two million hits
Salut! Sunderland gets ready to sort the winners from the losers
The milestone has been and gone. But you have a last chance this weekend to try for a prize in the grand Two Million hits competition … the deadline in midnight (UK time) tomorrow, June 30 …
As Salut! Sunderland hits two million, Kevin Maguire talks hope and passion
Welcome to Salut! Sunderland en fête, on the day – or, at worst, the day before – it finally clocks up its two millionth visit. Cast your eyes to the right where you find the heading “The Salut! Sunderland Readership Count” and you will see the little figure beneath it. Fewer than 900 further visits to the site today and we’re there. If you happen to spot that you are the reader making that milestone visit, try to photograph or screengrab the vital statistic and send it to Monsieur Salut at salutsunderland@gmail.com. If I receive one such e-mail, and it appears genuine, a commemorative mug will be on its way (soon). If I receive two or more, I’ll know it can be fixed and all entries, sadly, may have to be disqualified unless I find a way of verifying the true winner. And don’t forget the Two Million Hits competition; closing date is June 30 (https://safc.blog/2013/06/salut-sunderlands-two-million-hit-party-even-newcastle-are-invited/)
Now read what the Daily Mirror, Sky, BBC and LBC journalist Kevin Maguire* has to say about a site devoted to his lifelong footballing passion …
Don’t panic (1). Still time to enter Salut! Sunderland’s Two Million Hits competition
The countdown is about to begin.
Some time today or tomorrow, the number of hits – pages visited by readers – registered by Salut! Sunderland since its modest launch on January 16 2007 will be within 10,000 of passing the two million mark. (Stop Press: we’re up to 1,990,000+; look a little to the right where the figure is shown to be constantly climbing.) It is an unremarkable milestone considering the traffic generated by many other websites but still one of which all those who help or have helped produce this one should be proud.
And to add to the generous voucher worth £200 off a holiday booked through Hays Travel, we can now announce more prizes in the grand Two million Hits competition – plus a closing date for entries.
