AT LAST, A RELIABLE MEASURE OF MY FAME

Something called ALEXA measures the standing of each blog site, according to its hits, I guess.  The Huffington Post ranks 273rd.  This blog, you will be excited to learn, is ranked 4,909,739!  So be careful what you say.  The world is watching.

  1. Our FEC has documented that Trump hired actors to feign enthusiasm at his political rallies. I don't doubt that many of the high-ranked 'blogs have 'bots to inflate their reported readership. Such a metric is much more easily faked than the discussions you provoke here.

  2. It's a shame you don't have a donate button! I'd certainly donate to this outstanding blog! I suppose for now i'll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to brand new updates and will share this website with my Facebook group. Talk soon! My blog: Moncler outlet

  3. Philosopher's Stone is in my top twenty if that is any consolation. Tell me though, were you having some kidney ailment when you named this blog?

  5. There are techniques that lots of blogs use to drive up hit in a sort of phony way (usually in ways that help increase ad revenue.) Some have features the cause the page to load over and over (often w/o you noticing but when you try to back out, you'll note that the page lookes like it's been loaded a dozen time or something.) Others put the posts all "below the fold" so you have to click forward, and then back, and then forward, again to read things. I'm sure there are others. Obviously, you're not doing this for the ad money, but even beyond that, those things make a blog less readable. I find them really annoying and appreciate the easy, simple lay-out.

  6. Good Lord! I am truly, as Mark twain said, an innocent abroad.
