Some people have a pledge drive, but I’m going to have a readership drive. Increasing my readership is all part of my plans to become rich and famous (to the benefit of everyone). Obviously, anyone into blogs should already be reading mine on a regular basis, but there should be even more people out there who would enjoy IMAO. If you have ever laughed at anything on this webpage, then you owe me.
That’s right!
What you need to do is find ways to spread the word. Here are some ideas:
* Take your favorite posts and put them on as many internet bboard as you can with a link back to IMAO.
* Start one of those annoying e-mail chain letters where you need to send it to five friends.
* If it’s not illegal yet, make random calls to people during dinner time like telemarketers (when do telemarketers eat dinner?).
* Threaten people.
* Write letters to publishers demanding IMAO.
* Wear my t-shirt everywhere.
Whatever ideas you come up with, e-mail me about what you’ve done including what name you want to go by and URL if you have one and I’ll post the best efforts.
I also put up a poll to figure what the readership goal should be. Currently, I hover around 3,000 on an average week (more on weekdays, and then the weekend drags the average down). You can monitor my progress at the two links at the bottom of my sidebar. Keep in mind, for the Extreme Tracker, the average it lists is an average for the entire time I’ve had the tracker and thus includes back when I have four visits a week (i.e. even on days off, I get more traffic than my “average”). The Unique Visitors link is of more help because it will show how many visitors for the last twenty days. For the Site Meter, its average is based on just the previous week (and thus is low right now because of the holiday).
Now help me get more readers! This will be a big part of being a member of the exclusive make Frank rich and famous club, details of which I will put out later this week.
Bwa ha ha ha! If this readership drive goes well, soon the Puppy Blender will be begging me for a mention!
So you want more readers? An interesting concept. Other bloggers are simply doubling up their site meters and pretending to have more. I assume you won’t be satisfied with artificial results.
You could post that know your enemy ESD and try to get it onto slashdot… of course that might give you a little overkill on readers for a bit.
Here’s an accolade for everyone’s favorite IMW character.
Frank:
If I actually do a couple of these things, can you link me with your many links?
No moah. I ain’t goin to read no humor blogs no moah when I am drinking my medically prescribed
128 ounces a day. The laptop can only take so much and Dell has cut back their Indian tech support. What is a surfer to do?
I now have this site bookmarked, oh mighty leprechuan beater.
You’re like Milo Minderbender. What is good for Milo is good for everyone! Making Frank J. rich benefits us all! (how we’re not sure, but I’m a capitalist so I’ll go along with the idea.)

But what, I can only surmise

I think the Bartender has an idea for you…

Quick Links
I’m way behind in reading, and I made some inroads in catching up yesterday, but, naa, let’s face it – I’m behind. A few quick things of note around the blogosphere. Kate’s resumed Letter of the Day with “M” yesterday. M linkees, I’ll try to get to you…
MORNING ROUND UP
Well, it’s Tuesday, which is good since I couldn’t handle two Monday’s in a row. Unless they were holidays. But this one wasn’t so the point is kind of moot. In any case, here is your Tuesday morning round up….
I’ll be happy to link to more of your stuff (thus giving you more readership, natch) if you just BLOGROLL ME, DAMMIT!!! (grin)
Well, you certainly get more hits than I do… damn.
