When I first started iPhone J.D., I wasn’t sure how much interest there would be in a specialized website of this sort. Back in 2008, most attorneys used BlackBerries, but even so there wasn’t any website focused on attorneys using BlackBerries, nor were there websites devoted to teachers using Treos, insurance agents using iPods, etc. I remember thinking that it was amazing when I first saw over 200 visitors to the website in a single day.
Over time, readership has increased and this website now sees thousands of visitors a day. As a result, at some point during the day today (most likely right around lunch time), this website will cross over the threshold of 1 million page views.
I try to keep being self-referential to a minimum on this website, but I see a greater significance in a niche site like this one crossing the 1 million page view threshold. Even though iPhone J.D. gets a huge number of non-attorney visitors (everyone is welcome!), I believe that the increase in traffic here reflects a growing number of attorneys using iPhones and iPads … a fact that will hopefully translate into even more development of apps and hardware accessories that are helpful for attorneys and other professionals using the iOS.
To all of you who have visited iPhone J.D. since it debuted in November of 2008, thanks a million!
No, the increase in traffic reflects the time, energy, and foresight that you have put into this website. Congratulations on the milestone but it doesn’t surprise me one bit. Please keep up the great work.
As a lawyer who has been using an iPhone for over two year I really appreciate the information, app reviews and insight that you provide. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Your website is a must read for me every day. I have discovered many new applications, accessories and other information that help make my iPad and iPhone useful in my practice. Thank you!
You’ve built your site on the bedrock of consistent and thoughtful commentary. It’s not surprising that you’re getting the foot traffic that you are. Congratulations: useful websites are rare indeed!
Congrats, Jeff! The great response and success is a result of your hard work. I’ll happily be contributing to the next 1,000,000.
Congratulations, Jeff! When I got my iPad, I read everything available on your site from start to finish.
Jeff,
Congratulations, it’s because you’ve done a great job. I concur with Joanne Frasca. Your thoughtful, consistently useful, and diatribe-free commentary is a pleasure to read and so helpful. I’m not an attorney, but you’ve led me to purchase some great apps for my iPhone.
Mahalo nui loa,
Walter
Jeff. Congrats! Very good job friend.
