We are patting our own backs this week at PC Towers ......
.... this because we apparently reached, and then surpassed, a small web landmark.
Yes, we seemingly reached, and then passed the 500,000 blog views landmark. Who would have thunk it .... more than half a million hits. WOW ..... but of course there's a catch.
A couple of weeks ago, we were still 10,000 views below that figure, which to be honest, at about 100 - 200 hits a day, meant the 500,000 figure was some time off being reached. But then ....
..... happened yesterday, and again today. 'Et Voilà' .... record passed.
I assume that some sort of Spamming or DOS attack occurred, which didn't impact the actual posts viewed, but triggered the view counter.
Now I will probably never know when the real 500,000th visit occurs (but probably sometime sooner rather than later) .... so I may as well celebrate this small web event today.

Well done. Not a follower but regular visitor.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks. As I said the figures are somewhat distorted by the strange events last week. it wasn't one post going 'viral' (I have only had one post ever do a mini viral when it got 3,000 hits in one day), in fact no posts showed any unusual activity. Still I got a cheap post out of it, so not all bad!!
DeleteWell done! No-PC deserves many more readers than it apparently gets and maybe one day they will come...
ReplyDeleteI think your supporting cheerleaders are in a Quantum state of multi-positional flux - their moves don't seem to be of this Universe. It may be a lingering symptom of the cyber attack?
Possibly! I appreciate your visible support Vroomfondel.
