September 25th, 2009 WUWT hit the 20 million mark. I was shocked then, because we’d gone from 10 million just six months prior. I wrote then in Another small milestone for WUWT:
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.
Now, just three months later, I’m gobsmacked at hitting 30 million.
Longtime reader and surfacestations volunteer Gary Boden sent me an interesting email a few days ago.
To: Anthony Watts
Anthony,
First of all, here’s wishing you and your family a peaceful and blessed Christmas.
Second, as I predicted on September 25th:
Gary (19:24:11) :
Thirty million hits by 1 Jan 2010?
REPLY: Doubtful, but reader can always help by placing links on other blogs. – A
WUWT is just about to pass 29 million on the Blog Stats hit counter with eleven days to go. You just may do it.
-Gary
WUWT will end up December 2009 with a new record in monthly traffic. Though it has dipped during the holidays. I’ll have more at years end.
On behalf of myself, the moderation team, and contributors, readers, it has been our honor. – Anthony

Congrats on a job well done!
Anthony,
From one of your new readers and extremely interested Climategate observers… Congratulations!
Awesome
And climate progress just celebrated a topic having 8 responses.
Just remember last month I pointed out you had a spike in visits but the e-mail fiasco was only announced for the last 1/3 of the month.
IN this case, I guess, quantity and quality have a causative/correlative effect.
Congratulations, and the honor is ours as readers and advocates of a reasoned analysis of climate. The efforts of people like you and McIntyre are a tremendous service to mankind – and I don’t feel that’s an exaggeration. The blog traffic is great news and gives me hope that the world may actually wake up sooner rather than later.
Very well done Anthony.
Strength to strength. Congratulations Anthony, you have caught a wave of a yearning for knowledge and open discussion. Long may it continue.
Anthony,
And it’s been our pleasure.
Thirty Million visitors is a great new milestone, but its one that will easily be exceeded during the new year.
Congratulations, we all appreciate what you do, not only for our own enlightenment, but for all of humanity that has for too long been kept in the dark about climate science.
Congratulations Anthony
This is one site that I can visit morning, noon, and night and always find something new to read and more to learn. Thanks Anthony for a great site.
Congratulations!
May there be many more such pleasant surprises in your future.
It’s a result of positive feedback.
Congratulations, and thank you!
Congratulations

Go Antony!….
I’ve been watching the sidebar numbers over the last two weeks in particular. It will be interesting to see the graph. Congratulations all round. I expect even greater interest when the surface station critique is ready.
Well done on an incredible job.
Great to have this rock in a sea of lunacy.
Dang it ,_Anthony_no Coffee and the flu has its deleterious effects…
Anthony,

If you plot hits vs. time it will look like a…….hockey stick.
WUWT: The new mainstream. . . .
Long may you run; and many thanks for a hugely valuable and important public service.
Great site, look forward to viewing it everyday.
Let’s just say: Copenhagen, that’s enough to describe WUWT achievements.
Great job! It reflects the job you do in maintaining an honest forum for information and discussion, unlike some other people we might know …
