That’s amazing Darren – Congrats! On getting the image view for the 1,000,000th unique visitor – I’m sure that TAKING the image was the most difficult part of this exercise :D It’s not hard to believe you will have reached those levels from reading your content everyday.

I am confused in understanding Elliot’s comment #5 .. 1M every 30 days? Really? I’m stuggling to hit 50k on my biggest site .. over 8 months.

Thats awesome Darren!

I don’t usually become number bound but curiosity got the better of me so I decided to check the stats on one of ‘my babies’. I have had a total of 717,022 visitors already.

Being able to analyze stats is all well and good but what I am more concerned about is the bottom line. When it comes down to it there is no point in having lots of traffic if you are not monetizing that traffic properly. The key is to identify what your ‘goldmines’ are and direct traffic to them.

Thanks everyone – appreciate the comments.

Rob – here’s a graph of the last year (we’ve been going for almost 18 months though so it misses the first few months – but you’ll get the idea).

Elliot – yeah it’s a nice feeling. I’ve never celebrated a million before – I usually miss them. One of my other blogs just past the 6 mill mark and I didn’t noticed. So this one’s special – mainly cause I got the screen cap of the moment. :-)

Dan – yep I’ve had SM on ProBlogger since the start

brem – you’ll never be one in a million to me

Regan – lol – sorry mate. Didn’t realise I was at this mark til Rob emailed me. I suspect your 500,000 was done a little quicker than mine :-)

And here I was proudly telling you I had reached the milestone of 500,000 today. Trust you to trump me with a doubled number. hehehe

well, I don’t feel that way, because it’s great to see a blogger getting his million hits.

I visualize that one day, it would happen to me too.

Darren deserves each hits that he gets because he provides great content.
