LOOK, it’s not often we blow our own trumpet, but the past few days have been absolutely phenomenal for website traffic on TraleeToday.ie.

It seems you really like our Rose of Tralee coverage, so much so that we’ve had the busiest few days EVER on the TraleeToday.ie website.

Visitors to the site generated a record-breaking 71,345 pageviews on Sunday, the most since we started the website in April 2014.

But Monday saw that record broken with over 75,000 pageviews generated by over 11,000 users…in one day!

This is fantastic news for our lucky advertisers who are experiencing the benefit of having their brands displayed to thousands of users, multiple times daily on TraleeToday.ie for an incredible rate. In fact, the last 31 days has seen pageviews exceed 1,000,000 yet again with over 100,000 users visiting (source: Google Analytics).

With ‘First Day At School’ imminent, our coverage of the All-Ireland coming up this weekend and Listowel Ladies Day not far off thousands more people will be clicking on over the next few weeks. Just give us a call on 087-9384810 or email dcrean@traleetoday.ie for details on advertising.

The past three months have seen average monthly pageviews rise to over 900,000 generated by around 80,000 users a month, up around 15% on last year!

AND we didn’t even get a card or a cake!

TraleeToday.ie passed another milestone at the weekend when we entered our third year of supplying news, sport and fun stuff to the people of the town and far beyond.

We started on April 23, 2014, and since then the website has received 12,374,036 page views from over 1,014,279 users (source Google Analytics, verified figures from April 24, 2014 to April 26, 2016).

In that time we’ve brought you coverage of Kerry winning and losing All-Ireland finals, the Rockies march to Munster glory,  the tension of the local and general elections, coverage of glamorous social events, hard news stories and much more in between.

You keep coming back to us as our figures show an average of over 740,000 page views from over 80,000 users per month, for the first four months of 2016.

All this is great news for our advertisers who are absolutely guaranteed to have their brand seen by their target market, at very affordable prices, thanks to our ‘Insert Ad’ strategy of manually placing ads within stories. We’re also nearing the 14,000 likes mark for our Facebook page and almost 2,900 twitter followers.

Thanks to you, the readers, for all your support our columnists and contributors and especially our advertisers, without whom TraleeToday.ie would not exist. If you wish to hear more about our advertising rates please contact Dermot Crean on 087-9384810.
