HfP had 1 million page views in January …. which is a bit spooky, actually

  Congrats on your readership milestone, Mr Raffles, and thank you for all the high quality articles.
  I am fairly new to the points collecting game, and only recently discovered HfP but now find I can’t go more than a day without checking for new posts and, often of equal interest, the readers’ comments, which offer their own insights.

  Congratulations Rob! I love your site and all the people who contribute to it – it has become my new addiction. I wish I had discovered it years ago! Keep up the great work!

  Thank you Rob for your honest fair blog which is uniquely helpful. Don’t ever change. You won’t see 1 million views too often in the future. You’ll be seeing much bigger instead.

  If you want help with the overload ping me. I do have space to commit to something that doesn’t have to be fulltime in time, but would be in commitment and I am sure we can come to some arrangement 🙂

  Rob first of all well done you should quite rightly be very proud (sorry if I bug you in the near future for Amex hold referal).

  Secondly if I can make a suggestion on improvements. The articles are brill short and sweet to the point and the comments section is a bible on some. I find the articles fade away after a day or two and no longer engaged on. I’ve no idea how this would work or be administered but it’s a pity it doesn’t feature like a forum so they can be reopened and comnented on regardless of age. I use the example of the recent accor points saga. I know you can check and post old stories it just requires searching. I find people don’t comment on after a day or two.

  Just a thought not a criticism! Keep up the good work!

    Let me tell you why. In the last six months, HFP has received 32,000 spam comments. This is despite the fact that only 63 articles are available for comments at any particular time (the last 21 days-worth).

    Imagine if all 3,800 articles were open to comments ….

    You also have to ask yourself who would read comments on old articles – not many people. Not enough to justify the spam increase!

    However …. I may have found a potential half-way house between a forum (which I don’t want) and the current situation. I am going to trial it over the next couple of months and see if it works. Keep an eye out.

  Hi Rob, congratulations on hitting the 1m mark.
  I’ve only with HFP since last year but it’s been a revelation. You provide great advice and are such a nice guy, which for me makes a difference, thank you, Adrian
