  Thank You
Again I note, this blog sees its most traffic and is most profitable when I do absolutely nothing with it. That is not to suggest that it has any remarkable traffic or is profitable at all. It is only to recognize that by its own low standards of below mediocrity the blog's last few months have been remarkable. Specifically, somebody commented, somebody appeared to have read the whole blog one day, and somebody clicked through three ads increasing the blogs revenues by 60%. That's practically "cue the parade" time for a crappy blog.

The comment thing...maybe I'm getting fooled on. I've been fooled before with stuff like this. I used to get emails that read, "You're blog is interesting. Come read mine.". At first I thought they were legit. Then I realized they were spam. You only have to get fooled on spam once and you end up not so critical of your grandma when she gives a bank CD to a Nigerian prince.

The big traffic day...I could be getting fooled on too. That one actually makes me kind of paranoid. At first I thought, "Hey! Check out all the page views! Somebody actually read this thing!" Then I asked, "Why?" When you're used to 2 or 3 page views a day at best, a 30 page view days gets you thinking. I'm thinking a lawyer. I've probably said something stupid that will generate either a "cease and desist" letter or a "to late, you're already screwed" letter.

The ad clicks...well it's not so remarkable when it takes you from a $1.50 to $2.40 on just 3 clicks. You can probably explain it away with somebody just fell asleep on their keyboard.

It would be remiss of me, though, not to acknowledge and thank anyone who may have actually commented, read the blog, or clicked on any of the ads. And if you are a Nigerian lawyer prince who fell asleep on your keyboard? Well, thank you too.
