Weird search hit of the week, vol. 4

Dr. Frank N. Furter keeps reeling in the unsuspecting but, this week at least, my post in which he’s featured might have been exactly the kind of post being sought by the reader behind this week’s weird search hit of the week:

forced to wear a thong

var addthis_pub = ‘deucegeary’;
var addthis_brand = ‘The Skepticrats’;var addthis_language = [...]

Weird search hit of the week, vol. 3

Weirdest search query that led someone to my blog last week:

black people wedgie

The reader behind last week’s weird search hit may not have been too disappointed, even though the resulting hit was no doubt not what he was expecting. This week . . . disappointment city. No black people except a mention of Obama, and [...]

I am a Rule 2 delinquent

Posting’s been light lately because my web host can’t seem to solve some server problems they’ve been having for at least a week. Some days, I have not been able to access the blog at all. I’m really fed up and may be changing hosts this week.
I also won’t be posting much original content this [...]

Weird search hit of the week, vol. 2

Thanks to a nudge from Clifton B., the blogger at Another Black Conservative, I won’t get off schedule in only my second week of this series. So, here’s the weirdest search query that led someone to my blog last week:

methods of panty torture

Usually,  I can guess the post that the reader reached through the search, [...]

Weird search hit of the week, vol. 1

Like many bloggers, I am obsessed with my traffic (or lack thereof, depending on the week). The Wordpress statistics page tells me what search terms brought hits to my blog. Some of them are quite bizarre, and I’m prettty sure the reader was disappointed when they got to my blog, as the post the search [...]

What the hell is Price-Stats.com and why is it linking this blog?

I’ve been getting about 5-10 hits a day the last week or so from Price-stats.com, which appears to be some kind of retail portal similar to Nextag. The page I get linked from is this:

The text at the top says:
This list ranks the sites that are sending traffic to Price-Stats.com. It resets every 24 hours. [...]

I have a special Rule 5 motion to make

I hereby move that there be no picures of Maria Belen Chapur allowed in any Rule 5 posts this week. Or ever. And that goes for anyone else’s “other woman.”
Just in case anyone’s thinking about it.

var addthis_brand = ‘The Skepticrats’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, [...]

Eloquence from The Anchoress

I’ve read a lot of news stories and blog posts about yesterday’s shooting at the Holocaust Museum. Only one gave me a lump in my throat.
Thank you, Anchoress.

Create-or-save-a-palooza

As I noted in an update to a previous post, Pundette is rounding up the best “create-or-save” examples around the blogosphere. (Background here and here.) If you run across any good ones, email Pundette the links at pundette at gmail dot com.
As for me, I’m up late working. But I figure I’ll be OK tomorrow, [...]

A lowlight for the blogging right

I blog under a pseudonym. So I take special note of the recent outing of the anonymous liberal blogger “Publius” by Ed Whelan at National Review’s Bench Memos blog. Publius turns out to be a law professor, and Whelan uses this to ridicule his wish for anonymity:
In response, I received . . .  an e-mail [...]

What the heck is the theme around here?

By “theme,” I mean the Wordpress theme or blog template, which I had to change after I did so much tinkering on the last one that I made it unusable. It wouldn’t let me update to the newest version of Wordpress and, ultimately, stopped displaying sidebars and anything more than the latest post.
So, I ditched [...]

Rule 5 Sunday: Audio Edition!

I said last week I’d try to do something different with Rule 5 from time to time, and here’s my first attempt.
Everyone has different tastes, and notices different things. Legs. Eyes. Whatever.
One of my things: voices.
So here’s to three ladies with terrific voices. The three are very different from each other, but I like ‘em all. Oh, and, [...]

You couldn’t pay me enough . . .

So Meghan McCain utters her latest — this time giving us a lesson in bad manners rather than bad politics — and Allah figures its going to generate so much blog coverage that she’ll be forced to deny it. And just so he’s ready to cover that, he subjects himself to a torment beyond words. [...]

I stand with Moe on Rule 5, but maybe for a different reason

Image via Wikipedia

Moe Lane, that is.  I’m not much of a Rule 5 guy either.(For those of you not following that link, Stacy McCain’s Rule 5 for generating blog traffic is to post cheesecake photos.)
OK, there’s this. But Rule 5 is not a regular feature around here. And you have to admit today’s contribution (right) [...]

I hate it when work interferes with blogging

I am one of the 99.999% of bloggers who cannot live off his blog.  Of coure, that would be true even if my traffic were 1000 times what it is, since I don’t have advertising . . . yet.
So to put food on the table, I’ve actually been working. My wife and daughter are most [...]

Rule 1, illustrated

Rule 1 in “Roadhouse” Stacy McCain’s guide on “How to get a million hits on your blog in less than a year” is Shameless Blogwhoring, which he introduces thus:
I’m amazed that Instapundit, Michelle Malkin, Ace of Spades and the Hot Air crew haven’t declared a fatwa against me for the way I relentlessly fill their inboxes with blogwhoring e-mails like Arnold Horshack trying [...]

A dream fulfilled: The Skepticrats labeled “a bigoted right wing nut site”

As they might say at HotAir . . . finally.
Of course, I wish the charge came from some big time leftie blog instead of a discussion forum on a site that calls itself “your source for the paranormal,” but I’ll take what I can get. There’s actually a little back-and-forth in the forum over what [...]

I don’t care what they say, there’s no such thing as a “Code Pink Cutie,” and why conservative women are inherently more attractive than liberal women

Someone please track down Uncle Jimbo and the guy in the Blackfive video and slap them back to reality. They seem to think that the young Code Pinko’s Blackfive interviewed are “cute.” Let’s get this straight: for a conservative, there should be no such thing as a “Code Pink Cutie.”
Let’s start with the girls in [...]

My fastest blog post ever

Well, it’s not really this post that’s fast.  It was the writing.
On the advice of The Other McCain.
Based on this result, I’d say my methodology still needs tweaking.
But I have a lot to overcome.

var addthis_pub = ‘deucegeary’;
var addthis_brand = ‘The Skepticrats’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, reddit, live, [...]

Congrats to Robert Stacy McCain on his one millionth blog hit . . .

Celebrating reaching the Sitemeter milestone of one million hits on his young blog “The Other McCain,” McCain offers some characteristically witty advice for generating traffic.  Since I’ve fallen a little over 995,000 hits behind R.S.’s pace, I read his post closely, and here’s the advice that really struck me: ”Write stuff people might want to read.”
Now he [...]
