HeroPress just hit the 100,000 visitors mark this afternoon; a lot sooner than I'd expected - thanks, almost entirely, to the mad influx of readers when Torchwood: Children Of Earth was being shown.This means I'll be paying for the celebratory meal I promised Rachel, as she correctly predicted that HeroPress would reach this milestone before August.
Given that it took my little "magazine blog" two years to reach 50,000 hits, back in February, we've now doubled that in just five months.
Perhaps if I could actually focus on one particular area of geekdom for more than a few moments, then HeroPress might go stellar, but on the whole I'm very pleased to just trundle along in my own sweet way, skipping from 'hot topic' to 'hot topic' as the whim takes me.
Hopefully I'm doing something right as HeroPress is now up to 52 "Followers" on Blogger, 49 "Readers" on Facebook and 84 "Google Subscribers".
I'm also pleased to report that there are 11,960 links to HeroPress out there in the big wide world Interwebs - which is basically another meaningless statistic, but sounds quite cool.
All I can say, as before, is a big thank you to everyone who Follows, Reads, Subscribes or just drops in on an occasional basis. You guys and gals give this moody, middle-aged, stay-at-home Brit a sense of purpose, so HeroPress is here to stay and I hope you'll all come along for the ride.
Feedback, questions, comments, and criticism (constructive) is always welcome - along with financial donations, food parcels and technical assistance.




I wanted to be the first to say 'well done'; I'm very proud of my flea.xxx
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the milestone. People don't keep coming back if there is nothing good there to begin with. Keep up the good work.

ReplyDeleteUsing the swine flu prediction method, by the end of August you'll be having 100,000 hits a day to this site! :)
Congratulations!

ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments. I'm looking forward to the day when I am getting 100,000 hits a day (that's when I start running proper adverts!)
Congrats from Canada on reaching your milestone! Hopefully it is the first of many.
