Megablog Wanna Be

August 14, 2006 in Other Stuff with 10 Comments

I don’t know what these numbers mean, but I wanted to highlight a first for TonyMorganLive.com. Over the last 30-day period, there have been over 10,000 unique visitors to the website. That’s in addition to everyone who is following the blog via feed readers and aggregators like Bloglines.com. To my knowledge, this is the first time I’ve had over 10,000 unique visitors in any given month. I thought that was pretty cool! Those numbers include over 4,000 returning visitors and over 6,000 first-time guests. Thanks for joining the conversation!

For the record, though, I will not be satisfied until the site surpasses 2,000 subscribers (see more about subscribing). I figure that’s when we can start referring to this site as a "megablog." Maybe then people will begin writing about how I "water down" my posts just to get subscribers. You know–they’ll start referring to the site as "blog-lite." Critics will downplay my site’s growth because it’s "lurker-driven." They’ll come down on my site because I don’t have enough altar calls and invite first-time visitors to become fully-immersed as RSS subscribers in every post. That’ll be fun!

    Nice, but I had a hard time finding a parking spot for my mouse.

    :-) Ha ha ha.

    Congratulations.

    I think you owe it all to your irresistible subtitle for the blog: “one of the simply strategic guys.”

    “one of the” always grabs me and pulls me in no matter what the context. Ha ha. :-)

    Don’t forget Tony! I’ll be there to remind people that your blog is actually part of the old BBS denomination… even though you don’t mention it anywhere on your site!

    Blessings bro.

    I’ll be able to say that “I knew Tony back when he only had 50 people subscribing to his blog.” *sniff*

    You’re awesome Tony! Thanks for doing what you do!

    Hi Tony.

    “Lurker-driven.” Wonderful. I loved that phrase. Is it copyrighted, or can anyone use it?

    Keep keeping on.

    God Bless.

    Tony, all you ever talk about at your blog is money. I’m leaving for the blog down the road where it’s all about quality not quantity.

    :)

    Dave.

    Talk about sex more you’ll get your numbers, throw in some seductive photos, if I can remember a church tried that and it worked.

    Be careful, if you get a MegaBlog. Don’t want to get a MegaHead.
