One Hundred Thousand Page Views...and Growing

Toot! Toot! At precisely 1:42 pm today, CP hit the 100,000 page view mark. This is an average of 254 page views per day. Not bad if we say so ourselves....not bad for a local blog in existence for two years. We can only hope....but we do take satisfaction in knowing, that in some way, we have helped to educate, inform and activate the citizens of Annapolis....even though we can't even make beer money...Now, if only that added up to a dollar per view it might mean that providing this service were approaching a reasonable way to earn a living..(can you survive in Annapolis on 50K per year w/o benefits?)

Thank you for reading, writing and the other ways in which you have expressed your support.....and your financial contributions are always welcome. You think it's easy to write this stuff? The winter membership campaign on public radio just ended and they begged you for money all day long...day in...day out....we have a goal of such and such and we are counting one you.....I'm just asking this once...at least until the next time I ask for it...If you appreciate what CP does for our community, please open your wallets and purses and send me a donation...or at least pay my mortgage this month...take me out to dinner....a lunch perhaps...maybe breakfast...buy me a cup of coffee...maybe give me some spare change....an atta boy...a pat on the back...a kick in the pants...a slap on the cheek...something...anything...hey is anybody out there???? (I know you're out there...I see it in the stats.....hulloah?.....paul@foerfront.com)

I'll step up to offer a kick in the ass!

Why not put it in your sidebar that you are looking for advertisers with an "advertiser here" sign. And then maybe put one of those handy Paypal "donate here' buttons and you may see something.

If I felt my business would benefit from your readers I would. But if you make it a bit more obvious (other than in your posts) that you seek advertisers, you likely will get a few.

But hey, with comments like getting $1 per page view and paying your mortgage, you ought to go look for an open mic night at the Comedy Cellar!

It's not only about benefitting your business--it's about giving you news, information, analysis, insight...what the @%%@&&# does that have to do with advertising. You have not even bought me a cup of coffee-despite numerous opportunities....assuming this is John Frenaye--from now on, you'll have to identify yourself--just like every other commenter..as far as stepping up to give me a kick in the a--, I hope your foot has healed from the last time...you sending a contribution or what?
