Wow!

I don't often post on the weekends, and I have been spending 18-22 hours a day (not exaggerating there) most days the past couple of weeks working on various projects as well as working-working, but (1) I had some cool news to report, and (2) I had something else unusual and awesome happen yesterday, so here I am!

I noticed the other day this was coming up and meant to keep an eye on it, but then I almost missed it (and actually did, by one click apparently, ha!).

That milestone came about late yesterday (Friday) morning. Rock!

I realize 10,000 page views is small potatoes in the grand scheme of the Internet, but when you consider that I started this site just a little over a year and three months ago with absolutely nothing - no advertising to speak of, and mostly relying on social networks like MyBlogLog and StumbleUpon and begging friends and acquaintances to let me park quietly on their MySpace and Twitter lists - and considering that GPT/PTC/PTR is sort of a small percentage of the Internet anyway, I'm pretty thrilled with 10K hits in that amount of time!

And I have a second "quicklist" site now which is HERE, so I guess you could say I've diversified a bit - even though it's really the same info, just with less yapping from me and more scaled down and mainly just need-to-know info - that one's for the people that don't like to read blogs (like most of my personal friends and acquaintances, heh). I'm going to officially link it here one of these days, I just want to get some more of the sites that are already there posted on here first - as usual, I'm behind!

What's next? Oh, I don't know, more of the same probably. I have a colleague who has been bugging me since Day One about the fact that I own the domain but am not self-hosting it yet (and it's not like I don't know about such things, I've been working as a web admin since 2004) - so maybe one of these days I'll move both sites to a hosted domain, but hey, I've been able to do all this for free and that goes along with the whole money-hunting deal anyway. If you're money-saving while money-hunting, all the better profit-wise! Plus (at least here on this page anyway), I'm sorta testing a suspected theory about Google, as it were.

But really when I started this back last year in April, I just mainly started it just to see what would happen and how things would go with no real major goal other than to share what was working for me (and sometimes not), so as far as I'm concerned 10,000 hits is great. And I've met and gotten to know a lot of terrific people along the way - site owners, other members, other money-related bloggers, all kinds of good folks! In any case, thanks to everybody who's ever stopped by and ever commented, ever subscribed, ever signed up for anything - everything. I'd have been happy with far less than 10K page views by now, but the fact that that many peeps have dropped by is really cool. Thanks. :)
