OneBillionPageViews.com - Thank You

Feedback 

I have had a few e-mails saying that the site looks funny in firefox… I use firefox myself and it looks fine to me…

I had one e-mail saying why have you now added adverts to the site, your trying to make money from it, lol, I added adverts a long time ago when I first started the website, you can see my blog post about that here and here, it pays for the hosting etc… without adverts, there is no way I could even think about continuing the website, to get one billion people on a site is not a joke, its going to cost a fortune! Even the man that walked round the world had a sponsor… anyone trying to do something extraordinary without costing them needs a sponsor and we are lucky to have one!

The main reason for the change is that I needed space on the website to add new content, the size was limited, I wanted to added the blog posts on the front page so people can read it without having to click the blog, the site actually is exactly the same as before as far as the content goes, nothing has changed, the main changes are the look and size of it.

Thank You

Thank you for your continuing support, I really do appreciate it, this is the type of project that cannot be done alone, its a test of many people getting together and accomplishing something as a unit, its impossible to do this alone, I will never take credit for doing this, its down to the effort of all the websites linking in to us, all the press & all the people supporting it!

Some people choose to climb a mountain, some to walk around the world, this is very unique and is ideal for the 21st century, its a goal that can be achieved with a huge amount of dedicated & long term support… its when people forget about the website, that I will need your support the most, its like climbing a mountain, the first few days is fine, but it gets harder and harder as you go… I know it can be done… its just a matter of time…!

OneBillionPageViews.com - The New Site

February 21st, 2006

When I first started the website, I made a very simple design just to get the site up and running, the demand is now so huge, it needed to change… I was also running out of room for new content etc…

I have now made a new design for the website! Hope you like it! It will allow me to add more content, it also keeps you more upto date with blog posts on the front page etc…. the counter is now on the top and is the first thing you see!

Please feel free to grab screen shots for the guestbook…

Its 4am and I have only just finished, I got work tomorrow so Im going to catch some sleep, nite!

Check this out:

They say a picture can say a thousand words… this one definitely does!!

Our today rank on Alexa puts this website in the top 6000 of all websites on the internet!!!

OneBillionPageViews.com - Highest Peak To Date

February 19th, 2006
Alexa have just done a update and we are at our highest peak to date!! Our today rank is 12,463 and this weeks average is 19,906, Alexa is slowly but surely pushing our 3 months average down making our site currently 82,708th in the world!

Once the site has been online over 3 months, I predict our Alexa rank to be about 12,000!

OneBillionPageViews.com - 250,000!!

February 18th, 2006
Today marks the first month anniversary of the website and we are on target, we hit 250,000 yesterday and I’m over the moon about it… Thanks to Richard for grabbing the screenshot and posting it on the guestbook!

We have had a lot of support from the websites that link us, thank you for that, its important to add the site to your link pages aswell, I appreciate you posting it on your latest news etc but please add it to your link pages aswell, this will keep consistant traffic coming to us & going back to your site after the news has gone off the front page! Please add our link to your website & link page now, please also add your site to our links page so full credit is given!

It took just 30 days to get from zero to 250,000, I’m sure any webmaster out there will know that is a outstanding effort, now I want to start to get consistant daily traffic to the website, its important to keep those daily figures high, my ultimate goal is to get one million a day plus, once I’m on that, im content that it will take 1000 days to complete the task!

I have also now decided to give the £1000 to charity when I win it as a special thank you! I haven’t chosen the charity yet but will announce it when I do.

Once again, thanks for all the support… I will prove it soon to all those hundreds of e-mails I get everyday telling me this can’t be done that this can be done & will be done!

OneBillionPageViews.com - Thanks Again Dave!

February 16th, 2006

Have to say, Dave over at Dave’s Daily has shown a outstanding amount of support, he has now added us to his classifieds section which normally would cost $60 per week completely FREE OF CHARGE! The link is a static link and is now shown on over 800 pages on Dave’s Daily and should help contribute towards the BIG BILLION!

