Those who have followed the blog of late will know that I put quite a lot of effort into improving its accessibility and structure in March, during which period several new features were added. The result was all-time record traffic in March of 533,000 page views in the month.
I did, of course, wonder if that was a freak occurrence not to be repeated. So, this is the chart covering the whole of April:
Remember that April is, of course, a day shorter than March, albeit traffic did not also begin to pick up rapidly until a few days into the earlier month. But even so, April was the second-best ever month in the history of the blog and only the third ever to have traffic of more than half a million page views.
Thank you is all I can say to that.
I have no idea if traffic will continue at this level, but 15,271 reads yesterday was exceptional for a Sunday, and most especially a bank holiday Sunday. Thanks for your interest.
Thanks for reading this post.

Well deserved record levels of traffic, and many thanks to you for continuing to put so much effort and thought into your blog, Richard. After 13 years I remain a regular reader and still benefit a great deal from doing so. Indeed, your recent series on the contrast between what we might call 21st century (or reality based) and 19th/early 20th century based MMT was highly instructive. All credit to you for having the patience to spend so much time debating what in many cases is obvious – at least to me and many others who follow this blog. Have a good bank holiday.
Off out down the river looking for grebes, warblers and more now
Thank you!
Thank you for all your hard work, enjoy the weekend, have a break, all the best,
Thank you for the blog. I really look forward to a webinar/podcast – monthly perhaps? Please do more for the Echo Chamber pod in Ireland – they are so good!
A very big thanks for openly, and at often first instance, highlighting the economic disaster from Brexit – Please keep doing that, and perhaps slip rejoin into the conversation as well! (I think we are only a few years away that some politicians may not be scared to talk about rejoin more – we need outside voices to start that seed of conversation.) Talking about how it is stunting the UK economy each and every time, is especially important on the BBC.
Thank you, and don’t hold back!!
Thanks
