The last million hits at the site came in less than three months. November is already a record month in that regard at GTP, with a day and a half to go. It’s getting well over fifteen thousand hits a day now. Wow.
And that’s without nudity or a football program in disarray.
Thanks for coming, folks.
Very impressive Senator, congrats. I was noticing the count-meter on Sunday and knew if you baited that playoff trap one more time you would hit 9MM soon. Thanks for all the effort and quality time you put into this.

This is by far my favorite Georgia site, and it’s the first place I click when I want to read about the ‘Dawgs. The fact that it’s run by an “amateur” really puts the pay sites to shame.
I can take credit for a lot of those 15K daily clicks. My only complaint is that I’m greedy and I always want more posts!

Thanks for using mi lingua, Senator. But these congratulatory articles are soporific. I’ve looked all over to blast someone who is down on the Dawgs, but noooohh…….you have all these sycophants droodling(new word) all over themselves to stroke your ego. This is sickening. I’m just gonna take my Fing Scooter for a ride with it’s new gtp license plate. It does owe it’s existence to you.
Does anyone keep records of home-cooked blog sites like yours? Bet no one comes near in this classsy environment that’s so much fun. Thanks for the informative forums and thought provoking football subjects. Looks like you struck the golden vein that runs through Dawg hearts. You get some great bloggers on here and they are unashamedly fanatical in their support. Continued good luck.
