Conspiracy Factory: Traffic

Traffic

Mine is a small corner of cyberspace. I get around 75-100 readers every day, and I have readers who return here regularly. I enjoy that.

Every now and again I get linked by a carnival, or by Pharyngula, and they have had effects on my traffic. You can see those as the small blips above on my traffic graph (plotted since I started the blog in February).

On Sunday, I got linked to by reddit. Wow.

A Note About Google Ads

Google Ads seems to place the most obnoxious ads at the top of my blog. When I write a few posts about how acupuncture has been demonstrated not to work, it places an advertisement for acupuncture. When I write about creationist frauds, it puts up ads for creationist books (or more recently, for creationist movies).

I don't endorse these products. In many cases, I think it likely that the marketers are not only mistaken, but frauds.

I thought about taking these ads down, but instead, I'm leaving them there. I'm considering them an anthropology experiment for me, and my readers. It's a fascinating world out there. Feel free to comment on the ads and the products they are selling in the relevant posts.

I enjoy the irony that people like Ben Stein and Gary Null will be paying me to take Mrs. Factician out for a nice dinner (at current click rates, about once every 18 months).
