Now that Siteline’s third full year is done, it’s time for a checkup. In 2022, the website had a monthly average of 115,000 page views from 29,000 users—nearly double the 2021 numbers. And the growth is still happening: in December 2022, the site received 155,000 monthly page views.
The email newsletter, meanwhile, doubled its subscriber base (4,300 this year). And there are now 8,700 followers on Instagram (up from 5,300).
Thank you for reading! And a huge thank you to everyone who advertises on Siteline. This would not be possible without you.
