A Couple Of Site Things

PrintI want to touch on a couple of minor things for the site, and then move on to putting the final cherry on the. . .um. . .fecal matter sundae that we've been given to digest over the past couple of days.
In something I meant to touch on a while ago. . .and by "a while" I mean "going on about six weeks". . .we've surpassed the 3 million hit mark as a site. I believe we actually hit it the day of the Detroit game (which, along with the Vikings' victory that day, made for damn fine birthday gifts), but for some reason it had slipped my mind to mention it before now. So, as just a brief little timeline for the history of the site. . .
10 July 2006 - Daily Norseman goes online
1 July 2009 - Daily Norseman reaches 1 million hits
26 January 2010 - Daily Norseman reaches 2 million hits
26 September 2010 (approximately) - Daily Norseman reaches 3 million hits
For the record, as of now we're sitting at 3,385,105 total hits. . .thanks largely to the fact that, since the day we hit three million, we've experienced the three biggest days in the history of the site. Those days?
6 October - 37,275 hits
1 November - 32,275 hits
2 November - 24,248 hits
Hmmmm. . .anyone remember what the topic du jour on those days was?
So, anyway, I just wanted to put that out there as an opportunity to thank everyone for making this site a part of their Vikings' routine, and hope that you will continue to do so in the future.
Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday, folks. . .I'll be back at some point tomorrow to put my final bow on the entire fiasco from this week, and we'll have other good stuff for you as well. Why? Because we're the best, and it's not close, that's why.

Cool
Been here for all 3 milestones thanks to God’s good grace and the good folks here that gave me great reading while healing and fun chats when I was able to sit up to a keyboard.
Thanks everyone at this site for putting up with my shortcomings. Most of all when reading other sites I don’t see the friendship feeling that we who have been here a long time have.
For you new folks-welcome! Hope to get to know many of you as we cheer and talk about our Vikings.
Remember, knowing others have a different opinion on a topic is any less valuable than yours. Keep an open mind, you might learn more than you might try to share. Have fun with folks and don’t belittle-(unless they are a troll who comes making garbage). Oh, not all trolls are trouble makers. We have our moment (I have) when a unruly troll gets you POed and fighting back is sometimes warrented. BUT, keep it cival among friends
Thanks DN for everything!
I think Oct. 6th was the day the Moss trade rumor leaked
and the last two days were the Moss waive/Fire Chilly Part Deaux

The question was meant to be semi-rhetorical

Well done Chris.
I particularly enjoy “watching” the games with ya’ll and I know that it is harder work than people might realize. Thanks again.
As Much
As I want to tell this organization to kiss my ass, I just can’t. I think I posted more in those two last days than I had the entire time I’d been on here before that. I needed to let off the steam.
And just for the record, I still think Childress is an idiot and should be fired immediately if not sooner.
SKOL VIKINGS!!!
I am boycotting the Vikings until they fire Brad Childress.
Congratulations, and well done guys!!!
Check in everyday via RSS, and love the blogs!!! Keep up the good work!
I think I need to check the Saints blog too and find out if I’ll ever get to start Reggie on my team again…..
37,275 in a day?
that’s a good month for us! :)
Congrats on 3,000,000, this is as good as it gets.

Way to go Chris
The there have been days that I wondered of the DN was going to end up in the dump heap b/c of all the bitching but the"old" regulars always come through to bring the discussions in line and make the DN healthy again. That is due to great leadership!
Thanks Chris for all your efforts and time!
Now if we can only get that kind of leadership with our beloved purple!

Congratulations, Chris ( and members)
I, too, have been a fan and member of DN almost from day one. It’s been my favorite Vikings site since I first discovered it. No other site has as many insightful commentaries and well-written articles as the ones found here. This is simply the best Vikings-related site on the web! Thanks Chris – and “staff” – for the great work. Keep it up.
hits vs visits
I supervise several websites and do alot of stats for them. “hits” became a rather meaningless stat years ago, because it includes alot of spider activity, etc.. Visits is far more
meaningful…e.g. ad agencies don’t even look at hits.
So what are the visits?
Hits=visits
We’ve had 1,400+ unique visitors today. Those numbers Chris mentioned were unique visitors on those days.
We’re at 3.4+ million visits with 6.5+ million page views as of this post.

Just happy to be here
I’m very thankful that I suckered Chris (or Gonzo back then) into letting me write for this wonderful community. It’s so great to have a public forum to share my feelings about my favorite team, especially when I need to vent about them in seasons like this one!
Here’s to another 3 million+ unique visitors!

This is great!
Is there any way to get similar numbers from the other teams’ sites so we can see where we rank? I’d love to know.

I think Chris gets reports sent to him from time to time
It would definitely be interesting to see, although I’m not sure if SB Nation wants us to post those numbers to publicly “compete” with fellow network sites.

Hey BP426. I was going to ask the same question.
All I know is every time there’s a Viking game shown nationwide, it comes in first in the ratings, whether it’s on one of the big networks or Monday night cable TV.
The Vikings are America’s team. (for now anyway)

If you want to look
If you scroll all the way to the bottom of each team’s site, you’ll see a little graphic in the lower-right corner that says “Sitemeter.”
That puts all the stats out there. We have a console that differs slightly from the Sitemeter, but it’s relatively accurate overall.

Well done, it's a great site
I’m fairly new to the site, I really enjoy it. Great information, great discussions. Congratulations, it’s great to be a part of it.
Congrats!
I have looked at some of the other fan sites on SB Nation and the Daily Norseman is the best!
