Blog: More than 1 million served

March 26, 2008

Sometime Tuesday, Site Meter recorded the 1,000,000th unique daily visitor to PeoriaPundit.com.

I have no idea who it what or what brought them here. Was it a regular visitor who wanted get his or her daily fix? Was it someone lured here by promises of pics of Paige Davis stripping?

And I have to concede that the number is no doubt off by a bit. My internal metrics show many more hits a day than Site Meter records. And I’ve switched domains and blogging platforms many times, and I probably passed 1 million a while ago.

Nevertheless, I guess 1 million visitors is kind of a big deal. But it’s not that big of a deal.

I’m more concerned about whether or not Peorians think I’m accomplishing anything here.

I’ve been interviewed in receive weeks by journalists writing articles for Illinois Issues and Numero. In both cases, they said they wanted to talk to me because I’m supposed to be the top boss blogger in Peoria. Feh. I’m just an early adopter, that’s all. And I’ve kept doing it, while others have decided to get on with their lives.

Meanwhile I keep railing away about TIFs and enterprise zones, downtown museums and civic centers.

    Congratulations on hitting the 1,000,000 visitor mark. I was almost not sure how many zero’s to insert in there Lol! You should be very proud of the change you have instated and the thoughts you have provoked in Peoria. You are a great example of how an average person can make a difference.

    Although we are not always in agreement, I very much admire what you have accomplished and how you have served the citizens of Peoria as well as your fellow bloggers. Keep up the good work!

    It was that contraption you built to push F5 every 10 seconds when you’re sleeping or not home.

    Such a device MIGHT improve hit counts and strain my bandwidth) but not improve unique daily visitor counts.

    Sorry to rain on your parade, but I’ve accessed your site from at least six different computers on different networks on a regular basis at one time or another. I’ll call five friends and tell them to visit. Fair?
