Observer Watch

You what?

It was ‘Guido’ [Fawkes -Ed) who propelled a series of Labour election posters
depicting Michael Howard as the Jewish stereotype Fagin into the
mainstream media, thereby transforming his site from an internet
backwater that received 60 hits a day into a prominent resource that
now receives around 150,000 hits a day.

150 k a day? A month maybe, but day?

Don’t these people have bleedin’ editors?

    150,000 unique visitors for the month of May. Probably more now.

  2. Tim quite right.
    Have had a Slashdot/Instapundit/BBC freak 170,000 hits in a single day once, but 150,00 to 200,000 a month is about right depending on events.
    20,000 a day last week…

  3. that’s a lot

  4. Notice how the media always wants to pin the popularity of a particular site on one event.
    The thing that makes a blog successful, is good content regularly updated, not a freak incident that brought the blog to the attention of said journalist.
    Notice also that in 2006, we still don’t know the difference between hits, page views and visitors.

  5. I generally find that my number of unique visitors is about 70% of my page views…
