A Million Hits Later

As of this morning, this blog has reached 1,091,094 hits for the month of June. That’s from 36,182 unique visitors contributing over 263,070 pageviews.

A sizable amount of those came from people downloading Hello Garci ringtones and the complete Arroyo-Garcilliano recordings. A total of 170,634 ring tones have been downloaded from this blog alone, and if TxtPower.org included my stats in their Inq7.net interview (350,000 downloads), that’s almost 50% of the vast majority of downloads.

A rough estimate of the total number ring tones sent over MMS is about 175. Had I not asked for a small contribution to cover sending of MMS, it could have wiped out 2 or 3 Smart buddy pre-paid cards in just 2 days. And had it been free, the numbers would have gone ten-folds and I’d end up with a big hole in my pocket. :D

Total bandwidth used was 365 GB.

On a side note, KaWebSpy has been frantically searching for other ad revenue sources I am using for my blog. Just to point him to the right directions, my Amazon Associate ads can be found here (only selected posts), my Xoom Affiliate text ads can be found on all individual pages just below the comment box, and of course my dual-stream AdSense & Clicksor text ads on all pages (AdSense seems to dominate the Clicksor ads due to obvious reasons that Google ads are far greater in number than Clicksor).

1M 365GB whoa!
Be careful of your adsense clicks, unscrupolous persons might get your adsense account in trouble. Lalo na sa mga naghahanap ng “BUTAS”.

Anyway more power to yugatech, ploghost, pinoyblog and to you kuya abe!

abe, pano ka babayaran ng clicksor? ok naman siguro na idisplay ko sya with adsense di ba? no mention of paypal with registration, so im assuming pwede ako dito. thanks.
