On to our Sept to Oct site numbers - it's record time. In fact, records abound. Norman Chad gets the two points for the goal, but Two Plus Two poker forums gets the assist.
We did a story on Norman Chad cashing in this year's WSOP (one of the Stud8 tourneys). On ESPN's Main Event coverage on Sept. 22 it was mentioned several times, but with few details. That sent people searching the web for more info and to us and gave us (at the time) records for unique visitors. Then a Two Plus Two poker forum post by someone named abracadabrab on Oct. 14 linking to our story really drove them in. Ultimately, we broke a daily unique visitors record with 62 and a daily visits with 69. Overall, we saw our best month ever with 503 visits from 202 cities (both new records) from 24 countries (a high tie). ESPN coverage appears to be responsible for about 70 visits with Two Plus Two bringing in about 85 more. Here's the map:
Finally, this month saw a first - Minneapolis dropped from it's #1 visit location (a spot it's held since we really kept blog stats - Sept. 08). St. Paul is the new king, followed by Minneapolis and Hennepin County. Circle Pines, Minnesota comes in 4th with S. St. Paul (MN) and Fargo, North Dakota tied for 5th. For our international destinations: Sydney, Australia was in 9th, and London (UK) was tied for 11th.
