Astonishing.
Since I launched this little exercise in teaching myself HTML, we have had over 4 million hits
Since registering with Site Meter on November 9, 2004, there have been 3,012,843 visitors, and 4,534,149 page views (on top of the 939,781 visitors pre-sitemeter).
As of February, we were averaging over 400,000 page views per month (not too shabby)
gotta remember to grab a better screen shot of that at the end of a month

Congratualtions! The numbers highlight the quality of your site and of your analysis.
wishing you all the best for the future.

Very impressive numbers Barry. Congrats. You should pop an ad or two on your pages! :-)

I'd avoid ads, every time I read a thoughtful analysis followed by ads for gold I begin to wonder about motives.
Oh by the way, BusinessWeek had a few comments from your blog in their print version. Blog aggregation on paper, wave of the future.

Impressive! Watching my blog's sitemeter traffic is almost as addictive as blogging itself. I have to limit myself to checking no more than once a day. Though I have to admit, lagging sitemeter traffic is a great motivator to posting something new.

Hey Barry, Is there an estimate of how many of those are duplicates? I know I quite frequently pop back & forth, and sometimes even multiple times in a day.

No hard data on that, I have to think some of them are -- if nothing else, my own impatience in watiing for something just posted to show up!

I find this site very rewarding and visit at least once a day. Many thanks.
