How many readers does Dollymania have?
When the site first started, it averaged a few dozen hits per month, but readership has grown steadily since then. By the time it moved to its own domain in May 2000, it had about 5,000 visitors a month. Seven or eight months later, it was at about 10,000 a month. By the end of 2001, it had reached about 15,000 a month. As of mid-2002, it averaged about 20,000 hits each month. By mid-2003, it averaged between 25,000 and 30,000 monthly. Today, it runs usually somewhere between 30,000 and 40,000 visitors per month. The cumulative total since late 1998 is shown on the counter located near the bottom center of the site’s front page. In early April 2003, that number passed half a million, it passed 1 million in November 2004. Do you make any money off the site? No. I do it for no pay in my spare time. The only compensation I receive is a small commission off CDs sold via the links on the site to Amazon.com. Basically, I earn enough credit on the commissions to cover the regular monthly cost
