The Kansas City Star web site had 1,775,000 unique visits in October 2009 -- 30% fewer than a year ago, according to the latest Nielsen study reported by Editor & Publisher.
Nationally, news site visits in October were down about a third compared to October last year. The decline is likely due to the 2008 election season, which was in full swing last October.
The October Nielsen numbers for the Star are a big drop from the previous month, as well -- in September 2009, the KC Star site had 2,214,000 unique visits.

It's sort of like when you take a dump. It's only somewhat interesting to take a peak at it for so long. But then the longer it sits there, the uglier it is and the more it stinks.
The Chiefs are tanking. The Royals sucked. The two mainstays of the Star outside of crime news (there's still plenty of that...).
let's not mention the election.shall we, because that would balance the story
Inflated unique numbers because of a big presidential election and the economy tanking. Now that things are back to "normal" the online traffic has significant shrinkage.
Anon 2:13 That’s disgusting! Disgustingly funny!
Just so we have a little balanced background...Fox News viewership is UP five percent.
