1 Million Visits to Modern Survival Blog!
June 2, 2011
This past week we have crossed a huge milestone here at Modern Survival Blog, when someone out there was number 1,000,000 to have visited us! The ‘us’ is basically me with the support of my wife Lauren, who has also helped with ideas and some occasional posts.
When I started this blog early in 2010, I wasn’t sure where it would go or if people would be interested, or even if I would continue the effort for very long. Having had recently exited the big ‘corporate’ way of life, with no particular interest to re-enter (I could write numerous posts on reasons why), I began the blog as a mixture of hobby, therapy, and an outlet to express and experiment with some of my interests and core beliefs. I was having fun (and still am).
Throughout 2010 there were times when I came close to moving on to other things, but I stuck with it because I enjoyed it. I had set a goal during 2010 that when readership was high enough, I would approach sponsors that were relevant to our theme and begin selling advertising space with the hope that perhaps the site could grow to a point where I could actually contemplate focusing all my efforts such that this would become my ‘job’ so to speak, and bring in enough revenue to cover expenses and contribute to the budget.
I was very happy to connect with some of the top sponsors in this niche, and am happy to have them advertising on our site. I know that it is benefiting you the reader as well as our sponsors.
I also decided to provide advertising space to Google, and although some folks may have their own issues with a giant like them, I must say that for the most part their algorithms do a fairly decent job at connecting relevant ads to the ‘content’ of the text of any given M.S.B. page. The idea here is to provide you the reader with relevant advertising that may truly interest you, as well as provide us with revenue to keep this site going. When you click, it helps us.
So at the end of the day, I’m trying to say that we appreciate that you have visited Modern Survival Blog, we hope that you will or have bookmarked us, and we encourage you to also explore our sponsor web sites – which in turn keeps this site on-the-air.
I hope that Modern Survival Blog continues to provide you interesting or helpful information while we remain focused on the general notion of survival preparedness and current event risk awareness, while also dabbling in the area of geophysical earth and space phenomenon.
-thanks a million

Well done Ken and Lauren! I think that you really deserve this and I am happy for you.
You have earned your place as one of the best survival sites on the web and in my opinion THE best.

I just love this web-site……check it several times a day !!!
Enjoy seeing sun loop as well and have been encouraged to prep
and garden even more than I anticipated. SUPER JOB !!!!
You and Lauren have done a wonderful job and your hard work is greatly appreciated. Your site is not only informative but a comfort for those of us who are just learning. Think of yourselves as our prepping parents!
The next goal is 10 million!
Ken I appreciate the work you and your wife have put into this site and hope it pays off for you in the long haul. I very much like the balanced approach you take to your reporting and the broad coverage you provide.
There are so many things going on in the world today, both man made and galactic/geologic, that it is hard to keep up on what is happening………… it is virtually impossible if you use the MSM. I come here several times a day to read and ponder, and don’t have to worry about bazaar reports about alien reptile invasions, star gates in the Red Sea or people pretending to be mystics and seers.
Cheers!
Thank you both for all your work! its the only site i know of that gives true info on the important things that effect everyones life and view, its important to me as living the other side of the world its hard to get correct news from the USA about lots of different things going on and the situations on the way. I check in a few times a day to read up on many different items and your encouragement in gardening and many ways and items that will help to be prepared and survive, a million thank you’s to you both! take care.
Congratulations Ken and Lauren! Your blog is a much needed and very well executed information site for those of us who are preparing for these increasingly more difficult times. I wish you continued success and appreciate your efforts. Thanks a million!! Dee
Yes!! Kudos to you!
This site is one of a very few I comb through daily, just very easy, informative……
Keep it up, you’ve definitely encouraged me to do more, and be more aware….. Have a nice day!
Thanks everyone for your kind words. I will continue to do my best to provide unique, interesting, and helpful information related to preparedness, current event risk awareness, and other topics related to making our way through modern life with sufficient knowledge or skills to be prepared for bad times or worse, – which will hopefully help to liberate you from dependence on ‘the system’ that is rigged to tie you down…
Love the website, I too follow Modern survival daily. Some great and fascinating stuff happens on good old planet earth that we know very little about. I have always had an interest in the weird and wonderful and the unknown.
Thanks for a great website and keep up the good work.
