From time to time, I check the statistics on the three counters I have set up to tally visitors to The Turner Report. It was just a little over a year ago that I was happy to have 35 readers a day. Now the number has recently climbed above 700 on two of the services, normally reaching between 550 and 600 per day. On the other one, the average has been at about 430. Whatever it is, it has grown to considerable more than 35 and page views are averaging about 1,100 per day, which means people are either going through the archives or leaving comments.
A reader recently commented that most of my visitors come from the Joplin-area television stations. Statistics show that the number one source of visitors to the Turner Report is KSNF, by a wide margin, with the Joplin Globe finishing second, KODE fifth and KOAM 11th.
In addition to those media outlets, The Turner Report receives multiple visits per day from the Springfield News-Leader, Carthage Press, Neosho Daily News,and Asay Publishing, and occasional visits from the Chicago Tribune, Kansas City Star, Arkansas Democrat, Jefferson City News-Tribune, and of course, a number from Jefferson City state government circles.
Many readers, of course, reach The Turner Report when looking for something on search engines.

I accidently deleted your link on my chat board and I got about 10 e-mails and several posts asking "what happened to the Turner Reoprt?!" Keep up the good work Randy.
That's a pretty blue backround she has
The great thing about Malorie is that she is as beautiful in the inside as she is on the outside...that can't be said for a lot of newspeople.
Wow, that's the first good thing I've ever heard about Mallory Maddox. I've heard some stories about her violent temper.
That is a nice blue background.
Can't say I've ever kissed her, but I have heard she likes to strike fellow females if she doesn't agree with them.
Speaking of Sarah Pierik, where is she going? Her job is posted on the KOAM website.
I can't say enough about that blue background.
SARAH PIERIK: Sarah, Joplin is losing an incredible anchor. It's been a pleasure watching you professionally keeping us informed. You will be missed by thousands, but we knew you'd be moving up the ladder QUICKLY. God bless you in your journey. Wichita will be proud of you I'm sure.
Sarah Pierik? LEAVING KOAM? What a loss for our city; waking up and seeing her beaming smile always made my day so much better.
I don't have any idea what KSN's weekend sports guy's name is, nor do I care. But would someone from KSN please tell him to grow up or find another job . I don't watch that station much but when I do, he is always on camera laughing and barely getting through his 3 minutes of grap. Where have all the good sports anchors gone?
Hello, Sarah has moved to KWCH tv in Wichita, KS and is doing well her profile for the new station can be seen at http://ips.mgnetwork.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=KWCH/HTMLPage/WCH_HTMLPage&c=HTMLPage&cid=1137835074009
