Urban Milwaukee Hits 5 Million Views!
In just 8 months, up 28% since last year. To celebrate, here's a special discounted membership deal.
Growth.
Urban Milwaukee has just reached another very exciting milestone.
This year is the quickest we’ve reached 5 million page views, having just passed that number a few moments ago. That means our various stories, photos, press releases and more have been viewed over 5 million times in just eight months. Back at this time in 2018, our page views were at just 3.9 million, which we were pretty darn proud of. But compared to the our steady upward growth in annual readership since 2011, this year has seen a veritable explosion in readership.
Compared to August 30 of last year, total page views have increased by a whopping 28 percent!
And to thank our loyal and ever-growing throng of readers for their growing support, we want to offer a membership deal that is valid only through Sunday, September 1st. Beginning today and through the weekend, to celebrate our hitting 5 million so fast, you can become a member for just $5 per month rather than the normal $9 per month. That’s right, we’re lopping $4 off the normal price of a monthly Urban Milwaukee membership for the entire year so you can join for just $5/month for the first year. By joining, you’ll help support a publication that celebrates and writes about all things Milwaukee, while earning the chance to get free tickets and other freebies to various offerings.

Our publication continues to grow its editorial coverage, publishing more than 50 stories and 100 press releases per week. And it’s not just our page views that have increased. Our readership, which was just under 160,000 monthly readers this time last year, has now grown to about 205,000 monthly readers.
