I checked my stats just now and my jaw dropped, after just over 1 year of blogging, I have finally gone past the million hits a month mark!

I’ve also noticed my Alexa rank go to lower and lower numbers over the past few weeks too. As I write this it is at 61,627 which puts me in the top 7000 websites in the UK. rule brittania!!

It looks as though not much has changed in the way of which posts are most popular, just how much more traffic they get.

I think it’s time I released a new plugin. It’ll be the contest notify one that you might see drop down on this post. It frees a spot for a featured post and allows you to continue writing posts without worrying about dropping the contest post too far down the screen so it doesn’t get enough attention.

Hopefully that can take me up a few more hits or so!

Take a look at the screenshot of my current stats page below..

that’s 1 million 8 hundred and 19 thousand 502 hits so far this month

by golly!

I started this blog with the tagline “get hits or die tryin” as a bit of a joke but I never imagined this site could get so busy. I attribute most of it to being an internet god my CommentLuv plugin and remote script that does the fetching of the last blog post.

A few people have asked why the script that does the fetching is held remotely on my server and it’s because of my new plans that are starting to come together (mwuhahaha!). The AJAX platform independent version of CommentLuv and associated member site will be soon, the AJAX version is the reason behind the remote script. This way I’ll be able to code a CommentLuv plugin that only requires the user to be able to add a javascript reference to the head of their template, no WordPress core code needed at all. Things will start to rok soon enough!

Thanks to everyone for continuing to visit FiddyP, I do it all for your (comment)luv ;-)
