Website owners used to call them “hits”
Today, we’ve become sophisticated. We call them “pageviews.”
EnerCom launched Oil & Gas 360® – www.OilandGas360.com – in 2010. In the beginning, the numbers were bleak:
- Thursday, Jan. 14, 2010, pageviews = 0. The site was live, barely.
- Then, at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 15, 2010, there was a spike of visitors. Pageviews jumped by 900%. From zero to nine pageviews in one day. Cause for celebration.
But web hits, like fame, can be short lived. By 7:00 p.m. that night Oil & Gas 360® was back to zero pageviews.
In January we’ll celebrate the website’s sixth birthday, and after a crawl off the starting line, we’re now in an all-out sprint. Here are a few milestones:
- For our first month, Jan. 2010, we had a grand total of 1,150 pageviews
- At the end of our first six months, we had 12,400 pageviews
- By the end of our first year, we had experienced 28,800 pageviews
- By the end of 2011, we had accumulated 77,600 pageviews
- By the end of 2012, the site had 180,400 pageviews
- By the end of 2013, we were up to a cumulative total of 323,800 pageviews
- At the end of 2014 total pageviews were 640,700
- On June 21, 2015, Oil & Gas 360® achieved 1,000,000 pageviews
- On Nov. 25, 2015, Oil & Gas 360® achieved its 1,500,000th pageview
