Website aggregators Scoop have been running since mid January this year a local Wellington feed of Scoop.
I'll watch this with interest to see if it curtails some of the plans I have for a hyperlocal blog based around multimedia.
Their stats are impressive given the short time, but definitely the result of Scoops wider reach as a news feed.
Wellington.Scoop is now two months old. Our first day was January 14. Since then we’ve received more than 11,000 visits from more than 8,500 people who’ve viewed more than 22,000 pages.
Our most popular article so far has been our description of the rapid rise and fall of Wellington’s Apple store, which attracted more than 700 readers and more than a dozen comments including two from the owner of the store.
Next most popular: Why Wellington doesn’t need any more traffic lights, in which we name Wellington’s most indefensible traffic signals.
Third in popularity: Stop the sports centre, save Manners Mall! It was published when Andy Foster lodged his appeal against building the indoor sports centre near the airport.
Of our hundreds of news reports about Wellington (all archived by subject and date), the most-read was the announcement that Jetstar flights would be coming to Wellington Airport. Second most read was the announcement of the Monet exhibition at Te Papa.Third in readership numbers: this weekend’s police report of themurder in a Johnsonville service station.
We are tracking our top traffic sources. More than 54 per cent of visitors come from Google, 30 per cent from other Scoop pages, and 9 per cent come directly. A total of 177 visitors have been referrals from Facebook. And we also have a technical profile: 58 per cent of visits come via Internet Explorer, 28 per cent via Firefox, and 9 per cent via Safari.
