In which The Gay Recluse reports to the Board of Directors on monthly traffic-whoring metrix.

I. Summary
June marked our third best month on record, and — in light of limited time investment into the site — represents a promising long-term trend. If we’re ever in a position to start posting with renewed frequency, we feel confident that the market will respond positively. Until that time, sustainable traffic whoring is the objective.

V. Forecast

Because of some ongoing subsidiary projects, traffic whoring will most likely be maintained at low to declining levels through July and August, with renewed investment expected in September, around the one-year anniversary of the site.
