Steve Smith's Eye on Digital Media--October Boxscores: House and Garden.com, too, Will Be Missed. October was predictably strong for most of the service magazine sites as Halloween ideas and a seasonal refocus on the home scared up substantial spikes at Meredith's BHG.COM (+77.35% page views, +28.41% unique visitors versus September), and Hearst's COUNTRYLIVING.COM (+87.55% PVs, +17.79% UVs). The recently canceled HOUSEANDGARDEN.COM produced similar results (+99.55% PVs, +41.04% UVs), but with much emotion. Ordinarily, magazines just disappear from newsstands before an editor gets to say goodbye, let alone let readers respond. The digital age has even reformatted the way a book closes. House and Garden editor-in-chief (since October 1996) Dominique Browning announced the decision in a heartfelt online editorial that linked to forums where scores of readers wrote lengthy farewells in return.Also notable in October: (1) PARADE.COM (+88.16% PVs, +67.25% UVs), in part from the MSN portal's heartier distribution deals and its picking up celebrity and health stories; (2) WIRED.COM (+39.44% PVs, +32.19% UVs), with--shades of Playboy --its slideshow of Tokyo's Adult Expo being the most popular feature; (3) INSTYLE.COM (+16.20% PVs, +39.67% UVs), where the popular Look of the Day clusters together multiple celebrity looks for the editors and readers to choose a favorite; and (4) travel site CONCIERGE.COM (+87.55% PVs, +17.79% PVs), which got scary traffic by spooking up the editorial in World’s Creepiest Places that ran on partner Yahoo!'s home page and generated 8.5 million PVs.
