Wow! That's incredible. I usually get a trickle of visitors from comments I've left, but nothing to that extent! And you seriously don't sleep, do you?!

StevenHodson Ya I was pretty impressed because like you my previous experience with comment posting was pretty slime. However I think that if you write a really good post because of a creative spark from another blogger don't always count on trackbacks stop by and comment on their blog with a couple of lines why you think your post ties in and post the link.

If you connect to a post that turns popular like the one I commented on and/or is on a well respected and travelled site I beoieve you will see good results. As I said in the post though don't over do it and never leave fluff type comments if you are promoting yourself at the other blogger's goodwill.

As for sleeping .. due to health reasons my sleep patterns are pretty screwed :) so no I don't sleep much.

I think this is a great show! I agree that the conflict with his brother got annoying, but luckily things are getting better. Of course, with only two for sure episodes left, I hope they can give us some sort of conclusion.

I agree with Chris. I think Facebook thinks they are invincible. They need to tread carefully. Every "enhancement" they add just adds more privacy concerns.

in AdBlock: Why An Advertising Based Business Model May Not Scale Toward the Future on philcrissman.com
@Phill I agree. There is no "contract" that the readers must view your ads. Also, minimalist is the way to go for astetics, for sure. But Google states over and over (monthly, in my reports!) how if I include more ads in my page my click rate will increase. There is some truth to that, thus the large banner at the top of my site. But the line has to be drawn.

This is an interesting discussion that could go on many different tangents!

and in the above post, by "write" I of course meant "right". Wow, that's how cool I am...

I enjoyed your editorial. You make some nice points. I guess as a reader I feel I have the write to do whatever I want with my web browser. But, being a content publisher as well makes me see the necessity of ads. Yeah, they are annoying, yeah, some people go way over board and load the entire screen with ads. The way I deal with that is I just don't read those websites.

Having a website makes me understand and appreciate advertising more. Every once in a while, if I read a good post I'll even click on an ad or two as an anonymous "thanks". :) I guess it comes down to everyone's going to do what they want, but if the internet is going to maintain its position of commercial dominance, the ads better stay on.
