This week marks the sixth anniversary of the existence of Pajiba. That makes us practically ancient by Internet standards.
I think we tested our readers’ patience last year with a week’s worth of posts to celebrate our fifth anniversary, so I think well just mark this one with a look back out our 50 Most Popular posts during that time frame. It’s been a fantastic run, one that started slowly and has gradually picked up over the years. Here’s a look at our traffic since June 2004.
Fun Fact: See that huge one-day spike about four years ago? Strangely enough, that was unearned, and attributed almost completely to the fact that we were running an ad on another site that had the first nude photos of “American Idol’s” Antonella Barba. But look who’s laughing now? We outlasted Antonella Barba, bitches (in fact, I had to do some research to locate her name)!
A huge thanks to all the people who have contributed over the years, the Eloquents, the former Eloquents, the readers that have been here for years, and everybody that decides to spend a few minutes each day around here. Good goddamn people have made this site was it is. And as we grow, we’re trying — really trying (although, some of you may disagree) — not to be huge douches or sell-outs.
So, here’s to another six years of hopefully not becoming douches. And to thank you all for your continued patronage, I’ve removed the mouseover, in-text ads. No more Bing results!
Thanks everyone. Really and honestly, thanks.
