Thank you for another record-setting month

The Writers of Wrongs site set surprising new records in the month of October, and there are still some hours left before the month is complete. 

For the first time since our small crime history site was launched three years ago, its unique pageviews daily average figure climbed to more than one thousand per day, according to site hosting service Blogger.com. The daily average during October 2019 is just over 1,140 and still growing. This is an improvement of more than 32 percent over the old record. The previous high for average daily pageviews was 862, generated during the month of July, 2019.

The total unique pageviews for October stands at this moment at 35,378, according to Blogger, and is likely to cross 36,000 by end of month. [Nov. 1, 2019, Update: The final figure for October was 37,334, making the daily average 1,204.] The monthly figure had never before exceeded 26,729 - that record was set during this past summer.

So far this year, The Writers of Wrongs has added forty-two articles to bring the total available on the site to 229. The most-read articles in the month of October 2019 were:

1. "Anastasia delayed, did not escape death in 'chair,'" by Thomas Hunt.
2. "The assassination of Sam Giannola," by Daniel Waugh.
3. "Wealthy Los Angeles-area Mafia leader vanishes," by Thomas Hunt.
4. "3 things you probably didn't know about Lucky Luciano," by Christian Cipollini. (This is the site's all-time most-viewed article.)
5. "Michigan mobster Joe Tocco succumbs," by Thomas Hunt.

Over the course of the past three years, the site's pages have been visited more than half a million times. At this moment, the total figure stands at 571,436.

While more than half of the pageviews (56 percent) have been generated within the United States, the site has also been supported by other countries around the world. The top visiting countries have been Russia (22,000 pageviews), Israel (20,000), Ukraine (17,000), United Kingdom (11,000), Germany (11,000), China (9,000), United Arab Emirates (9,000), France (6,000), Poland (4,000), Canada (4,000), Brazil (3,000).

Thank you, readers, for supporting this project and for expressing through visits your interest in and approval of the work we do here.
