10,000 visitors!

Yesterday, Mining Mayhem passed through a big milestone, so I thought I'd make a post to celebrate. Mining Mayhem has now had 10,000 visits.

When I first started Mining Mayhem, I had a long-term goal of 10,000 visitors per year. It's taken 18 months to reach the first 10,000 visitors, but only 9 months for the last 9000 visitors. The site has been a lot more successful that I've expected. I'm glad that so many people have enjoyed the site, and come back and read the site regularly.

I'd like to thank those who've sent in pictures, particularly Owen and Jerry.

I'd like to give a big thanks to those who've linked to the page. You guys are responsible for the big rise in traffic since the start of the year. So thank you to Bob Cornett, and to the people who linked to us from photostp.free.fr, buybigtires.com, and stripmine.org. And thanks to those who have passed along Mining Mayhem through word-of-mouth.
