We just hit a new record…

Visitors to the Demolition News website just hit a record high…

When we first unveiled Demolition News approximately one year ago, we regularly monitored our traffic statistics on Google Analytics; and it often made for pretty depressing reading. Indeed, in our first month in operation, there were six days in which no-one at all visited the site.

How things have changed.

Thanks in part to an influx of new subscribers from the US, possibly attracted by our “why don’t Americans GET high reach demolition” story (our most widely read and commented on this month), the number of visits yesterday hit an all time daily high and have contributed to making August our most successful month to date.

But while we’re delighted to have established a readership “across the pond”, one of the most telling statistics is that more than 10% of all our readers have returned to the site more than 200 times.

Equally pleasing is that the second most visited area of the website, attracting just over a third of ALL visitors,, is our new Business Directory. This has been achieved with just 13 listings, the majority from long-time Demolition News supporters. Just imagine what that could look like if this became a definitive listing of all demolition-related products and services!

So we would just like to take this opportunity to thank all our subscribers, new and regular readers, and of course our sponsors, without whom we simply wouldn’t be here.

John, you have no idea, and apparently, I owe it all to American fertilizer! Ever since Construction Equipment picked up my high reach story, the stats have gone up and up. And yesterday (Tuesday) was about twice as high as our previous best (and about three times the Tuesday average). Now all I have to do is to keep writing regular controversial articles to wind up our new-found readership across the pond!

If it’s American input you need, just litter your next post with the word Obama, Al Queda and bomb plot. You’ll have 10,000 CIA men looking at the site in sconds
