‘Thank You’ x 1 million

Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.

A little surprisingly, to put it mildly, Head for Points has just hit 1 million ‘unique visitors’ for the past 365 days:

Uniques crop

(The little dip last August is when I accidentally deleted the tracking code and didn’t notice for three days.)

A ‘unique visitor’ is not a person. It is an IP address. If, over the past year, you have read HFP from your home, from your office, from a hotel room, from an airport lounge etc then you will have been counted numerous times. On the other hand, if two people in your house read HfP then only one ‘unique visitor’ is counted.

1 million unique visitors is not 1 million different people. And many of those just popped over from Google for 30 seconds, read one article and left, never to return. That said, it is still a slightly scary number. Thank you all for your support.

Well done raffles!! Brilliant news!

For the tech geeks out there- if I clear my cookies daily- but always access from the same device and Internet xonnection- am I counted as a new unique visitor each day?

Congrats Raffles! Even though I hardly read any of the daily emails I receive I make a point to read yours… And enjoy doing so even if inapplicable to me. Glad you can see tangible results for all your hard work… Thank you!

Congratulations Rob,

Great site!

Thanks for all your work, since reading the website just over a year ago, I have gained over 300,000 avios/Amex membership points, recieved a 2-4-1 from the BA credit card and taken a couple of cheap business class flights to various places.

Thanks again!
