ChicagoNewsReport.com, an alternative news source, was created August 5, 2010.
According to Quantcast.com, a company that measures internet traffic, as of August 2012, CNR received an estimated 53,426 visitors a month and nearly 200,000 pageviews within that same timeframe.
However, Google Analytics clocked our monthly traffic at 75,000 visitors and 386,618 pageviews per month.
In addition to monitoring our traffic, internal software tracks the businesses that access our blog on a daily basis; and you may be surprised at who is reading CNR.
For example: I bet you didn't know that we have readers at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, RCN, American Bar Association, Tribune Company, and Price Waterhouse... just to name a few!
Not bad for a two-year-old!
Happy Birthday! Seems like its been longer than that!
ReplyDeleteIt feels like 5!
ReplyDeleteCongratalations! You run an excellent blog that reports what the 5pm news is afraid to. Although it scares me to read about all the monkey bidness going on throughout the city.

Happy Birthday CNR! You provide a great service to many of us trying to survive and stay safe in Chicago. Hope many more years to come!
ReplyDeleteCongrats; while I sometimes roll my eyes at the bias on here, you provide a valuable service.
ReplyDeleteA belated Happy B-Day CNR!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reporting the stories the other news outlets are too fucking scared to print. Screw the politically correct bullshit that permeates the media nowadays.
Nothing like the brutal, honest truth to make people take off their rose-colored glasses and finally see the shit that honest citizens have to deal with in Chicago.
Keep up the damn fine work and here’s to your continued success.
