Back on March 15th, 2009, I was amazed to find that WUWT hit 10 million on the internal WordPress hit counter.
I started the WUWT blog in late November of 2006, and it took me over two years to get there
Now just six months later, I’m amazed again:
Despite the many people of the alarmism bent who dislike what we do here, WUWT continues to be popular. As always thanks to the many many readers, the guest contributors, and especially to our moderators dbs, Charles, and Evan who keep the flow of conversation going smoothly.
I’m grateful to all of you for the continued success and support. I’m especially grateful to those who spread WUWT links on other websites, helping to drive traffic here.
Now my most important question: what could WUWT do different or better?
– Anthony
Congratulations Anthony (and mods), and thank you.
Congrats Anthony, a thoroughly deserved milestone for a place of sanity in an insane world. Ditto thanks to the mods and all those who contribute.
Well you do have about the best information out there that debunk catastrophic AGW by allowing tons of info on the Solar Effect, SST effect, and pretty much any other possible effect.
Congrats to you, I wonder how the pro AGW blogs like climate progress and realclimate is doing with their total hits in comparison?
While I do not agree with the billions of years timescale seen often here I’m still here because most people on this blog are united in that AGW as they say doesn’t exist and agree that Cap & Trade will destroy nations.
Sorry, OT – but Antactic Ice is way above the fabled 1979-2000 average….

You don’t have to recommend a good wine!
Congratulations to all of you.
The message is now out there! Keep on this great work!
Ecotretas
Congratulations and you’re welcome!
All it takes is an open debate with moderation of those who would dominate the microphone with shrill rants. Oh, and a heck of a lot of work on the part of you, the guest posters, and the moderators 😉
Now just keep it up!
Veni, vidi, vici
20 million hits….. all those enquiring minds. The science is far from settled.
Congratulations Anthony, your efforts are much appreciated. You have contributed greatly to turning the tide of this debate, not just by the information you provide here, but with the sharp contrast in tone and approach that you offer to the condescension and close mindedness offered by those who resent your success.
A great site, thank you!
Congrats Anthony, I love this blog and I visit it almost everyday. I tell all my friends about it too. I don’t like to have smoke blown in my face by goverment paid scientist. I want the truth, and here at wuwt I find people also looking for the truth. Very refreshing.

What Dave Wendt (16:12:07) said.
After listening (in the car) to two NPR commentators lamenting the lack of agreement on a new ‘climate’ agreement for Copenhagen, it is a breath of fresh air to come here and read rational debate and discussion.
Onward and upward!

Good show Anthony, you manage to keep on finding stuff to give us cause to ponder. With enough pondering going on, some good is bound to come of it.
Compared to those sites that exist only to show that the man behind the curtain still bellows, you have a great recipe here Anthony; Congratulations
And maybe in a couple of days, we may see the JAXA ice recross the 2005 line; or maybe not; so we’ll be back to find out.

Anthony,

wait for it…
CHARGE ON!

REPLY: Wait til you see my new one. -A
Huzzah!
Congrats!
Thanks for all you and your helpers do Anthony, great job.
This is simply the best blog on the Internet bar none, largely due to Anthony’s knowledge of the Earth’s climate and his outstanding ability to present issues in a clear and comprehensible manner, while accurately representing the science.
Congratulations, and thank you Anthony, Charles, Evan, and guest writers who contribute from time to time. Reading this blog is normally one of the highpoints of my day.
After the battle is over, when the general population (of the world) understands the errors [snip] of the AGW alarmists, this site will be remembered as a primary force for truth that helped lead the way.
May God bless you all.
The Energizer Bunny® looks rather limp next to you.
Many thanks to you, Anthony, and all who contribute, moderate, correct, debate
and generally lurk (my current status). The open minds found here are what keeps me sane in this ever-maddening world. Keep up the fantastic work. It is appreciated by all, hence, the 20,000,000 hits!
Good product
Good on you guys Anthony, dbs, Charles, and Evan !!
Here is the link to an August 2009 article in Scientific American that mentions WattsUpWithThat, that some of you (who haven’t seen it yet) might find interesting:

Excellent! Very quick growth. A job well done by the WUWT Team (and especially its leadership)! At this rate, you might reach 30 million by early next year, perhaps even Christmas (or pick your favorite end of year holiday).
