Brickset has its busiest month ever!

 

  • Brickset has its busiest month ever!

    Posted by Huw, 05 Dec 2011 11:25. Filed under Brickset.

    1 million visits in a monthYesterday was something of a landmark in Brickset's history: it was the first time ever that 1 million visits in a 30 day period were recorded by Quantcast.

    According to the stats, in the thirty days up to and including the 4th December, 373,000 people made 1 million visits and viewed 5 million pages. That's 33,333 visits a day, 1388 visits an hour and 23 visits a minute, and just under 2 page views per second.

    I'm sure the numbers will go higher in the run-up to Christmas, and if the gradients of the graphs are anything to to go by they could go significantly higher. Let's hope so!

I'd like to think I helped - it is my home page!

Congratulations, it is good to be kinda part of it! Because I`m here every day!

Same here.

Go figure, yesterday was the first time in 2 years I didn't get to check the site! *lol* I'm usually on here 5-10 times a day browsing the News and Forums... oh well, can't stop myself from getting sick if I still refuse to swallow Vitamin D pills.

Wahoo! Congrats.

That's great! I'm happy to be part of Brickset.

Just found this site not to long ago, best for lego news!

Congratulations!

@Ypres, try Vitamin L ;-)

Congrats! I know I've been here just about everyday since I discovered the site. It is my go-to site for everything Lego! Keep up the good work! ;)

Posted by Nerd in United States, 05 Dec 2011 14:19

Congratulations!

Now this is the point most would completely sell out the advertising. DON'T YOU DARE... (I'm joking... sort of.)

Posted by dougts in United States, 05 Dec 2011 15:02

apparently all this traffic has crashed the forum however...

;-)

Congrats to the Brickset team! There is a reason for these numbers: Brickset is currently one of the most complete, comprehensive sources for LEGO news and set details. You know, I had no idea that this site existed until I decided I wanted to find instructions for a LEGO Jedi Starfighter...

Again, congrats! Of course, I would be willing to bet that a lot of those views are from my little brother, who loves to look at NinjaGo sets... :P

While all this is great for Brickset, I have one concern: Can the servers cope with all this traffic? :P

Posted by mikeyob in United States, 05 Dec 2011 16:17

congrats

Posted by itsaturkey in United States, 05 Dec 2011 17:20

Wow congrats! It's pretty cool to be part of the BEST Lego site in existence. I know about the deal Brickset has with Lego.com, but I was wondering whether the rush of traffic also gave more money?

Posted by nodnarb162 in United States, 05 Dec 2011 17:26

I agree with everyone above :P I'm glad I found this site, and check it nearly everyday, it always has the latest news on everything and is a great database :) Good job Huw and the Brickset team :P 2 thumps up!

Posted by Juno in United States, 05 Dec 2011 17:52

Wow! I am so glad I'm a part of this site! Congrats!

Posted by glamdring804 in United States, 05 Dec 2011 19:39

This is awesome!
Congrats Huw.

Posted by The 3d Kid in United States, 05 Dec 2011 22:56

I'm here a lot and even got my fiance' signed up!

Posted by PerryMakes in United States, 05 Dec 2011 23:59

Congrats - good sites get lots of traffic :) My boss does not share these sentiments though!

Posted by IAN HULSE in United Kingdom, 06 Dec 2011 05:08

Congratulations Huw, just shows quality does count and you cant get better than brickset.

Posted by Markey in Belgium, 06 Dec 2011 06:09

What a great milestone. I'm not really surprised, this site is one of the best lego sites around.
Congrats Huw and all who are involved.

Posted by scoopi68 in Australia, 06 Dec 2011 06:43

It's not surprising, a great website deserves lots of traffic. Thanks for the great site.

Now if only you had a £/€/$ for each of those hits...

Posted by absolutelylez in United Kingdom, 06 Dec 2011 15:03

Very happy for you, I check it at least once a day :) A great, complete, up-to-date and very useful resource!
