TFTS 1 Million Visits

We’re genuinely thrilled to announce that TFTS has passed the somehow rather meaningful 1,000,000 unique visitor mark today (courtesy of a visitor from Jackson, Mississippi) within 18 months of featuring our very first post – an occasion that we couldn’t possibly let pass without a brief acknowledgement and the cracking open of a few beers this end.

For those of you who are interested in stats – and we’re sure that some of you may be – TFTS is presently serving well over 110,000 visitors per month (we’re at the 180,000+ page views mark in February already) with around 8,000 page views being racked up in every 24 hour period which, in all honesty, considering TFTS is very much a one man operation, we’re fairly happy with (I say ‘we’re happy with’ on account of the wife’s support during this period and the fact that the cat has just acknowledged my existence for the first time ever – a coincidence, perhaps?).

So here’s to the next million, which, on account of the fact that we’re presently looking to hire a team of writers to assist with content, we hope will not prove too distant a target. (We’ll be making an announcement concerning staff positions here at TFTS in due course but, in the meantime, if you are interested in writing for us – and getting paid to do so – please do not hesitate to contact us via our contact form).

I’m off for a beer.

My congratulations, Andrew. Your blog is one of my favorites.

Thanks Nick!

Of course the big hitters manage this a month but we (like you) don’t have a team of writers and companies laying press releases and review items at our door. You, more than most, will know the sheer amount of background work involved (even just doing tailor made images for each and every post) so your kind comments are very, very much appreciated.

Hopefully this time next year TFTS will have a team of writers – that’s certainly my ambition.

Congrats on the major milestone! Glad to hear things are going so well. Keep up the good work and see you at 10 million.

Thank you Paul – I must admit 10 million has a certain ring about it. I expect many things will be different then – no hair at all being one of them (not that I have much now). I wonder how many re-designs will have passed at that stage. lol. Moreover, let’s lhope we have a nicer logo than the one we have now!!

Thanks for your kind comments Al – CG serves as inspiration as to what can be achieved if one works one’s butt off.
