Sometime early Saturday, September 18, 2010, we received our 1,000,000th  visitor to CleverDude.com. We also recently crossed over 1,600,000 page views. As of Tuesday, Sept. 21 around 1pm EST, here are the actual numbers:

I started this site in June 2006 (over 4 years ago), but the first 6 months had almost no traffic. I hit it big in February 2007 with a few articles on The Consumerist and Lifehacker and I’ve been going strong ever since. I just wonder, if I hadn’t dropped down from 30-40 articles/month, how much faster would I have gotten to a million?

Next up, 100 million visitors!!!

About Cleverdude

Mike founded CleverDude.com in June 2006 while working as a technical analyst in the Washington, D.C. area. A Penn State graduate, he built the site as a side project alongside a white-collar career that included earning a master’s degree and multiple promotions.

In five years he wrote nearly 1,300 articles on personal finance and life lessons drawn from his own experience. The blog grew from a hobby into a recognized early voice in the personal-finance community and generated meaningful revenue. He sold the site in 2010, continued as a guest contributor through 2015, and returned in 2023 after further career advances, paying off his home, and extensive travel.
