Facts are what they are. Facts are stubborn things. Facts, evidence, and applied common sense do not kneel before those who would turn the nation at large, or our profession, into a modern version of a feudalistic society. As the runaway largest and most-read trade publications in manufactured housing for all but the earliest days of our 12+ year history, MHProNews and later MHLivingNews broke new ground on industry-focused reports. While we as publishers may have a topic we like, it is readers like you that decide which reports are #1-10 on MHLivingNews, or #1-25 on MHProNews. Following these top reports, based on website data “Generated 29-Dec-2021 06:10 CST,” will be the latest edition of our first and still only Daily Business News manufactured housing equities and macro market graphical reports, which includes our time saving and insight useful left-right headline summary.
First up is MHLivingNews, which along with MHProNews gets millions of unique visits annually, per third-party Webalizer. Webalizer stats indicate that over a million page views occur monthly on MHProNews, with the typical reader visiting some 6 articles per visit. That’s about double the engagement for mainstream media platforms. For proprietary reasons, the #1 report is being withheld, and recently overtook the current, as are two others that are promotional (ie. marketing) in nature. While the fact that promotional reports are ranking so highly is useful for us professionally, it is not our intention to teach our wanna-be rivals – who reportedly are routine readers – how to improve their reports and reader engagement beyond stating this obvious point. Readers want facts and evidence, not just eye-candy or fluff.
Note that the last link above has only been online for a few days yet has made the top engagement. This goes to the heart of the fact that readers want evidence. It also may reflect the vacuum that exists on other platforms – the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) comes to mind – who ought to be promoting facts that include third-party reports, but for whatever reasons have failed to do so.
Next up are the top read reports on MHProNews. Note that a story about crime is number 1 most read, which is not always the case on MHProNews. Number 2 is our exclusive report on Leo Poggione as MHI chairman, which includes a link that updates his reply to our reporting inquiry.
On MHProNews there are thousands of reports that date back over 12 years. Because we have made it a principle not to delete a report, it is worth noting that some stories emerge (or re-emerge) months or even years after it was first published. Per Webalizer on our main (out of a baker’s dozen) servers for MHProNews as of the date/time shown above, there were “15695 Total Referrers.” “Referrers are those URLs that lead a user to your site or caused the browser to request something from your server.” These are routinely the reports themselves, or the ‘referral path’ to a report. Google or other outside path results are eliminated from the below, so what remains are the most-accessed reports out of over 15,000 accessed to that point of the month. With that background, it is interesting to note that the report on the passing of Bill Matchneer, J.D., surged past over 15,000 others to land in the top 12 reports for the month, even though it has been online for less than 48 hours when this ranking was generated.
As noted, Webalizer is web log analysis software, which generates web pages of analysis, from access and usage logs. As noted, across our large site and its range of servers, MHProNews alone generates over a million pageviews monthly, with roughly double the pages-per-visit compared to mainstream media. Given that our industry only has some 75,000 full time employees, and that it is often business managers, leaders, and the career minded that are our readers, it is an astonishing level of engagement. By contrast to our platform, others give no clue as to their engagement, other than making fact- and evidence-free claims.
Among those that didn’t make the cut above but are just beyond that cut and in the top 1% of MHProNews engagement (which the evidence reflects is routinely the runaway most-read in our profession), are reports like these that often have no counterpart from MHI and/or their de facto mouthpieces and member-trade media.
As 2021 draws to a close, and 2022 looms, we want to take a moment and thank our readers, sources, and sponsors for making and keeping us the runaway most-read trade media in manufactured housing.
