CCO Starts 4th Year with a BANG! Passes Courier Press in Key Metric

7


Will it last or was it just a Very Good Month?

Alexa.com reports the average time on Site by each visitor and updates it daily. Trafficestimate.com does a measurement of visits per month. The product of these two numbers results in a measurement of total time online.

Today the City County Observer for the first time has passed the Evansville Courier and Press in this key product. The values of the product as reported today on both 3rd Party measurement sites are as follows:

City County Observer: 3,907,750 viewing minutes per month

Courierpress.com: 3,869,208 viewing minutes per month

The Courier and Press has an estimated number of views per month that is 10.85 times what the City County Observer has according to TrafficEstimate.com. That readership volume is compensated for according to Alexa.com where the City County Observer enjoys a 10.96 times advantage in the category of minutes per visitor.

When combined the City County Observer edges out the Courier and Press right now for being the most read online publication in the Tri-State when minutes of readership are the metric.

Joe Wallace, acting editor and business consultant to the CCO attributes the rapid rise to the series of perfect storms of news coming from the Civic Center regarding issues like the Executive Inn Dilemma and the multiple deadline extensions granted to the developer of the McCurdy Hotel. “If the City of Evansville had implemented an effective vetting process and practiced transparency with public projects over the last couple of years, there would be no way that a tiny publication like the CCO could have even come close to a paper with over a hundred year tradition and a giant budget”, said Wallace.

The City County Observer starts its 4th year in business appropriately on July 4, 2011. The publisher Ron H. Cosby wishes to thank all of the readers and Moles for their continued encouragement and support of the CCO’s mission to advocate for good public policy.

  2. I said it before and I will say it again. The Courier or one of the TV stations needs to buy this thing before they really get their heads handed to them. If the CCO ever starts hiring full timers then look out.

    • if they sell out it will become just more of the same, we’ve got plenty of that, which is why the CCO is doing so well. They aren’t afraid to stir the pot a bit and see what unsavory bits float to the top.

  3. Congratulations to Joe and Ron and wish them continued success. I remember the early days and all the problems, glad that they have been overcome.

  4. Keep up the great work! Things can’t help but get better, both for Evansville, and the good folks at CCO. …

  6. Give a big thanks for advertising on “News Talk 1280 WGBF-AM Radio”! Heard of the “paper” but didn’t know the website. I have enjoyed reading good informative local news. More indepth reporting on public affairs, good follow-up on pending stories, that’s newspaper reporting at its best! City-County Observer is now on my “favorites bar’. I will pass on this site to family and friends.
