Christmas came a month early here at Wine Review Online. We’ve just finished our best month ever, recording 1,457,002 hits from 77,768 visitors. That’s a growth spurt of 40 percent over the previous month, which also was a record.
We take this as a sign we must be doing something right. It also reaffirms our core philosophy that top-notch writing talent and a treasure trove of expertise will attract readers. As you can see from the accompanying charts (hits above, visitors below), traffic has grown steadily over the past six months.
Our goal was never to be the wine site with the most bells and whistles. What we try to do every week is entertain and enlighten, employing many of the most knowledgeable and respected wine journalists in the business.
We’ve noticed readers beating a path to the reviews page each week, making it WRO’s most popular page. That tells us you, the reader, are seeking sound buying advice and understand our reviewers have a vast amount of tasting experience, and with that comes tremendous credibility.
We appreciate your continued support and your loyalty. We know the WRO link has been forwarded many times since we posted our first issue 16 months ago. It’s obvious from the numbers.
For all of us here at Wine Review Online, I would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU!
