Publisher's
note:For the years that I was growing up, Southern Living magazine was a
constant fixture in our house. When my wife and I moved to Georgia over 15
years ago, Mom went back through her old issues and cut out articles about
our new home that she felt I would be interested in. I still have those articles.
What a pleasant surprise! In the February, 2000 issue of Southern Living
(site), About North Georgia was
featured in a article highlighting the magazine's choices for the top 8 Georgia
travel sites. We are in some great company on this list, including the Georgia
Department of Industry, Trade, and Tourism, and Georgia on my mind, and we
are one of only two regional sites in the state to make the list (the other
regional site covers coastal Georgia).
When the web site visitor results were in for the month of February, 2000
we were even more surprised. Independent web-site traffic experts PC
Data On-line (now part of Juniper Media Metrix), who rank site popularity based
on the number
of unique visits per month, had About North Georgia at number 6,219,
easily our best ranking ever (see results below). This means that out of millions
and millions of individual domains, About North Georgia finished in the
top
7,000!
When we began this venture in 1994, we had no idea how popular the site (or
the web) would become. We would like to thank Southern Living for letting so
many people know "About North Georgia," but more importantly, we would like
to thank our many visitors who have made this site one of the top regional
sites in the nation.
