Julie,
I realized that it no longer searches B&P and was going to fix it but just forgot about it.
I’ve just added a Search B&P box below the Google Search.

Jonco – One teensy request: Can you move the B&P search box away from the top banner ad? It does look OK when you go into “Previously on B&P”. I tried searching for the “letter from new marine” yesterday – you’re automajically taken to a google search page but there are no B&P results — only web results. (And yes, I did have search B&P checked – but the search engine didn’t want to look at B&P).

LOL @ Revrick. Good idea on hiding the First Lady pic.

I think you should just request some stimulus money based on declining revenues. Plus, you can indicate you’re fair and balanced because the lefty-loosey’s and righty-tighty’s meet here all the time to share polite political discussions…Ummm…but you might want to hide the Michelle Halloween photo before requesting the $$’s.

So what sort of revenue range does a million hits generate? What range can newbies dream of attaining?

This isn’t my expertise, but I’ve used Analytics a lot. I’m surprised that your % of new visitors isn’t lower. I come back frequently and I would think others who visit would too. Google ads don’t pay very well unless they are well targeted. Since your content is pretty varied you aren’t likely to get much of a rate. My advice is to go with volume and insert a few more ads. I think you could handle a couple more skyscrapers on the side without annoying your readers much. Please don’t get any of those dancing fools.

I looked you up in Quantcast.com and was surprised that you skewed so young and male since your commenters seem to be a bunch of old farts like me, but your traffic is growing very nicely, which might explain the new visitor number.
