Summary
Below is an analysis of traffic to the ECOA blog, Facebook page, and Instagram feed as well as the No Highways Tour Facebook page. This year was amazing in terms of growth. Traffic to the blog is up 200% compared to 2015 in terms of monthly average views. The growth in number of followers on social media is also pretty impressive; especially considering I don’t do any sort of paid promotion of the pages or posts. I can only imagine what 2017 will bring!
