Two Million FanHouse Page Views Can't Be Wrong


This morning, on its four-week birthday, FanHouse celebrated by passing the 2 million-hit mark, which has us (myself and the 80 or so contributing bloggers) guzzling leftover tailgate beer and doing endzone dances. And in case you assume all of this traffic is coming from the fire hydrant that is AOL Sports, take note that 47% of FanHouse visits last week came from non-AOL users; which means almost half of the readers came from Google, other blogs and mainstream media sites.
 
To celebrate, I'll highlight one of the more notable FanHouse posts yet, this video of Chad Johnson meeting the press after getting his helmet knocked off, which has come to be known simply as "Hue!" Enjoy, and thanks if you represent one or more of those 2 million page views:
 
 
Update: It just dawned on me to take this time to ask for feedback and such. If you've been visiting FanHouse, use the comments here to let us know what you think. And, please, keep it real.

    Jamie,

    Congrats with the sucess with the Fanhouse. I check it out regularly and AOL did a good job finding knowledgeable writers and making the layout of the site look good.

    I critique I have -- for the college Fanhouse anyway -- is that it seems that there are only a few writers covering multiple teams. Of course I checked the Washington page and noticed only a few posts and many by the same guy writing about general pac-10 stuff as well as other teams.

    i think it would be cool to head to the Fanhouse and have constant updates and posts on my teams...but those are just my two cents.

    2 million page views speaks for itself.

    This is fantastic video that should have the internets blowing up for years. It just doesn't get better then CJ out of his mind, trying to swallow spit and hold down vomit. if you ever had a concussion you know what I mean.
