County News Online
CNO racks up
second million page views
The banner at the top of this page says it all: Thank you Darke
County!!!
In the interest of accuracy, we also need to say thank you to readers
from the Miami Valley to Columbus. While the majority of our readership
is in Darke County, a significant number of readers follow us from the
Miami Valley, schools and colleges, and government agencies.
Thank you all!
Sometime Sunday afternoon, readership passed the two million mark. The
day finished with 2,003,089 page views. This milestone was passed just
short of CNO’s second anniversary on January 15. CNO has been averaging
about 35 to 40,000 unique visitors a month.
On Monday, Editor Bob Robinson posted his commentary about the “why’s”
of CNO’s success. While there are typically one or two news articles,
plus opinions and blogs about the state of the nation and society
today, the core of County News Online content is about community events
and accomplishments.
As a volunteer information source, very few of the articles are
generated as “assignments.” While CNO publishes many columns from local
residents about things of importance in their lives or in the
community, most are submissions from the different agencies and
volunteer organizations that serve us. The content is free and easy to
find on a daily basis.
County News Online is about the great things about Darke County, Ohio.
Its volunteers, its community service organizations and its people…
especially its youth.
This has been CNO’s focus and it has been embraced by local readership.
Thank you again! And thank you to the sponsors who make CNO possible,
plus provide the thousands of dollars in student scholarships that are
offered each year.
