WOW! Thank you everyone for your readership, friendship, shared knowledge and insight over the years. Because of all of you, Spam Resource has just reached 5 million views, according to my blog stats! (5,004,695 as of the evening of Friday, June 13th.)
Spam Resource launched in 2001, initially self-hosted with hand-edited HTML files. In 2006, I moved everything to Google's Blogger platform, where this thing has been hosted since. Blogger, incidentally, did not implement its own view tracking until mid-2010. Thus, 5 million views since, basically, at some point in 2010.
This is a very arbitrary point at which to celebrate a milestone -- 5 million views from mid-2010 through today, but hey, I'll take it. It's like watching the numbers roll over on a car's odometer. And I've really put some miles on this blog over the years. I plan to keep it up as long as it remains fun for me and useful for you. And I hope you'll keep reading, as my blog continues to evolve.
Deliverability wasn't even a coined term when this blog started (that term came along in 2003), so it would have been hard to imagine back then what all this has led to today. But here we are. Thank you to those reading today, and to those who have kept up for some or all of the time along the way, and to those who stumble across the blog tomorrow, searching for help to figure out why Gmail's delaying their mail.
I appreciate each and every one of you.
Looking for a way to say thank you? You could always subscribe to my email newsletter. It's free and awesome. (And an easy way to keep up with the blog.) And feel free to visit my wife's bookstore if you're ever here in Chicago.
