Not sure where else to post this so that you will see it, but as I write, your blogstats are sitting at 99,965,942 views … so your blog is rapidly approaching a very significant milestone – which I anticipate will probably be reached within the next day or so (if not sooner!)
May I suggest that you start a Countup thread, so that lurkers and fans may express their thoughts as this milestone approaches … This will build excitement and traffic – and confound the “powers that wannabe”, I’m sure 😉
On one hand it thought to myself “it’s just a number, no big deal” on the other hand I thought “this only comes once, and a number of people have emailed me about it, so there must be some excitement going on”.
So, who am I to argue with the lady? Sound off below.
100 million. A good start.
RE: Joe Zeise says:January 7, 2012 at 7:08 am: “I switched……from Drudge to WUWT as my home page a year ago”
Drudge is pretty much useless, and not just on climategate etc. issues. For a guy who claims to have made his bones covering what no one else would (Lewinsky), he’s remarkably silent on a lot of damned serious issues… until their well and thoroughly covered elsewhere.
Drudge’s recent emphasis on Prison Planet “reports” doesn’t do a lot for whatever credibility he might have had.
But, I confess, sometimes I do still check Drudge out. For much the same reason I’ll glance at the National Inquirer in check out lines: some mild amusement during a brief period of boredom. But certainly not for edification or enlightenment.
I follow your site with barely google translator because my English proficiency is limited. Even if this translation is not correct.
Antony, I congratulate him for his battle against the lie of global warming, and finding items to prove it. Although this summer in Argentina is terribly dry and temperatures have exceeded several times 40 ° C. And that is nothing that effects of La Niña. I live in the city of Villa Allende, Cordoba, Argentina.
Then leave the Spanish text, in one of those you speak Spanish, haha!.
Greetings and a hug.
Yo sigo su página a duras penas con el traductor de google, ya que mi dominio del idioma inglés es limitado. Incluso no se si esta traducción es correcta.
Antony, quiero felicitarlo por su batalla contra la mentira del calentamiento global, y la búsqueda de elementos que lo demuestran. A pesar de que este verano en Argentina está terriblemente seco y con temperaturas que varias veces han superado los 40ºC. Y que no es otra cosa que efectos de La Niña. Yo vivo en la ciudad de Villa Allende, provincia de Córdoba, Argentina.
A continuación dejo el texto en español, en una de esas usted habla español, jaja!.
Saludos y un abrazo.
Anthony: I have a screen cap of the 100,000,000 visitor now.
And BEFORE the 10^7 visitor. Does that count?
REPLY: No
just as well. I can’t even get the superscript right. It should have been 10^8.
Slightly early, but, Congratulations on such an achievment! Well done!
INTEGRITY.
Congratulations Anthony.

What’s the prize for being the 100,000,000th visit. Carbon credits?

not long now – but getting exactly 100,000,000 in the frame? As unlikely as Al giving his Oscar and Nobel back.

99,999,962 views! Holy Crap!
Hit Rate is now 5000 per hour.
About 48 to go.
100 Millionth should occur ANY MINUTE.
Anthony, I think Lord Monckton was pressing this IS such a hurdle for it may be a bit till the 9th order.☺
99,999,962 views
The closest you will see because this counter like temperature changes in steps.
Thank you and congratulations!
It appears from comments here that WordPress updates the count at some interval, not with each page served. Bummer. I do have a capture of the HTML at
So it would be easy enough to fake, I should think, but I won’t try.
38 to go at 3.52 GMT
Did anyone check the blog stata can display 100,000,000?
It’s been stuck at:
Blog Stats
99,999,962 views
for waaaay toooo long!
I see 99,999,962, but when I refresh the page it doesn’t change. What’s up with that? I expect there’s some good scientific explanation as usual (to stop people erroneously increasing counts?) but I should be seeing other new people’s hits shouldn’t I?
Rich.
Blimey – 38 more to get to the magic number, at 15.59 GMT!
9,999,962 views – Crap! Early, as always… 😉
You are doing a phantastic job, Anthony!
Good luck for the next 100 mill. views.
Michael from Germany
100 million or bust!
Great fun today, back to the serious stuff now folks!
