Every day I see so many of my fellow members tackling hot-button issues with patience, tact and poise. And every member who does so inspires other members to do the same...

... it is my sincere, heartfelt belief that the good members of ATS, who are the heart and soul of this community, deserve ultimate credit for its continuing success.

Without a doubt ... it's the myriad of mindsets, thoughts and opinions that truly 'drive' ATS.

KUDOS to You, I and ALL - Members

You couldn't do it without We ... and that's a beautiful thing - The ATS Community

Congratulations all at ATS , its a superb site and can only get better. As Yazz said"The only way is up"

Nice job everyone!

Please update me when you're in the top ten, will ya?

Well done ATS! I have not been a member here long and I have in the past been a member of other sites. However, this site is so much better due to the fact the staff actually do their job. (A good job too). Too many times on other sites they have been ruined by morons posting inappropriate material which was more likely to cause offense than not. By making sure this site stays as good as it is will ensure it having a very long and successful future.

Peace

Goes to show you ....

Conspiracies are going mainstream !!!

As a young Patrick Swayze once said ..... nobody puts baby in the corner !!

The voices of the minority will grow to a low roar so loud the gods will have to take notice.

I would personaly like to thank myself, and on a side note, thank ATS owners, mods, admins, and especialy the members.

Well... "pooing" on any other site is certainly not our intent.

Though, it's interesting to note that even with the Drudge Report placing Prison Planet's coverage of the TSA full-body scanners on their home page for nearly a week, prisonplanet.com still has not broken through a Quantcast rank of 3,000. So even though a big "eyeball competitor" receives favorable treatment from a top-tier site (Drudgereport is 73 on Quantcast), they've not be able to come close to our rank.

Lol, I know its not your intent, but I think the way the site is run and moderated is what sets it apart from other websites. Skeptics are also welcome here, which is another factor which makes ATS much more popular than other competetitors

A major factor in our steady improvement on Quantcast can also be attributed to the ATS 2010 site redesign. A good portion of the traffic improvement has happened after the redesign was complete.

Our Google Analytics 30-day overview:



We're showing very close to 5 million visits (user-sessions) in the past 30 days, and over 2.5 million unique visitors.


Along with those 30-day numbers are:

2.7 million visits from search on 960,719 different search terms.

658,793 visits from 7,956 different referring websites.

20 million page views on a total of 532,274 distinct pages.

2.5 million views of the site home page.

223 different countries visiting ATS.



Damn! Over a half-million different pages were seen by visitors. That number shocked even me.

As you know all too well, that was a huge undertaking and quite a gamble.

But as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold.

The new re-design is awesome btw. I wonder now if more and more sponsors are going to be knocking at your door.( maybe we can help to bring that number to 6%)All and all ...good news.oo

Thats way cool, go ATS!!!!!!

If YOU build it, they will come.

Seriously, you've built the perfect playground for for EVERYONE seeking EVERYTHING alternative.

You should expect more surprises.

At least for as long as the real powers that be allow this kind of entity to exist.

No surprise!

As a former member of the MSM (and happy to be gone) I'd really like to reiterate to you what a well run, informative and functional sight this is.

Having been a "seeker" my whole life, I find ATS the best place to learn, share and form an a better idea about the world.

Thank you for doing what you do.... so well.

Well done!!

Nothing could make this site better...well Obviously porn but if you combine them you would come out with something very scary, but I guarantee it would be the 1st ranked site on the net.

Wow.

Meow, meow mow!!!.

Mow meeeooww.

ATS.

Cosmic...

Time to start putting more thought into and taking much much greater care in our content creations, so that ATS does not become little more than a giant chatbox, and put the quality of content back into ATS for the reader's pleasure, and for everyone's benefit. IMHO.
