It’s a little alarming when you are scanning your inbound links in Typepad and see “www.CBSnews.com/stories”.
After you finish the article you are relieved you didn’t see a quote like “Oliver Sacks has been criticized by many, including this cow here with her B.A. in English.”
Did you just lose ALL respect for CBS news when you saw my blog under “Related Blog Posts” directly across from Katie Couric’s blog? What are they thinking?
I figure soon I’ll be getting comments from Katie, and she’ll be all “So did you get many hits from the CBSnews link?” and I’ll be all, “No, only five, and two were me and one was my Mom.” And Katie will be all, “Yeah, CBS news sucks. How do you increase traffic on your blog?” and I’ll be like “Well, Katie, do you have a vibrator? Or, toes are great for bringing in the hits.” And Katie will write “Maybe I can post the link to my colonoscopy video” and I’ll reply, “Hey Katie, did your colonoscopy affect the way you decorated your bathroom?”
=====================
UPDATED:
Number of hits from CBS news – still five.
Number of hits from the Riverfront Time’s link: seven, respectable, and thanks for taking the bait even though you declined my offer.
Number of hits from I SWEAR TO GOD THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: six! So far! These Sphere people are nuts.

Heheh. Beavis, she said vibrator!And your google stats just had an embolism. (Jenny – you know, from kansas, because Typekey is weird…)
Also, did I tell you? Last week I was digging through an old box of CDs and found…wait for it…GORDON. With the original cover. and I thought, Oooh, the Queen would love to hear this!
See, the next question is how many hits you’ve gotten from the CBS link? and any new victims to your majesty’s blog?
“After you finish the article you are relieved you didn’t see a quote like “Oliver Sacks has been criticized by many, including this cow here with her B.A. in English.” That’s one of my secret fears: that I’m going to piss off a “famous” somebody via my website.
I love that you mentioned toes, vibrators, and bathroom decorations in the same paragraph as Katie Couric. She should be so lucky that you would give her advice on how to increase blog traffic. Maybe you should give me advice on how to increase blog traffic…maybe I should just update more:)
Wow. I am in awe. Keep it up and I’ll have to move you to my “fame” category! 😉
Can I have your autograph?
I wonder why you’re not in the “Recommended” column. That’s pretty awesome. I’m going to start linking randomly to a bunch of CBS news stories.
It looks like you got plenty of hits to make up for my lack of participation since being in client quarantine.We’ll have to keep an eye on Katie’s column to see if she takes your advice.
Geez, if you make The Guardian or The Daily Mail websites, you are going to be hell to work with.

Hey, keep looking and let me know if you have any cassettes, in particular the famous Yellow Tape.Friend #3 – No, yawn, just CBS NEWS AND THE FREAKING WALL STREET JOURNAL.Kathy – I know.
