I know it's an arbitrary number, but it still looks cool:
(Apparently, the 1000000th and the 1000001st visitors arrived simultaneously). Back when I just started I never thought this was even possible.
The millionth visitor came here from Oakland, California, entered the site at this post, and made 17 pageviews in 6 minutes 4 seconds.
YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

Wow; that is so cool. I can't decide if you should give 1,000,000 (and of course 1,000,001) a prize or if we should all give you one.

Congrats, dude!! You've got a huge massive swinging blog dick!!! Try not to smack any of us pikers in the head with it.

who was the millionth visitor? Did they win a Lexus?

I could not ID. I don't think it is a regular reader. Probably came in via search.

Thank you all. Still, even if I add the traffic on my old three blogs (adding up, right now, to 571,750), I still cannot beat Shakesville which hit four million yesterday.
