City Hit List 2006-01-01

Several stories come out of this quarter’s rankings. Firstly, Regina has increased its hits for the 2nd consecutive period, stretching its once precarious lead on Edmonton and Calgary, which remained stagnant. Secondly, La Ronge dropped one position. At one time it gathered 40 to 50 hits per quarter, but has now dropped to a lowly 3! Meanwhile, Thunder Bay continues be a hot spot, and is getting hotter. And finally, Lethbridge knocked Weyburn out of the Top 20, Montreal gained a spot, Halifax lost one, and we added 66 unique locations.

Just a quick question.

How are your figures arrived at?

I am from Southey, SK.
In the city by Hits we are listed as # 83 with 118 hits

But I am personally listed at # 44 with 329 hits as of Dec 31, 2005.

So again I ask, Where do these numbers come from?

Terry from Southey

It's the city hit list. Therefore 118 HITS have been entered with a Southey postal code. Some have been your bills, some will be other peoples bills hit in southey. If all 84 hits you entered were from Southey, that would make up most of the 118 hits generaged from there. Clear like mud?

The numbers are where the hits occur, not by the location of the originator of the bill.
