As you build all the pretty and fancy sites

[sarettah]

and install all the high bandwidth sucking blog and cm scripts. As you spend hours and hours getting all the little details just right, as you spend lots of bucks getting just the right content, as you spend 100 hours a week busting your ass trying to make it all work,

May I remind you: That a certain writer gets traffic like this:

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_....lukeisback.com (http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=&url=www.lukeisback.com)

from a site that looks like this:

http://www.lukeisback.com/

:headwall: :headwall: :headwall:

Worst part of it is that he has not a clue what to do with the traffic he gets :headwall:

[sarettah]

and for anyone out there getting pretty and fancy schmancy in mainstream projects, heres one for you.

This kind of traffic:

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_...rudgereport.com (http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=&url=www.drudgereport.com)

was produced by this:

http://www.drudgereport.com/

(and the help of Monica and Bill of course) :yowsa:

Yeah, but the fucker gets some traffic.

I was almost crying when he let the original lukeford site go for 15k, you talk about your penguins. damn.

That thing pulled in the traffic. Still gets quite a bit too http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_...ww.lukeford.com (http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=&url=www.lukeford.com)

No spam sent, no advertising all over the place and people just come to read his cut and pastes over and over and over again...

I don't put a whole lot of creedence in them either. But they can give you a general idea if the site is getting any significant traffic.

Plus the idea of Ford manipulating alexa is laughable, he can't manipulate the door handle on his home/van much less figure out how to spam alexa :yowsa:

Alexa holds no water with me either. For some though it's a must.
