In June I was excited about the then new Recent Contributors box on AboutUs.org. Now it’s the new Page Views feature that has me jumping up and down.
The premise is pretty simple. Pages on AboutUs now show the number of times that particular page has been viewed since the page was created. (You can check this by viewing the page’s history, and it will be sometime between AboutUs’ launch in June 2006 and today’s date.)
Look for the Page Views count in the box to the right of just about every page on AboutUs.org. Currently the number is updated on a semi-regular basis and will hopefully be live soon.
Whether a particular page has been viewed more than you expected or less than you would hope, editing the page to make it prettier and have better content is a great way to attract more viewers and to get them to stay awhile.

It’s also neat to look at the pageviews for the spotlighted articles and see how articles written 4-5 months ago generally now have thousands of page views!
It looks like the page view numbers are now updated live!
