A Very Cool Statistic

Published on September 23, 2004 By Gideon MacLeish In Blogging

I decided to do a little googling today and entered the words "libertarian blogs". That my blog didn't appear on the first page of links was not terribly surprising; it's a huge internet, and many Libertarians have realized that blogs are a very viable medium for advancing the message of the Libertarian Party. Undaunted, I went to page two, expecting to continue on down and find my blog buried in the La Brea tar pits of forgotten blogs, but found it nicely perched at number 19.

19's not too bad. There are many web surfers who will go on to the second page of a search, so not only can I live with that, I'm actually a little stoked.

signing off,

You never cease to amaze me.
Honestly. I don't know where you come up with some of these creative ideas. I would have never thought of looking on Google for my blogs in a million years.
Hell! I'm happy if I get to #19 here in JoeUser.

You've got way too much time on your hands.
We are definitely going to have to find you a, real job, to make better use of your creative mind.

Congratulations Gid!

You're one of the main reasons I continue attending here - I appreciate your viewpoint, and especially that you look at things outside of the mainstream - like the Libertarian Party!

OK, ... I'll ask:

Did the temp work pan out to getting a job with the Canadians? Did you hound them and hound them about how serious you are about working for them?
I'm curious Gid, coz I wish nothing but the best for you and yours, and want you to succeed.

- back in the day before Google changed the way they index blogs, you could type in 'Relationship Advice for Girls' and my blog would be the second item on google...

those were the days...
