Joe’s inbox has fielded its share of questions asking whether the lockout is affecting traffic at JoeBucsFan.com.

Great question!

The answer is, No. At least Joe doesn’t think so.

Joe’s well on pace to best February’s record traffic numbers, and Joe’s traffic should be up about 80 percent in March from March 2010. Joe was looking for a 100 percent increase in March (there’s still an outside shot) so perhaps that’s lockout related.

Anyway, no matter what happens with the lockout, Joe will be working tirelessly for Bucs fans daily — and resuming his postgame column on the popular JoeRaysFan.com on opening day.
