Piz Gloria Website Launched 007 Years Ago Today


Today is the 007th anniversary of the launch of PizGloria.com.  Oh how time flies !  It seems like only yesterday I was sitting in a restaurant with my wife explaining to her what I imagined my website would look like, but not knowing how I'd go about creating it.  Somehow I jumped that hurdle and got a website up.

A quick visit to Google Analytics reveals the following statistics about PizGloria.com:
- During the last seven years there have been 20,478 visitors
- Almost 210,000 pages have been viewed
- The average visitor spends 3:22 minutes on the website
- On average each visitor views 6 different pages during their visit (this is a weird one because it's pages per session and each visitor has 1.71 sessions per visit)

I'm so pleased that people are still visiting my website and using it as a reference for their own James Bond collections, or just because they are curious.  I still have ideas on how I can improve the website.  Adding the "Tour Covers By Publishers" buttons last year was a start but there's more I'd like to do if I had the time.  However at the end of the day it's the book authors (especially Mr Fleming), cover artists and publishers who deserve the most gratitude, because it's their hard work on display here and I am just a mere collector.

Thankyou everyone for taking the time to visit both this blog and the PizGloria.com website. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.

Cheers Baz
