Wow. I didn't know that. His traffic has gone way down since then. Did you make a typo? Or did Kevin actually have that much traffic? I've only been reading him for about 5 months.

And, yeah, I did a translation error: The post said 10,000 daily visits, which I calculated as 300,000 monthly visits, and typed as 300,000 daily. How you'd have 300,000 daily visits and only a million after a year. .

Being a Top Read and a Heavyweight in a year is something to be proud of indeed.

Congratulations again on another milestone! Been reading you since early on, and still a huge fan. I have a question for you.

In the last couple of months I have gone to RSS for a most of my blog reading. How does this effect your hit counts? I used to check your site 3-5 times a day, but now skim the RSS and read the articles that jump out at me.

Congratulations again on a fine job!

As I understand it, the RSS feeds aren't picked up in the SiteMeter numbers unless you actually click on over to the page in some fashion, since that's where the counters are. My site host's stats pick them up, though, which is one reason why the totals they provide are substantially higher.

You are truly evil.

I'll link you on Monday. Nobody reads blogs on the weekends.

Happy Blogiversary.

As with Meryl, I still get the occasional hit from the Blog Chicks Pix post too. And I'm thankful for the traffic you send my way when you link me for the Beltway Traffic Jam.

You have a very good blog - good content that's easy and fun to read.

Keep on keeping on, friend.

Happy Birthday!

I think I know why you're not getting any hits from Google though. I use the Google bar, and when I go to OTB I noticed that you don't even have a page ranking. That suggests that Google not only did not index your site, but may have banned your domain as well. That's extremely odd. You may have to get in touch with them to straighten it out.
