Dangerous Intersection is almost five years old, and we’ve hit a milestone in terms of traffic. In January, 2011, we served out one million pages (1,040,351, to be exact). January was our biggest traffic month so far. We had 230,724 visitors, and 134,695 of those visitors were unique visitors. We averaged 139,404 hits per day and 7,400 visitors per day. Amazing that all of this traffic does not quite pay for our hosting (through the ads), but none of the authors at this site ever expected to make money at DI (we haven’t yet made a penny).
Anyway, if you were one of our many new visitors last month, welcome. Please understand that we welcome your comments, especially if you disagree with us.
I think we have made people money here. For example, every minute I spend at DI is one less minute shoveling quarters into pinball games. Or what about the the money we save on newspapers? Lately, anything newsworthy, poignant, or especially whimsical gets picked up by the DI investigation team.
Then there is the benefit from: information on diet/health, legal tips and profound quotes from Erich, technology and frugal living from Dan, literature and life lessons from Mark, learning methods of interaction/argument from all.
Congrats DI
I disagree. I think only those people who agree should comment.
Pete: I left myself vulnerable for that comeback.
Congrats Erich! I think I should add something really profound here.. like: Really? That's awesome!
Dude, what hath we wrought? Cool!
