Time for the traditional monthly update on FeedBlitz activity and metrics. Getting straight down to brass tacks, we ended November with an active circulation of 1,159,751 for a month on month growth rate of 4.6%
As I mentioned in the October update, the site update introduced by the FeedBlitz 2 upgrade meant that last month was going to be the new base line for site metrics going forward. Despite the slow down in visitors due to the US Thanksgiving holiday, feedblitz.com had 1,063,000 page views in November from just over 421,000 unique visitors.

Feature-wise, we got off to a slow-ish start but have picked up the pace markedly this last week. In November, we:

- Enabled our Blogger Beta widget
- Opened up the newsletter preview facility.
- Added Amazon.com affiliate advertising to our roster of supported ad networks.
- Enabled simple email publication for publishers of search and database-driven RSS feeds.
