December Stats

[bobandbill]

A solid way to end the year. Not a single day below 5,000 views! \o/ Again, less than last December but that had SM article views while here USUM is always going to hold less interest, sales, etc.

December total views: 231,957 (November: 346,777, October: 56,680)
December total visitors: 152,631 (November: 215,790, October: 39,465)

Jump around/after Christmas would be a spike in views for USUM articles due to people only getting the game then.

Articles visited since start of month until 1st Jan:

(Note that articles posted in the month have the orange tab to the left. Those with < 50 hits in the month were cut for image size.)

Similar story to last month with USUM articles at the top, with the occasional exception (e.g. the Crystal article due to it being announced, and SM articles). The best December article was the Master Ball one, and we were late on that news! GO news was next due to gen 3 Pokemon and shinys discovered. Next was the 2018 movie teaser article, followed by the pros/cons of rom hacking/game dev article by Rainbow and Jake's article. The Ultra Ride guide article was released late in the month but probably was hampered due to lateness with views...

Excellent month again team, good work everyone!
