NorthEscambia.com Surpasses 250,000 Pages Served

December 7, 2007

Thursday night, NorthEscambia.com surpassed a quarter million page views after being online for just over a month.

A page view is simply one person viewing one page on the site. That does not mean that a quarter million people have viewed the site…one person will usually view more than one page per visit. The photo gallery pages are not included in the 250,000 page view total.

The site has been averaging 10,000 to 15,000 page views per day the last few weeks, according to site statistics.

Again, we don’t know who you are personally.
