After the whole MillionDollarHomePage fever started by Alex Tew, now we have something called paid cloud tags. Interesting idea indeed. Wonder if I should get in the whole thing and make some dough from it…. Check out 1000tag.com now and get a free tag too.
So that’s the news. 1000tags.com launched on January 9th, 2006, and started to get some traffic about 12 hours later, although it wasn’t until 24 hours after launch that visits started to pour.
And today – 7 days ever since the site started to receive visitors – 1000Tags.com has reached the 100,000 visitors mark. Not 100,000 hits, not 100,000 pages, but 100,000 different IPs (unique visitors +). That excludes people who connect through proxies or people who use a dynamic IP already used by someone else, but since 1000tags.com doesn’t leave a cookie (and we’re ok with that), we’re not tracking real unique visitors. So technically, we’ve got more than that.
Now, we run other web sites that get a lot of visitors, have a lot of registered users, etc. No, they are nothing like 1000tags at all, but I mention it because to talk about 100,000 visitors in a week is not something that makes us go WOOOW.
However, considering the nature of this site, with one very simple mission and nothing else to offer than just booking tags for web sites and redirecting visitors who click on those tags to the corresponding sites, it really is impressive to see than in just one week over 100,000 souls have come by to check our page. Even more interesting is that a bit more than 90% have actually clicked on at least one tag. That’s huge! And here we’re taking into account the fact that some people who first arrived at the site and clicked on one or more tags, have returned perhaps to see how things are going, using a different IP.
