Automattic now reaches half a billion people
Last night, we crossed the 500M mark for monthly unique visitors to the Automattic network:
The Automattic network consists of WordPress.com, Polldaddy, IntenseDebate, and Gravatar, as tracked by Quantcast (the bump you see in November is when we started tracking Polldaddy, ID, Gravatar, and WordPress.com Stats users in addition to WordPress.com visitors).
500M uniques is Google, Facebook, and Yahoo territory. And what’s even better is that we have reached that number with a team of just 75 people (spread across 17 states and 23 countries).
That's great news! WordPress is an amazing product and I love to create with it. Please keep up the good work.
That's awesome – congratulations!
"You don't get to 500 million unique visitors monthly without making a few enemies."
You don't get to 500 million uniques without making a few blogs?
not to be a spoil-sport, but why would one include WordPress.com stats plugin users (i.e. self-hosted WordPress blogs) as being part of the automattic network?
We're including it because we're planning on using the data for future feature development.
OK (or not, but that's not my point here), but I fail to see how those future developments make self-hosted wordpress blogs part of the Automattic network?
You'll find out soon when we launch some new things
Friend Toni,
Looks as though you are adeptly well versed here? I will definitively check into things more, have to admit I need all the help and support from you all at WordPress possible man!;-)
Props and Peace,
Rich
Picking any other platform over WordPress is like picking canned fruit over fresh…
Have been blogging for only a year or so, but am so very glad to have invested the time to learn and enjoy using WordPress.
You guys rock…and congrats on the massive traffic stats!
That's simply… facebook! (Impressive stats!)
