Howe's That HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! It's alarming to realize that in early 2017 we will be celebrating our third anniversary of running this here grammatically-perfect, non-typo, highly sarcastic publication. The Howe Enterprise will turn 54 years old in June of this coming year and perhaps it is at its most popular ever. Without question, it is being seen by more eyes in its 53 years. The Rideout family proved to be ahead of their time by moving a wellknown publication from print to an internet-based only publication back in 2011. The only downfall to internet-based anything is those pesky little no-good hackers that had to have sneaked out of the fiery furnace of., well uh, okay, back to the story. With the Howe Enterprise website reaching just under 100,000 visits for the year 2016, it caught the eye of criminals who want to take advantage of that much eyeball traffic for their own twisted evils. It was a pretty penny, but the website is now back in full tip-top shape with hopefully enough web armies to secure the border from here on out. Who knew that a tiny little publication would garner so much traffic that the evil people of the world would target our little publication. With that said, here are the 2016 final website numbers. Thank you so much for allowing us to serve you. Glory to God for me to be able to serve Howe for a living. Visits: 99,613 Unique visitors: 43,705 Pageviews: 191,187
