Happy Anniversary!

Today Hunk du Jour celebrates the 5th Anniversary of HunkDuJour.com! I registered hunkdujour.com on February 13th, 2003. Back in those days it was still my personal web site with a Hunk of the Day page that I'd already had on my previous site.

I chose to move my web site to this name after discovering that the bulk of my visitors weren't coming to view my vacation photos, or hear about my fascination with game shows -- they were coming to vote on the Hunk of the Day! I listened, and changed the site's name to Hunk du Jour.

In the past five years, we've come a long way. After we added the blog, visitors have increased from under 200 per month to over 180,000 per month... Page views have increased from under 9,000 per month to over a half million per month!

What's next?

We're going to stick with our mission - To feature noteworthy men in interviews, profiles, and photos on a site that you wouldn't mind your mother finding in your bookmarks. We're already working on some great interviews and projects to share. We hope that you'll join us for the next 5 years and beyond.

How can you help?

Well, keep reading! =) Tell a friend that you think Hunk du Jour is awesome... tell your Mom! Send us a tip on who you think we should feature next, or just say hi! Of course, we're never one to turn down new links to our site, either! (grab a site badge?)

THANK-YOU for being a part of Hunk du Jour... you're the reason we're doing this.

Love, Chris
and current/former/future contributors Doug, Troy, David, and Kathryn

UPDATE 1: Nicky at Ajax in the City happened to send a shout-out my way this morning -- featuring a photo of me with a mouth full of a mounds bar! Check it out. Thanks, Nicky!
