I have now incorporated an inline TrackBack feature, using code via PoliBlog via WizBang via Amish Tech Support via ScriptyGoddess. It makes it easier to see who has linked to OTB posts and “continued the discussion” elsewhere. As an added bonus, it counts as a link on the TTLB Ecosystem and should generate a modest traffic increase for those linking OTB, especially for less established blogs.

Speaking of TTLB, NZ Bear has finally found time to read his e-mail and has removed Bizarro OTB from the Ecosystem, having peaked at #18. I’ll have to content myself with my much less exciting #58, knowing that at least the links are legit.

OTB has been blogrolled by two more sites:

Hedgehog Report

Happy Furry Puppy

Thanks to both!

Kevin Aylward has again moved Wizbang to a new locale, this time with a spiffy new site design and Movable Type. His old URL will host WizbangTech, a blog devoted exclusively to Kevin’s “various blogosphere tech projects,” starting July 1. Adjust your links accordingly.

Bizarro OTB continues to climb the TTLB Ecosystem, having hit #18. At its present rate, it’ll overtake InstaPundit before long if Bear doesn’t remove it. Still not sure how it got added. Meanwhile, OTB Classic is holding steady way down at #65.

It's your chance. You have a big job now that the big boys are out of place.

This is so weird; I've noticed a few blogs that are in there 2-3 times, but I always tend to assume that the *real* blog is the one that is highest-ranked.

James, how many people--given this situation--would publicly announce that the high ranking is not accurate? You are *the* man, and an example of integrity for all of us.

It appears to me (my blog which is very very new at its present location and name is a Large Mammal) that its counting all the links from within a blog to other places in that same blog as well as external links. That appears to be the glitch to me. I noticed it because I had very few external links the last time TTLB scraped.

Hey thanks for blogrolling me, and man you weren't kidding about trackback being buggy. I got two trackback pings from you (one redundant) for this little blurb. I've also gotten wild errors before when I attempt to send a trackback ping. It's still a cool feature though. ;-)

Congrats! You are making it rather difficult to catch up with you!

Thanks! The weird thing is that my traffic is actually down 10% or so lately but my TTLB links are generally going upward.

Jay Solo and PoliBlog are moving up the ladder in the TTLB Ecosystem
Solo is up several spots, to the 168th position overall with 123 “details” and PoliBlogger has achieved Marauding Marsupial status. Congrats to both.

Meanwhile, OTB is still firmly ensconsed in the lower ranks of the Playful Primates, holding at 88th overall. It has been added to the blogrolls at three sites, though:

Modulator

Cranky Historian

Reductio Ad Absurdum

Thanks to all!
