  

But  more than that, state-level blogs are growing in Virginia and across the country, as people increasingly turn to them for news they can't necessarily get elsewhere, such as in their local newspaper.  I see no reason why this trend won't continue in years to come. \

P.S. The monthly record for visits to RK was 127,247 in October 2006, just before the Webb-Allen election. It looks like we'll break that this month.
