This is the first report in six months – sorry for the delay. The next report will come out in three months.<\/p>\n
Some highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n * Our mailing are growing smaller; this happens when we use them a lot, and MailChimp deletes subscribers whose email addresses are no longer valid. The only way to get around this is to recruit new people to our lists, which we are doing, but not fast enough. The only list to show significant growth was Ukrainian, which nearly doubled in size.<\/p>\n * We’ve had slow growth on Facebook, except for our Turkish and UK pages, which have grown spectacularly, as well as our LabourStart TV Facebook page.<\/p>\n * On Twitter, we’ve seen good growth for main English global feed, and massive growth thanks to the efforts of Derek and Roy, to the USA feed, which has nearly tripled in size.<\/p>\n * Traffic to the websites is growing. We had about 56,000 unique visitors to the news site, and the same to the campaigns site, in the last six months. The main sources of traffic continue to be the USA, Canada, and the UK.<\/p>\n In the list below, the first number is the current total, the second one is our previous total.<\/p>\n Mailing lists<\/strong><\/p>\n English: 84,753 – 86,489 Facebook:<\/strong><\/p>\n Like LabourStart.org page (English): 12,379 – 12,208<\/span> Twitter<\/strong><\/p>\n English: 18,488 – 17,678<\/span><\/strong> Website traffic (1 June – 30 November 2017)<\/strong><\/p>\n LabourStart.org (news)<\/strong><\/p>\n Unique users 55,884 – 35,345<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Top countries (by sessions):<\/p>\n USA 21% – 22% Most popular pages \u2013 page views:<\/p>\n Home page \u2013 English 48,545 – 26,088<\/span><\/strong> LabourStartCampaigns.net (campaigns)<\/strong><\/p>\n Unique users 56,231 – 33,249<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Top countries (by sessions):<\/p>\n UK 14% \u2013 14% Most popular pages \u2013 page views:<\/p>\n The number in brackets is the total number of those who have signed up to support the campaign.<\/p>\n Indonesia: 4,220 striking miners fired – 23,380 [14,714] Linked In<\/strong><\/p>\n LabourStart group: 2,042 – 2,051<\/p>\n Flickr<\/strong><\/p>\n Union group on Flickr: 829 – 827<\/span><\/p>\n Website<\/strong><\/p>\n Correspondents: 873 – 864<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is the first report in six months – sorry for the delay.
