Charts & graphs & reports, oh my!
So I just looked over the page where my Number One Internet Fanboy keeps the stats on all the different sites he hosts. If I’m reading it right - and I’m not altogether certain that I am - this blog gets something like 600-ish requests for pages per day.
I actually have no idea what that means. And hey, if ignorance isn’t bliss, I don’t know what is.
Wow, this has been a phenomenally boring post. Go read this, and don’t think someone just makes this shit up - my beloved Geoffrey has dealt with very similar situations in his job. (Well, I have too, but they weren’t as funny.)
As a veteran of many years in customer service, I can attest to the fact that truer words than this were never spoken: “Customer service is the black and dismal realm of helplessness, rage, fear, greed and abysmal stupidity.”

And a metric buttload of those hits are from people looking for the lyrics to that one song you posted, way back when… wow. How does it feel to be a niche star on Google’s walk of fame?

Yes indeedy, much of my readership comes from people who (like me) Googled the lyrics to “One Hundred Years” but who (unlike me) didn’t see fit to then stick said lyrics in their blog for posterity and (apparently) more-impressive web stats. *sigh* Do ya think if I put lyrics up whenever I have a new favorite song, it will drive up the traffic even more? I swear, I should post the lyrics to “Oceano” by Josh Groban (since they’re in Italian).
