It's not that the Instapundit "kno...Heh... It's not that the Instapundit "knows" me, it's that on my post I said I had followed an Instapundit link and that's what led to the image. Either Glen googles his own blog name, or else other people email him when they think something is of interest to him. One thing I have learned about most of the top bloggers is that they all seem to have a healthy amount of self-regard.<br /><br />I get about 600 - 700 hits a day on most days. I've had links from other sites than Instapundit and have had similar hit spikes in the past. But about 80% of my hits are from people searching for photos of some of the females I've posted, most notably Angie Dickinson. I get a couple hundred hits each day from people searching on variations of "Angie Dickinson". The vast majority of those hits look at the photo and leave. It's very rare that anyone goes to any other post.<br /><br />When I first started blogging I was on the blog hamster wheel, I was posting dozens of posts per day, and I was watching google and technorati and other blog search engines to see what I should post on for the day to maximize my search results. I managed to get my blog pretty far up in the blog rankings (relatively) but it was not me. I was forcing it and eventually I decided that I didn't start blogging to challenge Instapundit, I started blogging to give me an outlet for my commentary and a chance to save that for posterity. I'm just egotistical enough to think that someday my kids will read through my blog as a sort of archeology of my life. That's a major reason I started the "True Life Stories" posts. I'm mostly doing that stuff for them. Or so I tell myself.CosmicConservativehttp://www.cosmicconservative.com/weblognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193860341876403275.post-8524137075291648332010-01-04T18:38:29.687-06:002010-01-04T18:38:29.687-06:00Sigh.
