Countdown

This post will remain on top until we click over.


Site
Meter


I’ll be busy in a seminar today, but this page may reveal the lucky 10 millionth visitor, if someone out there is quick enough to catch it. My guess is that we’ll click over around midday on Tuesday.
Update: As I explained, I wasn’t able to monitor the site during the big Sitemeter click-over due to other commitments. According to some of you, the 10 millionth visit came from Charlotte, North Carolina. Unless someone caught a screenshot of that visitor’s details, their identity will always be a mystery. But it was fun to watch the symbolic* number fall, nonetheless.
Thanks to everyone for your kind comments, and to the guest bloggers and commentors who help enrichen the content here. SDA has evolved into a bit of a monster, and it would be extremely difficult to manage it without the generousity of those who volunteer their time and their suggestions.
(*I say symbolic, because Sitemeter only captures a percentage of the traffic. The actual server stats register a few thousand visits more each day that don’t show up on the public counter.)

  1. Whoopee!
    One voice can make a difference. One voice added to 10,000,000 voices can make a HUGE difference.

  3. One voice is a whisper…
    10 million voices is a roar.
    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!
    Thanks for being here Kate.

  4. Would have been funny if Wornout Kantsellit would have tagged the 10.000.000 th hit. He will never have to worry about it on his blog.

  5. Way to Go Kate, Another milestone reached in one of the Best Blogs going. You should be very proud as we are of you.

  6. And she was in Ontario when it happened!
    Kate, I’m waving at you from across the lake, thanks for all your hard work and thanks to all the regular posters.

  7. Rob C: WK always says that the traffic at SDA is mainly the same old hard core few who return over and over and over again apparently about 10 million times. He forgot to throw in his own 10,000 little peaks. lol Thanks for the memories Kate and here’s to 10 mil more.

  8. Congratulations Kate. I for one have enjoyed your view on the world. Have enjoyed reading the comments and participating in conversations with the commentators. Three years ago I heard about your site when you did an interview on the radio. At that time I did not even know about the blogsphere. Thanks again Kate. Thanks to all the commenter’s here that have commented and provided links and opinions.

  9. Congratulations, Kate. Outstanding. By reassuring me I’m not alone this site has given me the courage to speak out at work and at play, with some gratifying results. The stranglehold of the msm is broken. Viva la revolucion!

  10. Kate you have acheived many milestones over the years but this is one of the best. I can’t comprehend how much blood sweat and tears that went into this site over the years but I am sure I speak for a lot of people when I say Thank you. Well done. Also thanks to Vit, he is one interesting and sometimes freaky dude. Also Lance for stepping in. My word something that WORKS!!!

  11. Brava, Kate!!
    Honestly, you’ve saved the sanity of a whole lot of us here. Without SDA, we’d be whistling in the wind and going nuts, instead of speaking our minds, sharing information, being the disloyal opposition of the MSM and all its Orc-like cohorts, and making a difference to the public life of our benighted dominion. What a magnificent achievement!
    Well done, and many, many thanks, Kate.

  12. Congratulations Kate!
    Kate’s First Post
    The first post I could find for this site is February 18, 2004. In ~4.5 years you got 10 million visitors. I assume you set up site meter when you made this blog. The next milestone will be 100 million visitors. Buy my calculations, if you grow your visitors by 5.5% per month, the 100 million visitor will be here in 4.5 years!

  13. Congrats Kate!
    10,000,000 hits, Conservatives in power, majority looming.
    You were no small part of this success.
    We all owe you a debt of gratitude.
    Now if all visitors so far would just send 10 cents…..

  14. moslem women not blog not respectful

    iwrin happi?

  15. A belated congrats and thank you, Kate.
    Before sda, I really felt like I was living in a Proustian cork-lined room, so alienated did I feel with my unorthodox conservative-libertarian views. I knew NO conservatives except for my business partner and certainly no women conservatives. I came here thru a Steyn mention, and when I saw your reference to talking back to the radio I knew I found a island of sanity.
    And what a community you’ve created here, where I feel humbled by the great number of very smart folks who regularly post here.

  16. Yes, MND, and, as usual, I agree with you: thanks to Kate for providing the fertile ground for the strong community that’s blossomed here.

  17. A big Bravo Zulu to you Kate. In 4.5 short years,you have let us know that not everybody in Canuckistan has their butt stuck up their rear-end.

  18. Kate:
    In my mind, you are a national treasure (and pretty hot to boot).
    Over the last couple of years, I have had the pleasure of topping up your `tip jar`because I believe that no-one can get the message out as well as you.
    The traffic stats clearly demonstrate that. Rest assured you will have my personal and financial support in the future.

  19. Darn. To think that I was in meetings all day and I missed it. Congratulations Kate!!!!
    Anybody seen any coverage of this elsewhere in the blogosphere?

  20. Congrats Kate! Stumbled over here from the Shotgun back in early spring 04 I believe, before the first Martin minority.
    By the way, your archives are from Feb 04 onward and there is a lone 2003 archive for the month of May. The url opens up to display your stalker’s band SFH webpage with a subliminal message.
