In 2015 the Not Buying Anything blog surpassed the one million page view mark. It was 7 years after our inception. In no way could this be described as viral, but it is not insignificant.
We like to think that we have made at least a small impact with our work promoting ecologically sensitive lifestyle choices, and living in joyful, fulfilling simplicity.
Now, 3 years later, we have just recently passed the two million mark. This means something to us, and I assure you it has nothing to do with "monetizing" our site. At no point would that be conceivable, considering our anti-commerce approach to life.
We prefer mutual aid to money.
I like to check our numbers occasionally to see what is happening with our audience. It is also nice to see that our stats put us in the small to medium size category. Small is beautiful after all.
Still, it is good to have goals, and our next blog goal is to get the next million page views in a year and a half.
Thank you for visiting, and helping to make the NBA blog a place of learning, support, and refuge for Linda and me (and many others) since 2008.
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That's really impressive! :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! And thanks for being anti-commerce. It's a good place to learn about many options for living a more simple life. I love the community here! It's an open-minded community where all are accepted and encouraged no matter where they are on the simple living path. And no one is selling anything to fix your life. People here just share their experiences and lifestyles. Thank you Gregg and Linda!

ReplyDeleteFirst a blog, then a movement. We are doing this thing - it gives me hope to know we are not alone in our gentle approach to living on this Earth.
Yes, congratulations to both of you, Gregg and Linda! And refuge is the spot on word, this site is a refuge for me from the chaos of our culture of consumerism. When I need sanity I come here, so thanks for being here! Nancy
ReplyDeleteNancy,

ReplyDeleteElizabeth,
DeleteWe love new readers/visitors/viewers/community members/commenters. Welcome.
Congratulations - but, of course, this is probably one of the top 5 blogs out there and you know how many blogs there are! This is also the #1 blog anyone can log onto on any given day and feel the power of your positive attitude and love of life. I've never read a post that didn't make me enthusiastic about being alive. No matter what the subject your solutions/ideas are simple and calming. Deva
