Conspiracy Factory: anniversary

Wednesday, February 6, 2008

Today is the Conspiracy Factory's 1st birthday.

If you'll indulge me, here are a few of *my* favourite posts from the last year:

On Quacks and Cancer

A Rushing River of Stupid

Colony Collapse Disorder

An Anecdote about Anecdotes

I am the Pinnacle of Evolution!

Pseudo-intellectual, John Tierney

Banned!

Fake Acupuncture - As Good as the Real Thing!

Photosynthetic Worms!

and the one that actually got me some hate e-mail:

Cause & Effect

Thanks to the folks who continue to read my blog. Blog traffic is still increasing, a fair number of folks return for multiple reads, and linkage is increasing. Let's keep going and see how this uncontrolled blog experiment turns out.

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).
