Officially, Garry Conn dot Com was launched on January 1st 2007. I can’t believe how fast 2007 just went by! It is truly surreal! I want to wish all my readers and visitors a Happy New Years for 2008! I am very excited to get this new year started! 2007 was amazing but I feel like 2008 is going to be way cool, especially for bloggers!!!
In one short year, I have managed to:
Write: 476 articles
Receive: 5,371 Comments
Consume: 327 Gigs of Bandwidth
Get: 535,512 unique visits
Generate: 1,017,472 Pageviews
Gain: A Google PageRank of PR5.
Index: Over 800 Pages in Google. Over 1500 pages in Yahoo. Over 2900 pages in Live.
That isn’t too bad for one year! I am pretty happy with these statistics! I don’t want to mention thanks to any direct names as I feel that it will create a situation where someone will think, “oh well, I didn’t get included in this list!” … there are a quite a few people who are special to me, you know who you are. 
Thanks to everyone who helped grow this site. This website would be nothing without my readers and visitors. Thank you so much!
I have to send out some special thank yous! I can’t help it… LOL!!!
In no particular order, I want to wish:
*Who else did I miss? I’ll add ya!

I am a “Big Time” blogger because I have “Big Time” blog readers with true hearts! Thanks for reading my blog and I totally value you as a reader and blog friend.
2008 I going to be the year of the blogger… I thought that 2007 was a pretty excellent year for bloggers; however, blogging hasn’t quite hit a peek just yet… I think 2008 things are going to be rocking!!!

That is funny…. I have been called, The Blog Father and now The Bloginator. Here is something that will blow your mind, those stats are just for GCDC and doesn’t even put a dent into the total numbers for all my blogs… I think even I am scared to compile those numbers! lol!
Date/Time: 1-1-2008 06:27:40 Comment #8212
Happy New Year Garry!
All the best for the coming year with your online endeavours, some of those stats for GCDC alone are amazing, here’s to an even more successful year for you!
Thanks,
Simon

LOL!!! I have Google Alerts for the word “Money” and that is how I was able to respond back so quickly… I have alarm and buzzers all over the house that connect to this alert.
Did you mention something about money???

Dunn,
Thanks man!! Same to you… I wish you a wonderful 2008!
David,
2007 is old news dude… already reminds me of the 80’s and 90’s.

Happy New Year to you Garry.
Thanks for the mention in your first post of 2008.
What an amazing first year you had. Those are some impressive stats. Not many first year bloggers would even come close. Keep on trucking man. The future looks bright for bloggers and you are leading the charge.
I like your videos by the way. Video will only get bigger during 2008 and way beyond so I am sure you are on the right track. Take a look at what this guy has done in one year with a video show. http://tv.winelibrary.com/ In one year this guy has taken a local wine shop from $3,000,000 in annual sales to over $50,000,000. Video is a killer way to build a business when it is totally intergrated into what ever else you are doing that folks already like.
All the best for a super 2008.
Cheers,
David

@ David,
Wow! Thanks so much for including that reference. Very inspiring! Gary Vaynerchuk is awesome and he sure does know his wine. Most excellent reference and I am just totally wanting to check out his entire site. Happy New Years to you buddy and thank you so much for reading what I write!
@ Mike,
Thanks for the trackback and especially for this:
@ Collin,
You are a very awesome writer and I wish the same for you. Happy New Years! There is a lot in store for 2008!
@ The Monetizer,
Thanks man… I wish the same for you as well. I absolutely love your Blogger.com theme for your site. Looks very similar to the theme I created for my good friend, Eliza. I think yours is a little better though… Don’t tell Eliza or she might have to barter for a copy!

Hi Garry,
I’ll tell it you in italian:
FELICE ANNO NUOVO !
Compliments for your first year of GCDC, I wish you the double of the succes you already got the last year !
Keep up with your great work.
I enjoy analyze stats and I noticed that on average you got 11 comments per post. In my eyes that is a good results. BTW since the “I want to give up” post your comments have skyrocket…
All the best
ciao
