500,000

I noticed Texas Business had 500,000 visitors (or readers) during the last 12 months.
That’s equal to the population of Bologna, Italy. Or Fukuyama, Japan. Or Suez, Egypt. Or Toledo, Ohio.
Apple approved its 500,000th app last May 11. Stanford professor Sebastian Thrun hopes to teach 500,000 students online at once. Foursquare hit 500,000 lists about two weeks ago. About 500,000 Swedes risk criminal prosecution for illegal file downloading.
Don't confuse the 500,000 visitors with hits. Texas Business had 6.3 million hits during the same time period.
Thanks. Thanks for your interest. That’s a daily average of almost 1,370. And a year ago, Texas Business didn’t have any traffic to brag about.
How the economic landscape has changed in the last 12 months.
We wish you prosperity. Thanks again. |
