iePolitics: A little about Examiner
I am frequently asked about Examiner. Many people have not heard of it. Here are the stats from last year:
Hi Sharon,
Thank you for contributing to Examiner.com in December! We hope that 2013 brings you great success.
This past year was historic in many ways for Examiner.com. We received more than 187 million web and mobile page views to our site in December. To put that growth in perspective, the site experienced just around 60 million web and mobile page views in December 2011. That’s over a 300% increase in just one year!
Active subscriber numbers continued to grow as well. By the end of the year almost 600,000 readers were subscribed to various Examiner.com assignments. Those readers were also consuming more articles each time they came to the site.
Quantcast.com currently ranks Examiner.com as the 38th most visited US website and the 7th most visited mobile site.
Thanks again for your contributions.
Sincerely,
This is why I prefer to put information out thru Examiner than straight to the blog. It is also why I get so frustrated with you guys when you won’t give me what I need so I can do so or when you don’t support the Examiner stories. Think about how many SBSD scandals would have made great Examiner reading. There is a huge readership waiting to read all about it but I need your help to make that happen.

Could you please elaborate on this line in your recent post, please. I do not know what your needs are.
“…when you won’t give me what I need so I can do so or when you don’t support the Examiner stories. ”
thanks.
I click on the Examiner links. I like their format too. Not sure what else I can do except click the links… do they have a “like” button? Or maybe subscribe to your Examiner articles? Help us help you.
The biggest “need” is for people to click on the articles. “Liking” and/or commenting with Facebook is even better (as long as you do it while you are on the Examiner site) and re-tweeting is great too.
That is one part of the problem. The other part is that there are so many stories that don’t get written simply because people who want the stories written can’t get me everything I need in a timely manner. That gets frustrating!
