We're up at the crack o' noon again today and we're finishin' up our second cup after readin' the overnight mail and such. We also took a quick look at SiteMeter and see someone from P-Ville paid us a visit earlier this morning. I'm always curious about how folks get here, especially my fellow P-villians. This person did a Google search on "portales blogpost" and did his homework either before or after dropping in to EIP... what with reading what the News-Tribune had to say about me, as well as checking out my Technorati ranking (I know this because Google changes the colors of the links on the search page, indicating which have been read).
I hadn't been to Technorati in quite a while so I went and looked, too. Here's what I saw:
Well, now. They've added a "hockey authority" ranking and you can see I'm the 134th bestest hockey blog in Technorati's universe. That may sound cool (note EIP is #7245 out of the bazillion or so blogs on the planet) but I'm 134 out of 158 when it comes to hockey, which ain't cool at all. I looked at some of the other blogs ranked above me in this space and see there are a couple of spam-blogs with higher rankings. So much for Technorati, eh?
OTOH... they may be right. Which is why I bought this shirt:
Damn it man, you're singing my sad little song. I think they made that shirt for me.
ReplyDeleteAh, we're in the same boat, Andy. But you have much more reason to bemoan our mutual fate than I.
ReplyDeleteWith all the problemas on Blogger this week, I've had very little traffic. Yep my usual two readers have not been by at all. I also lost some comments to cyberspace.
ReplyDeleteCool shirt. And for what it's worth: I don't need any of the other stinking 158 hockey blogs, EIP is my go to place for Hockey stuff.
ReplyDeleteLou: I've been by!
ReplyDeleteDan: You are too kind, Sir!
I'm with Dan!
ReplyDeleteHeh.
ReplyDeleteI could wear that shirt in relative sincerity. But I really don't care.
Ok, I do. It would be nice to have a blog that makes money, but that would require real work and time. Neither of which I care to do or use up.
Rock on!
