This is an Official Announcement

Yesterday was the biggest day ever on my two Acoustic Guitar Blogs, between them 1000 visitors

acousticguitarist.wordpress.com

the-guitarplayer

While I was sleeping my stats on acoustic guitarist blog hit 100,000

My other Blog will reach that in a week or so

This is quite phenomenal, I will take a bow for reaching this personal achievement



I'm now going to start to drive a lot more traffic with the strategies I have been holding back on

I'm looking at a million vistors this year

    congratulations
  2. siralmo
    it is defenately well deserved
    1. acousticguitarist
      Thanks Almo, yes and I didn't have to sell my soul, however do you reckon I'd get a good price for it?
    2. siralmo
      i think you would but then i don't think you could capitalise on it, have you tried adds??? if you could get adds associated with guitars and music i think you could get quite a bit of money with out selling
    3. acousticguitarist
      I have a plan
  3. BennyGreenberg
    good going Guitarman!
    1. acousticguitarist
      Thanks

      Benny, can some of your fans come to my blog, or is it more of a cult and you deny the pleasures found at other blogs to you fan club members?
    2. BennyGreenberg
      I am all about sharing man!
      My fan club is your fan club!
    3. acousticguitarist
      I'm tempted to say "Thanks for sharing" but it's too new age

  9. davidrosen
    That is awesome. I just started mine at www.creatingitchy.com and I am getting maybe 20 a day. I am in awe of your accomplishment. I hope to get there too.
    1. acousticguitarist
      Good luck with it, mine started with 2 visits and just increased, I think it's because I know my content subject so well.

      Also I teach Web Development for a living, this helps
    1. acousticguitarist
      Yes I am a dude = male :-)

    Congratulations! My blog will reach that same milestone on the next February 30th.

    By the way, am I the only one who sees the Adam Arkin resemblance?




    1. acousticguitarist
      no, I'm better looking
  13. sensico
    seriously, is that a real picture of you, cause it seems to go well with your avatar for some reason...seriously.

    and LOL @ Friday's picture
    1. acousticguitarist
      but my avatar is a panda, I don't have fur and little pointy ears, that's me
    2. acousticguitarist
      yes and that's my jazz guitar
    3. sensico
      I dont know, you bear a slight resemblance to your avatar...just sayin'
    4. acousticguitarist
      that is such a funny thought
  14. drjay1966
    Hate to burst yer bubble, dude, but I've visited your site 99,999 times (each time from a different computer).
    1. sensico
      LMAO....why are you so funny all of the sudden
    2. acousticguitarist
      That shows you how good it is. Thanks Dr

      drjay has one of the best non acoustic guitar blogs and he understands quality
  15. RecycleCindy
    Wow that's fantastic and so happy for you! Best wishes on the next 100K.
    1. acousticguitarist
      thanks Cindy
  16. roentarre
    Wow, that is amazing traffic and congradulation!
  17. ophase
    Before i opened this thread, I thought i could be the 100,000th visitor and earn some gifts, you know
    Congradualations anyway, what did you give the 100,000th visitor??
    1. acousticguitarist
      I don't know who they were, I was asleep

      But everything on my blog is free. I write TAB and notation for people to develop their guitar skills. In fact, people should give me something.
  18. TheBlackCritic
    Good job. Congrats.
    1. acousticguitarist
      thanks, and not one post is even funny

      I saw your post, I'll be about 3 days getting through it. But I rated what I read
  19. arjunu
    congrats tony
    1. acousticguitarist
      Thanks Arj

      By the way, is your penguin wearing a hat?
  20. roadgurl5
    Congrats, AG, on that excellent achievement! :o)
    1. acousticguitarist
      Thanks Roadie

      Now I think it's time to get serious with my work, I've been pretty casual. It shows how much potential there is. I know I haven't even scraped the surface yet.
  21. justsaver
    Grats. How long did it take for you to get there?
    1. acousticguitarist
      thanks, about 15 months

      About 6 months ago it started to increase, my biggest day at both Acoustic Guitar blogs was yesterday
    1. acousticguitarist
      Does that mean good?
    2. MadMadMargo
      Absolutely! Positively! Congratulations!
    3. acousticguitarist
      Could you tell me when would be the best time to use Bitchin', what expression to use and where in the word emphasis should be. Is there a particular outfit I should dress in for the occasion and where my hands should be and is there a certain stance. Could you supply a picture that would give me a deeper understanding? thanks :-)
    4. MadMadMargo
      Bitchin' is southern California surfer talk. The best time to use this word is when you are extremely excitement or want to express approval. For example: "Grab your board, man, the Tsunami is creating monster waves." You would reply, "bitchin'!". I would suggest wearing a wet suit, swim trunks or other beach attire for authenticity. The hand thing - really doesn't apply unless you want to give the "hang ten" sign. I hope this explains things for you.
  22. Mizdemeanor
    Congratulations Tony... your blog is just like... my kind steak.. well done.. not rare... but still awesome.
    1. acousticguitarist
      Thanks... I'm a vegetarian
  23. dune
    Well, you deserve it Tony. I wish you get that 1 million target. Reasonable happy huh?
    1. acousticguitarist
      thanks

      yep reasonably happy
  24. kellybax
    Now that you have achieved this fine success, you ready to go off in that spaceship yet?
    1. acousticguitarist
      no, I'll have to get some funds from the visitors
    2. kellybax
      I was going to foot the bill but if you want to fund it instead.....
    3. acousticguitarist
      well I'll pay my half
  25. Streetmusician
    Man, that's incredible Tony... I've been going a few months now and I'm only on 100 visitors a day.
    I've been doing really long posts that take me days to sort out... but when I've got a few more things out of the way, I can concentrate on more regular quick posts.
    I haven't even got round to posting guitar lessons yet...it's all coming though.

    Congratulations. Your success give us all inspiration.
    1. acousticguitarist
      Thanks Kier

      Mine just took off from 100 a day and escalated

      Good luck with your stuff. Will email you soon.

      Tony
  26. inbusiness
    Well done mate - keep up the good work and strum a few notes to celebrate!
    1. acousticguitarist
      Said with an accent "Gee Thanks Mate"
    2. inbusiness
      No worries mate (also said with an accent)
    3. acousticguitarist
      Funny thing is, I don't have a really strong Australian accent.

      She's right cobber
  27. fearless21

    1. acousticguitarist
      Wow, this post is back...thanks

      I'll be posting about it soon, and the other blog which gas also hit about the same number. I'm putting together some strategies in various formats

      Regards Tony...

      It could be because I am a red panda and very fluffy and sociable
  29. darren1985
    Hey my friend, congrats! Keep up the great work on your blog! You little red panda. :-) Just like the Sifu from Kungfu Panda. :-D
    1. acousticguitarist
      No, no Red panda

    "strategies I have been holding back on"

    1. acousticguitarist
      No, they are worth too much money. Serious

      :-)
  31. guitarhunter
    congratulations, can't wait to get there myself
    1. acousticguitarist
      thanks, what 40 years of playing or 100,000 visitors? :-)
    2. acousticguitarist
      Playing for 40 years also brings with it a few other side effects, however I don't have wrinkles which is a very good thing :-)
    3. guitarhunter
      Arthritis is already starting to impact my playing.
    4. acousticguitarist
      Try accupuncture and chinse herbs, the worse the taste, the better they are
  32. womanofwisdom
