Candy Addict Turns Two!

Candy Cake

Today is Candy Addict’s two-year anniversary/birthday! We’re celebrating by giving away candy! If you haven’t entered the giveaways, go do it now. They’re open til midnight EST tonight.

So what have we done in two years? We went from a staff of one (me), up to a staff of 13 writers across the United States and we even have a writer in Australia and one in Japan! We have been featured and linked from numerous websites, been mentioned in many newspapers, been featured on TV once, been mentioned on some few radio stations, and I have even been interviewed on the radio. This year, we even got to go to the All Candy Expo, a Candy Addict’s dream come true!

Some current site stats:

4,290 pages on the site
5,006 reader comments posted
220,000 spam comments caught (and removed)
Candy Addict ranks in the Top 5 on Google for the search term candy
3,000 – 4,000 unique visitors a day

Many thanks go out to our regular readers and to all those who have linked to us and who have told their friends and family about us. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you. THANKS!

birthday, anniversary

To the tune of, what else? “Happy Birthday!”

“It’s your birthday; you’re two,
You’re eating candy…whoohoo!
But what’s even more cool
Is that you’re sharing it, too!”

HAPPY SECOND BIRTHDAY, CANDY ADDICT! :-)
