7 Million Served

OTB has had 7 million unique visitors as measured by SiteMeter since February 4, 2003.

Thanks to all who’ve come by, and especially those who leave comments and (non-spam) trackbacks.

As noted previously here and elsewhere, SiteMeter isn’t the most accurate guage of site traffic but it is the most ubiquitous, making it a more-or-less reasonable guage of comparative traffic. See my 2005 Year in Review for a discussion of our host-provided stats.
