New site numbers in - or, back to the future

Okay, we've actually had the month 3 numbers for a little while now. And, yeah, they aren't "up movers" (generally), but we hide nothing here at CPLPoker. Our numbers, not coincidentally, started dropping around Thanksgiving and have largely been down since. These holiday blues for us, we believe, are the results of two things: 1) people being busier and visting less often and 2) your CPL Co-Directors being busier and not posting as much (all of November had 11 posts vs 16 in October - and there were only 2 posts from December 1 to December 27). All that is changing as the Holidays are behind us and were redoubling efforts for 2009 (though we're pretty sure the month 4 numbers will also be down as the recovery is just now beginning).

So, on with the show:

We're having some issue with uploading the map so, none this month. It shows (or would have) 263 visits from Nov. 16 to Dec. 15 from 57 cities and 13 countries. These are all off the pace of the previous month.

The highlight for this month has to be the traffic sources. Last month readers in Sydney Australia put that city #6 on our visitor list. This month we have a non-US city breaking into the top 5. As may forever be the case, Minneapolis and St. Paul led the way again. Our number 3 and 4 spots flip-flopped again with Hennepin County again coming in ahead of Circle Pines. Osseo, MN pushes it's way into a tie for spot #5 with....wait for it.....Givatayim, Israel (yeah, I had to look it up, too).

Another report in a couple of weeks - and, more quality posts in the meantime. So, keep on reading.
