Our Madeline Island Real Estate Blog is Read by Nearly as Many Minnesotans as by Wisconsinites

I probably should have guessed this all along, but today I did a little research into the visitor statistics for my Madeline Island Real Estate Blog to see where those visitors are coming from.  And I found that the number of blog visitors from Wisconsin and Minnesota is nearly equal.  Below are the stats from my ClustrMaps widget on my Wisconsin blog:

You'll notice that the number of visitors from Minnesota and from Wisconsin is close to identical, both states with around 1500 blog visitors.  Following on the list are visitors from California (811), Illinois (591), Florida (380), Texas (311), Michigan (278), New York (247), Iowa (246) and Arizona (219).

Madeline Island gets a fair amount of attention from people in Minnesota, as most of our summer homeowners seem to come from the Minneapolis - Saint Paul metropolitan area, from Duluth or from Rochester (home of the Mayo Clinic).  We also see a good number of summer visitors from California and Illinois (mostly the Chicago area).

Madeline Island has also enjoyed plenty of press coverage, not only in the Twin Cities area but also in the Chicago Tribune, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, even in the New York Times.  And our Madeline Island Real Estate Blog was praised by Editor Stacy Moncrieff in Realtor Magazine in the summer of 2010.

Not to complain, but I wish our Wayzata Lakes Realty Minneapolis Saint Paul & Lake Minnetonka Real Estate Blog would draw as much visitor traffic from Wisconsin as it receives from folks in Minnesota!
