12,898,438

That's right, TheBoringThings.com is now the 12,898,438 MOST visited website IN THE UNIVERSE (according to our Alexa ranking).

Sure, you might think, "doesn't that mean that you were beat by over 12.8 MILLION other websites?" and you would be correct in that thought. BUT that also means we BEAT many MILLIONS of websites.

Consider that as of 2005, netcraft.com basically took a count of all the websites that exist. At that time (5 years ago) there were over 70 million websites. I have to think that in the five years since then that many millions more websites have been added to the total.

So, even using 2005's website count, TheBoringThings.com is in the top 20% of the most visited websites IN THE UNIVERSE (in case you missed that the first time around). In celebration of this (clearly) momentous occasion, I have created an EXCITING .GIF image which you can see in our exciting new header.
*Also while I was at the whole "editing the layout" thing I went ahead and widened the text area of this blog, which will hopefully aid in not cutting off the edges of images and videos when we post them*

Also, apparently the six searches that most often lead visitors to our website are:
1. "the boring things"
2. boring things
3. buster bluth goat photobooth [I have no idea how this search ever leads to our website, as I cannot find the post/comments that reference it]
4. seinfeld tip jar [referring to this post]
6. jon stewart oprah [referring to how we broke the news to them about Baconnaise]

"Hmm"? Care to elaborate?

I will make sure to work this < http://media.photobucket.com/image/buster%20bluth%20goat/Megn0201/ArrestedPhotostrip5-1.jpg > into my next post - and perhaps all subsequent posts.

Oh, and since the original Baconaise storm launched by The Boring Things, my YouTube video has received over 600 hits. And, no copyright infringement notice from Viacom for ripping it off from The Daily Show!
