On the one hand I get a warm fuzzy feeling when I get new readers (as I'm sure anybody does, really). But on the other hand, one time I got a huge number of hits over a couple of days. I'd been linked to by a ridiculously popular blog but was clueless and didn't know where all those readers were coming from. I panicked so thoroughly I almost deleted the entire blog. <BR/><BR/>And that was when I realized I was obsessed with staying small. There are way too many people I do not want to accidentally find my blog.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I don't know what readers here consider a 'huge number of hits.' In my case it was over 500 hits an hour, up from about 30 a day at that stage. It was totally shocking.<BR/><BR/>(It did not last. The link was only to one post, which I think I might have deleted when I moved blogs a few years ago, and anyway the effect did not last.)Badaunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13421084688117792172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188417.post-75595530029960744992008-04-10T09:19:00.000-05:002008-04-10T09:19:00.000-05:00I tend to dislike bloggers who are insanely obsess...I tend to dislike bloggers who are insanely obsessed with becoming huge - I think I feel the same as you, happy with the little gang of people who come through the site and comment, the occasional legal threat and odd obscene message.<BR/><BR/>Of course that doesn't mean I hate it when I get a traffic spike or when I'm doing ok in some popularity contest...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188417.post-20317921728056735472008-04-08T15:04:00.000-05:002008-04-08T15:04:00.000-05:00Of all those blogs, I think the only one I've real...Of all those blogs, I think the only one I've really read is the COnsumerist.

So I think it is relatively easy to just rank all of the blog based on the links to it.<BR/><BR/>Of course my rank doesn't reflect my dynamic personality or my charming blog layout. But I think of these things as just bonuses anyway. :)Ookami Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10396649763195640076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188417.post-45985633486879285382008-04-08T11:38:00.000-05:002008-04-08T11:38:00.000-05:00Sounds like you just need a little elbow grease to...Sounds like you just need a little elbow grease to move you up a few hundred thousand spots.<BR/><BR/>Technorati really ranks that many blogs?Verdant Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139591223231428391noreply@blogger.com
