I noticed a number of hits from Instapundit today, but not a deluge like a quick mention from Glenn Reynolds usually brings. So, I went to investigate and, lo and behold, I have a permalink on his page. I thought there would be a huge ceremony where one is presented with their Instapundit permalink, but instead it just appeared overnight as if it were always there. Perhaps it was always there. Perhaps Glenn Reynolds had foresaw my blog and had placed the link there even before I had started blogging, the link waiting there until I was finally ready. Such is the mystery that is Instapundit.
I am not so mysterious. I’m getting ready to update my blog roll and wonder if anyone else would like to be added and thus also become eligible for my prestigious Links of the Day. The cost is that you have to have a link to me on your page and then give me one human soul (doesn’t need to be yours). Most important, though, is to e-mail me.
Did Scott Ott of Scrappleface get one yet?
It doesn’t look like it. I don’t think anyone finds him funny.
Dude! A permalink on Instapundit will get you about 50 hits a day, every single day. It’s ridiculous.
I thought it was just a prestige thing, but, yeah, it actually does bring traffic by itself.
Goodie and congrats on the link. I now have 6 red link lines (sites I actually visit) that are listed there, one more than I had before you were added.
I can’t believe you only get 50 referral hits from there. I get that from you and Rachel combined. I think the same 50 people visit all our sites because there are only 500 people on the Internet. 50 read conservative and well-written humorous ones (like this one). 50 read liberal crap blogs. And the other 400 people visit porno sites and E-bay (like there’s a difference).
Ok, I find Scrappleface funny. hides behind a chair and erm, how do you know how many hits you get from each site?
So what WAS the top story of 2004?
