MAY REFERRALS

May 31, 2003

Comments

Borrowing a page out of Bill Quick‘s book, I have decided to start recognizing blogs that refer the most traffic my way with mentions on the sidebar. I’m going to do this on a monthly basis and, since it’s the best metric I have, I’ll use the logs provided to me by HostingMatters. I’m not exactly sure what a “page” constitutes, but it should be the same for everyone. I’ve excluded any site that isn’t a weblog from the list.

While the month isn’t officially over until midnight, these stats are accurate enough.

The sites that sent at least 50 visitors my way this month:

Site:	Pages:
ScrappleFace	894
One Hand Clapping	877	Asymmetrical Information	561	Possumblog	364	Argue with Signposts	344	PoliBlog	276	Inoperable Terran	244	Dean’s World	217	On the Third Hand	216	Common Sense and Wonder	207	John Lemon	185	CalPundit	127	Phillip Coons	118	The Bemusement Park	113	Jay Solo’s Verbosity	110	Right Wing News	109	Command Post	95	The Colorado Compound	86	Cut on the Bias	80	Occam’s Toothbrush	63	Signifying Nothing	57	Robin Goodfellow	55	VodkaPundit	53

Thanks to all.

(Also a to Joy for telling me to turn the stupid auto-spacer off in MT. It was doing all sorts of whacky things with my table.)

Heh! I notice someone is not on the referrer list, while I am, and in fine company too.

Yep. And it garners you two free links–one of which won’t go away until at least the end of June!

I did my best, but I didn’t get 50 people to even hit my blog this month.

Getting started can take a while, to be sure.

Wow. I’m amazed I was so high. To be honest, I was looking from the bottom up to see if I made it. Of course, most of those are probably just me, although I hope not. I notice you’ve picked up several blogrollees from me along the way.

Just remember us lowly flappy birds when you get to be a higher being.
