After 7 long years, I am closing in on 1,000,000 views

   This morning, my stats show that I have just over 990,000 views. At this rate, I should have 1,000,000 in less than two weeks. It seems like it has taken forever, but I think that's actually not bad considering I have fewer than 60 published hubs.

      Well done. Hopefully the next million will take a little less time!? Onward and upward with more fresh articles.

      That is excellent, Sherry, especially with only 60 hubs.  It took me almost that long to get my first million, and it was such a good feeling!  Since then the page view rate seems to have increased significantly as I'm going to hit 3,400,000 by the end of today.  I noticed the same trend after I hit my first 10,000.  However, I have 155 articles right now, so if you compare your progress to mine, I'd say you're doing really well.  Keep up the good work!

         I think the best advice I can give is, just keep at it. Pay attention to what works and what doesn't and focus on what works. I still post stuff that I think is great that just languishes at the bottom, and stuff I just dash off that soars.
         
         Just keep swimming!

         Mr. Madan, I was just looking over some of your interesting ideas on Indian politics. You should easily be able to reach that goal but only if you improve your work and have as many of them moved to niche sites where you have better readership. You need to improve the titles, make all titles and subtitles follow the APA style, and edit to make sure that each article answers any reader questions about the title.
         When you have finished one article, look at the niche site you want to submit it to, see if your article is adequate for that site, then submit it to the HP team. They will evaluate it, one every 15 days, and tell you what needs to be improved.
         Best of luck.

   Thanks everyone. I feel a little silly posting about this, it's just a number after all. I know that as  soon as all of those zeros turn into other numbers, I will be looking forward to the next milestone. So, this right here, the anticipation, is the best part.

    Thanks everybody. All of you who are working toward a goal, keep at it. Persistence is key.
    
    I thought I'd give an update. I has been five days since I posted this. This morning I am at 994,660. It still feels like it's taking forever. Maybe I posted this too soon, but I wanted to share my anticipation instead of waiting until it's a done deal.
    
    I will let you know when I get there.