Thanks for the support Dave…

…and thank you all that are supporting, you make this what it is… this is a team effort & is impossible to do alone!

OneBillionPageViews.com - 200,000…

February 13th, 2006

The goal I had in my mind when I first launched this website was 250,000 in the first month! The site is now 5 days from the first month and it stands at 200,000, I think there is a very good chance we can hit this goal… I’m looking forward to this Sunday the 18th, the sites first official month!

OneBillionPageViews.com - The Backround

February 13th, 2006

From now on, every Monday (will try to), I will be changing the background image of the website!! Keeping it interesting… do give me a shout with ideas for images on the comments page… I will probably keep them computer related but may add images from time to time that are related to current world news affaires etc…

An image can say a thousand words…!

I think its a nice add-on to the website! Still keeping it simple… but interesting….

Oh by the way, I will keep the background image on the contact page the same all the way!! Just so you know what I look like!

…anyway, this weeks image is a heart made by hands, obviously its valentines week… something nice I thought!

The Top Spot

After long last… i-am-board.com have just been taken off the top referrer spot by brainblog.de! Thank you to the guys down at brainblog.de for supporting the website!! The Top Spot is very sought after at the moment as it goes on the front page and is featured on screen shot’s worldwide!!

OneBillionPageViews.com - Zero To Hero?

February 13th, 2006

Sponsored Links 

It’s a very simple & FREE process to get your link on our links page, simply add your link to our database & add our link to your site! Simple as that… the more hits we get from your site, the higher your link goes, you might even make the top 6 or maybe even the number one spot which is also featured on the front page!

However I still get tons of e-mails asking me to buy a link on the links page because some sites are unable to link back or send enough traffic back! I thought this would be a good way of contributing towards hosting costs etc and have now added a Sponsored Links area on the links page! I have set the cost per link to a mere $1 per day, please note, AdBrite may increase the price according to the value of the page so grab the links while you can, click here for more details. This is a great way of getting guaranteed one way traffic back to your site! The maximum number of sponsored  links displayed is currently is 3.

I have also added sponsored links to the blog! The 2nd most viewed page on the website! Click here for more info on adding your link to the blog!

Myspace

Many people have e-mailed me saying it would be a good idea to create a myspace.com page etc… this should help alot, myspace has over 40 million members and as we become more popular on there aswell… it will contribute towards the big billion!

So I have now created a official onebillionpageviews.com myspace page!

Our myspace page is: http://www.myspace.com/onebillionpageviews

CLICK HERE TO ADD IT TO YOUR FRIENDS LIST

I have only just created it so its a bit plain but i will spruce it up soon!

on another note….

lol at this e-mail I just got, just had to post it:

Hey - good luck with the site. Nice idea. Would make your site one of the most viewed sites ever if you were to do it. However i doubt whether you managed to build a site from o to 200,000 visitors within a week without spending money on marketing…..that simply cant be done. Believe me…i know.

Anyways - good idea and good luck

It’s funny how people seem to doubt their own ability to do this, i’m not a superhero, it’s a matter of self belief & doing it, it takes dedicated, planning and most importantly, action!! most people do the rest but never action it… its now 12am at night on a Sunday & I still haven’t finished e-mailing people, press etc….

OneBillionPageViews.com - The Next Goal

February 10th, 2006

After the BIG 100,000, the next main goal is 250,000, we’re only 80,000 away now… on the 5th of Feb 2006, we were at 30,000 and its only the 10th now… so i have no doubt we will reach it soon!

Now that i’m over my food poisoning, I can start talking to press again next week!!

OneBillionPageViews.com - Tiscali News

February 10th, 2006

The Dutch division of Tiscali have included us in their news!

http://www.tiscali.nl/content/article/cmu1tsurf/395269.htm

I had alot of early criticism saying that non-english speaking people would support the site, a huge company like Tiscali supporting the site means alot to us…

Thank You…
