For the first time, the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies' story-sharing site, AltWeeklies.com, has exceeded 100,000 unique visitors in a month. The rapid growth in traffic could have a positive impact on every paper that posts stories to AltWeeklies.
A year ago, AltWeeklies.com was a fledgling Web site with just a hundred stories, intent on escaping the notice of many visitors besides the AAN editors who would buy and sell stories there. Now it is an active news site with more than 4,400 stories and a readership that is rapidly growing.
