About a week before our third anniversary (August 12), Blogcritics.org — our little "sinister cabal of superior bloggers on music, books, film, popular culture, technology, and politics" — has hit the 10 million unique visitors mark. This is a nice big fat round number that speaks volumes toward the talents and dedication of our writers, editors, commenters, and most of all, the 10 million readers who have spent some of their valuable time with us since August of 2002.…

Congratulations, Eric - it's been an honor and fun experience being part of the site - I'm currently staying away to avoid seeing the Harry Potter spoilers till I finish the book.
Kudos to Dawn for sparing so much of your time and putting with all the stress you definitely go through:)
Congratulations to Philip, Temple, the editors and all blogcritics,as well as the readers.

I'm going to redouble my efforts to promote BCs to my friends and aquaintances. I've had the home page as part of my signature block for about a year now, but I will post an article on my blog.
It would be really cool Rolling Stone, and other established media could pick up on this story. Or even Amazon.com. Presumably, we send a lot of traffic their way. Is anything being done to promote our success to other media establishments? Can something be done? I think we have a lot of potential volunteers standing by to help.
Congrats again to Eric, Philip, Temple, Aaman all the other editors and all the writers, both regulars and not so regulars. We're onto to something GREAT here!!

10,000,000. It is a BIG number! Congratulations. It is great to get where you wanted to go. It is not always the way it happens.
I hope you enjoy the next challenges at least as much. And the next set of awards and recognition.
Hopefully, I helped a little these past months.

I put a 10million picture post on my wordy blog rather than my photoblog. It seemed apt.

It is, far from the cliché, the beginning of the rainbow; not the end.

Absolutely amazing. And you did that before the Christians came to seek and destroy. Congratulations to all who were there from the start. The quality of discourse is excellent, and I enjoy every bit of it.

Impressive. I go away for a few weeks and BAM! BC hits a milestone.

nice one, fellow BCers. Not to mention the readers, and the commenters-who-aren't-article-posters

thanks so much guys, and SP, you are so right about Dawn: her tolerance, support, vision and willingness to go for years without much income from me has made my involvement possible!

August Fourth was my 34th b-day, the day this was posted. And I just reminded myself at my own blog - archives ya know - that I created that little 10 million served graphic up at the top.
Trafifc is at about 15.7 million today, not yet four months later.
