Site Numbers and "Thank You" Norman Chad

The site numbers are in for Aug 16 to Sept 16. We're down a smidge on visits at 419 (down from 428 last month), but up in city visits (up from 99 to 115) and in countries (22 to 24) - both of those (we believe are new records for us). Same standard top four - Circle Pines moves into 5th place and Fargo, ND readership moves from 8th to 6th (and looks like it'll be 5th for the next reporting time frame). Here's the site map many of you love:
Speaking of records - CPLPoker wants to say "Thank you" to ESPN's WSOP commentator Norman Chad. In June we congratulated Norman on his first ever WSOP cash - a Stud8 event (#53) and opined that we hoped we'd hear some reporting on it.

Well, on Tuesday's Main Event episodes on ESPN they went hog wild in mentioning it (mostly cryptically). Obtusely enough that dozens of people are going to the internet to find out about it - and landing on our pages. Since Tuesday, at least 50 search referrals have come in with variations of "Norman Chad cashing WSOP". On Tuesday, we reached a new record of unique visitors (not visits) with 22 - that was surpassed on Wednesday with 26 unique visitors. We didn't break the daily visits record and the interest (while still there today) seems to be fading - but, we wanted to add a "Thank you, Norman" - in addition to "Congratualations."
