So, how many people do ads reach you may be asking? Website advertising images are displayed on all news pages of our website on a rotational program and currently, we are reaching from 20,000 (min) - 80,000 unique views and reaches per month. 2016 total views were over 800,000 views total. The unique visitors fluctuates though based on how much news is out there that we can put out. This gets busier during the fall and winter storms. When we say viewers, that is one-time unique visits from one person or computer. This would mean that those that had advertised with us on our page had their ad seen and displayed to up to 40,000 times per month or more 800,000 plus on return visits.
