MAY REFERRALS

Borrowing a page out of Bill Quick‘s book, I have decided to start recognizing blogs that refer the most traffic my way with mentions on the sidebar. I’m going to do this on a monthly basis and, since it’s the best metric I have, I’ll use the logs provided to me by HostingMatters. I’m not exactly sure what a “page” constitutes, but it should be the same for everyone. I’ve excluded any site that isn’t a weblog from the list.

While the month isn’t officially over until midnight, these stats are accurate enough.

The sites that sent at least 50 visitors my way this month:

Thanks to all.

(Also a to Joy for telling me to turn the stupid auto-spacer off in MT. It was doing all sorts of whacky things with my table.)

    Heh! I notice someone is not on the referrer list, while I am, and in fine company too.

  2. Yep. And it garners you two free links–one of which won’t go away until at least the end of June!

    I did my best, but I didn’t get 50 people to even hit my blog this month.

  4. Getting started can take a while, to be sure.

    Wow. I’m amazed I was so high. To be honest, I was looking from the bottom up to see if I made it. Of course, most of those are probably just me, although I hope not. I notice you’ve picked up several blogrollees from me along the way.

    Just remember us lowly flappy birds when you get to be a higher being.
