Total Motorcycle and 3,000,000,000 hits Reached

(updated)

On March 9th, 2011; Total Motorcycle past the 3,000,000,000 (that's 3 Billion) hits mark. Very, very few internet sites have ever done this and I would think even less non-commercially owned, personal sites have done this as well*.


It is with great pride and happiness that I am a part of this success today we call Total Motorcycle, but I'm always quick to add "It isn't just me who makes Total Motorcycle so great, it's you guys as well, the visitors, the members, the supporters...". If it wasn't for you, the internet wouldn't have a great friendly and useful resource like Total Motorcycle for the past 11 years, so I'm enternally thankful for helping so many tens of millions of riders out throughout the world by being a part of Total Motorcycle like I am.

Also around summer time (if traffic is good) we will pass 100,000,000 unique visitors and before the year is up serve over 1,000,000,000 pages.

So a big thank you for helping reach so many people, for making a positive difference in a world that needs it and for changing the lives of millions, even just a little bit, for the better.

3 Billion, here we are!!

Mike

Some fun and weird 3 Billion facts:

3,000,000,000 is the population of the world in 1960.

There are currently 3,000,000,000 people under twenty five on this planet right now.

3 Billion spam messages per day are sent out (not 1 by TMW).

Apple today announced that users have now downloaded over three billion iPhone and iPod touch applications from the company's App Store.

3 Billion movies have been realeased at the end of 2010.

There are a little over 3 Billion Mobile Phones In Use

Americans Spend 3 Billion Dollars on Homeopathy per year (that's stressful to know)

Homeless billionaire (Nicolas Berggruen) gives away his 3-billion-dollar fortune to charity.

This is a cool graphic, I'd love to do that myself for TMW:

That is along the lines that I was thinking... or else failing that to have the wheels as 0's....

If I could get enough people to submit photos of them on their bikes I can photoshop it all up.

Congratulations Mike, that's fantastic news - though hardly surprising to those of us who love the site.

Still hard to believe all the magic comes from this one little PC in one little office... So this is where the magic happens, eh?
