I’ve known for a month or so that sometime in the month of August I would celebrate my 1 millionth page view here on Bible Money Matters. Last night we passed the threshold and celebrated page view 1 million sometime around midnight. Today I couldn’t let the moment pass without at least making a mention, and sending out a brief word of thanks to everyone who has read my humble site, and who have made this journey so much fun for me over the past year and a half.
Thank you!

Thanks Andy! I’ve been following your site as well – looks like your counter just flipped over 1 million recently too, huh? (or is that visitors?)
It’s Visitors. I am in the process of writing an article like your’s….was a nice achievement and I treated my wife to a dinner (after having many a late night trying to write an article!).
Like you (I assume) had a nice run based on Stimulus related article but returning to a more normal level now.
But your twitter following is amazing – would be great to read an artcile on how that has help your blog etc.

The stimulus traffic was certainly kind to me as well.
I’ve written an article about how to use twitter to promote your blog – but it probably needs updating – I wrote it when i had 150+ followers, and i now have close to 5000. Maybe i’ll update it when i reach 5000!
