This month is a milestone of sorts: Its the first time we have passed a million page views in a given month:
Gee, maybe traffic is not based on youporn . . .

Congrats
Ps. I expect 4,716 thank yous. Or a ride on that aquaman supercar.
wish I could buy stock on the TBP….wink wink…..
Congrats, Barry. You deserve it.
Congrats. You’ve worked your butt off to earn it. Keep up the outstanding work!
I’m sorry, I’ll quit hitting refresh….but you write so well I can’t help myself.

A million a month??
It’s really time somebody starts advertising on your site…
Sorry for the triple post, but there there is a noticeable correlation between visits to your site and market corrections. It would be interesting to see a daily breakdown of site visits vs. VIX.
Barry, article in Boston Globe on credit card companies wooing subprime mortgagers…

I think this confirms some of your earlier thoughts.
Congratulations with August. You have acquired at least one new regular reader since then. Me.

Congratulations, well deserved.
Add this to the oxymoron list:
“risk arbitrage”

Dr. Brett (traderfeed.blogspot.com) observed the same correlation with his blog. It makes sense we would be hungrier for direction in times of market stress.
For a financial blog that is a remarkable number of views … particularly for a site that doesn’t dumb down the info.
Nobody goes to TBP anymore…it’s too crowded.
What do you attribute to having resulted in the Aug 07 spike?
It could have been higher but I use google reader. I bet a high number of hits are search related. Right Barry?
Keep them coming.
Way to go Barry! Great job.
Congratulations on the success! I love this blog. I’ve learned so much from you.
Pretty funny, The Oil Drum just made the “we just passed a million page views last month” too:

Clearly this indicates that Barry contrived this market correction as a means of increasing his adwords revenue.
That is great news. You have worked hard to reach the million mark. Your raw and unvarnished writing is going to pay dividends in the long run.
Maybe you could write a finance or investment column for Rolling Stone. You cover the subject matter in a way that is hip, accessible, and keeps readers coming back for more.
Best Wishes.
There’s a simple explanation, everyone.
It’s called “The flight to quality.”
Congrats Barry –

congrats and i hope you will continue the quality work….really well deserved. BTW your blog is not ultra bearish (doom and gloom kind)
so far i have not been able to find a financial blog which supports bullish sentiments.
Looks like you’ve got a nice “in-house” market sentiment indicator…
I bet traffic peaked @ 8/16-17. Just a guess.
Thanks for your work!
Well deserved. Someone outside of the fray of Wall Street’s blabbering boobs.
Wow! Congrats, Barry. You absolutely deserve it!!! I’ve learned so much from this website.

I want a Barry Ritholtz lunchbox!
Nice work, Barry!
Don’t jump the shark now… ;)
I’m glad I was part of the Million Post March.
This is very good news Barry!
Keep up the outstanding work.
You gotta a lot of fans out there. :-)

Congrats, and well deserved, Barry.
It’s nice more people are getting good info.
Congrats Barry!
That’s one hell of an accomplishment. Congrats Barry!
Thats not to impresive you know. your avg page view per visit is 1.2 thats awful. Based on the amount of visits you should be clearing at least 10mil. You really should think about some drastic measure, to be online for so long and generate 1mil pageviews, and to even put it up on ur HP is ridiculous, u have never doen internet before have you ?
