Celebration! 4M+ reads! Dan Russell

A small celebration is in order...

... in total, SRS has, to date ...


... this week, SearchResearch passed 4 million reads since its inception in January of 2010.

I know some number of those reads are by bots, but I suspect the majority are all human readers--mostly people like you, who want to improve their search skills.

A little more data for context:

- SRS gets around 11,000 reads / week

- this is the 1250th blog post

- you have made 12,234 comments

- if every reader spent 1 minute reading,
that's 7.6 years of someone reading (at 24 hours/day)

Thanks to all of you, the loyal readers of SearchResearch!


Forward... to 8 million reads!

Search on!
