Thank you all

I wanted to take a few moments to thank everyone for making 2008 a GREAT year for DBatesPhoto.com

Yesterday December 17, 2008 by 2:00 AM DBatesPhoto.com hit a milestone 100,000 Unique Visitors for the year. Not a major event for some sites, but it is quite an improvement over the 64,000 we just passed our first year on current server. I do not have records prior to January 9, 2007 due to server change and backup failure, but the site had only been active two weeks so I doubt there had been a ton of traffic.

With the holidays approaching I was expecting things to slack off, but it looks like if things keep up the site may hit a second milestone with a record month as well. I wanted to take the time to thank you all for visiting the site, referring your friends and coming back over the years.

With 2009 nearly here I am looking forward to it being an even bigger and better year. I have already implemented a few new improvements to the site. The Guest book is already online and ready to go. Please sign it and let me know what you think of the site and mention any ideas you have for improving the site. As you can see I have added a blog that I will be using often. I am planning a few shoots and while there may not be as many new models as there used to be I will be doing my best to add fresh photos frequently and am looking for new models in the area to work with on numerous projects.

Before I close I want to say once again Thank you all for coming to my site. Merry Christmas, I hope you have a Safe and Happy Holiday season.
