We just crossed an important milestone last month, clearing 1.5 million pageviews for the first time. Last year we bounced around in a trading range of 1 million to 1.2 million but started breaking out in January. Thanks to all the readers, contributors and advertisers who’ve helped make it happen.

  1. Half a million in growth in 4 months. Glad to see the wider world discovering how awesome it is here.

    I wonder, when threads are opened in order to comment on them, does that make another hit? And when you submit the comment and the page goes to the “May take a minute” notice, is that a hit?

  2. The page views speak to the relevance and evenness of the coverage. The widgets, cranks and characters are very enjoyable, but if there wasn’t something of value here, I’d be expanding the time I spend on other sites.

  3. Congrats! That’s really terrif. I know I tell a lot of people to visit the site for excellent input on a wide variety of topics. And even the comments & dissention are saner than some places that want to charge big bucks to partake.

  4. The blog keeps growing and succeeding because Mr. B’s vision keeps expanding and growing. How many new innovations have we seen this past six months?

    slopefarm, spot on. I read this blog intermittently until Sept., and a bunch of things made me become more active.

  5. Congrats. I love the new reader appraisal feature. Any chance you can have an opt-in checkbox, which, if selected, would associate your appraisal with your user id? Then, if users wanted, they could allow other users to view their appraisal accuracy. It would be a good way to distinguish realists from cranks.

  6. Biff!!! Was that you who organized the party? Gosh, had I known, I would have said something. Seriously, Biff, great work on the parties.

    And congrats to Mr. B for all the reasons wasder wrote. Despite the tone that the discussions sometimes take, there is a sense of community and lots and lots of people have gotten (and given) great advice on the forum and benefitted from the site’s collective take on the market, houses and neighborhoods. It’s not all team bear v. team bull.
