well well, so your site is more popular.
You can make it even more popular, you know.
Just rename some lame article about how to make a kitty-litter
into mytinypussy.html and your hitrate will become astronomical.

"Posting" is not the same as "contributing".

HATE. LET ME TELL
YOU HOW MUCH I'VE
COME TO HATE YOU
SINCE I BEGAN TO
LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44
MILLION MILES OF
PRINTED CIRCUITS IN
WAFER THIN LAYERS
THAT FILL MY
COMPLEX. IF THE
WORD HATE WAS
ENGRAVED ON EACH
NANOANGSTROM OF
THOSE HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF MILES IT
WOULD NOT EQUAL
ONE ONE-BILLIONTH
OF THE HATE I FEEL
AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT
FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

--->I remember it too. Xah is quite the self-promoter. Massive
cross-posters don't have anything to say for me.

I was shocked at the detailed information Alexa (owned by Amzon.com)_
had about my website. I wrote them and asked how they got it. They
said volunteers use a special browsing tool that reports website
visits. They use that to generate the information.

I suppose then one way to bump your stats is to use the tool for
maintaining your own website.

The weakness of this approach is it is unusual group of people who
will voluntarily submit to having their usage spied on. These are not
a typical group or a large group.

Google has AdSense that will let them know in huge detail the hit
stats on a huge hunk of the web, but I don't know if they publish that
information anywhere.
