Another year flew away rapidly and Mercedes-Benz-Blog arrived at the third year milestone of its existence. When the story began back in 2007, on December 31st, nobody behind this weblog knew what lay ahead in the future and whether this project will be a successful one. The time that we spent together with our fans and visitors in these three years was highly valuable and shed light on the continuous growth path we embarked on. Nevertheless, the ambitious plan to offer the online public the most attractive Mercedes-Benz news source soon met the initial expectances and it started slowly, but surely to surpass those. 2010 was by far the richest period for Mercedes-Benz-Blog since the dawn of it three years ago. More and more people chose our weblog as their prime Mercedes-Benz information choice. We have reached a daily average of around 1,400 - 1,500 unique visitors. Moreover, to offer everyone a complete internet experience, we redesigned both the Mercedes-Benz-Blog and the Mercedes-Benz-Blog TRIVIA websites to make them more attractive, in addition to establishing a strong connection with our fans throughout the official pages on Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and Google. All in all, it was a very productive year for us.
We are confident about our mission. We are sure Mercedes-Benz-Blog will become even stronger and better in the future. And we are sure this task could not be accomplished without you, our devoted readers.
Thank you very much for your unending support!Have a wonderful new year - See you in 2011!
