One Reason Why Salisbury News Has Become So Successful

Every once in a while I'll pop on Site Meter like I did at 10:00 last night and take a look at how people arrived at Salisbury News. Almost 50% of the people who are shown above were referred to us by Google, Yahoo and other search engines.

Because we produce so many articles, (56 articles for one day alone yesterday) Salisbury News has become a major player on the Internet and while some can't believe the kind of numbers we reach each and every day, quite a bit of them now come from these search engines.

There aren't many local names you can type into Google where Salisbury News won't come up in the top ten, if not number one. I guess after 4 years of doing this it was bound to happen. So for those nay sayers who continue to be in denial, this image should keep you quiet for a while, especially when it comes at 10:00 at night.

For the tech people who understand what it means to reach so many people by a Google or Yahoo search, not too shabby, eh!

Microsoft is now coming out with it's own search engine. One more exit to the source.
