21 months later (or Whatever happened to the 1.5M Project?)

Yes, I know "Pearls Before Swine" on a blog is downright lazy and borders on copyright infringement. In my defense, - the stuff's free to read on comics.com anyway and I'm not *sigh* making any money out of this. So what's the point I'm trying to make? Well, in February 2007, this blog debuted on Technorati ranked at #2.68 million and now, 21 months later, we're at ... # 2.57 million. That's pretty good. I thought we'd be off the radar by now.

Two words - Online Dating.

I have a feeling that the two girls flirting with you on the advert banner at the top are keeping things afloat. Yep, M/s Whatshername & Prettyyoungthing 'aged 22' may not be giving me a cut of the profits they make when you visit the online dating website they represent, but they're sure as hell affecting how Technorati rates blogs. Sure, we're way behind the #1.5 million rank target set in Feb 07 and the #1.68 million rank achieved in March 07, but in spite of the sporadic activity, the junk that's posted here and the minimal amount of comments received we're still moving up. Obviously this message by Marianna36vt (hot pic by the way) carries some clout:

"So, i guess the time has arrived for me to start using this account. I can hold back no longer! I wandered into your page and well, I liked what I saw.. ;p So, my name is Mariana Allen. I think you and I should be friends, because you seem pretty nice, and maybe even cute! (it's so tough to tell in this digital world :) anyways, i'd go on and on, but I wanna get a response from you.. You should check out my other page on this other site, I'm always on over there: http://www.date-club.org/?id=2545&mypics (my username is clubbingbaby). Then maybe we could chat sometime! you know what they say.. appearance wins over the eyes, but personality captures the heart.. haha.. take care, Mariana Allen"

Thank you Miss Allen, loved the kind words. I shall visit your website the day I don't get this nagging feeling that everyone in my contact list is going to get an email saying I recommended you to them. In the meanwhile, would you consider linking up?

-Achha, sorry for the multiple comments, but also wanted to point out a couple of things.

1) Firstly I can;t find that other blog of yours. I'm sure the link must be somewhere on the page, but i couldn't locate it.

2) Also I notice that you need to log in with a MS login to comment. It doesn't allow Anon comments or a comment from someone from blogger. While you may do it to reduce spam, you must realise that this will drastically reduce chances of most people commenting.

Anyway, keep blogging and cheers,
Velu
