Sometimes that sitemeter thing does strange things. A while back I noticed somebody fairly high in the rankings (around 30), and there were about 10 different blogs tied with exacatly the same daily hit numbers. I got somewhat suspicious, so clicked on them. It turned out the fellow had 10 different blogs all containing the same material and using the same sitemeter. So the rankings assumed it was 10 different blogs, and listed each of the 10 blogs, even though most of the traffic just went to one of them.
I pointed this out, and the problem was resolved.
And (as you might imagine) it turned out the use of 10 blogs was a ploy to boost Google search rankings.
Oh, too bad. I was going to ask if you could write a post about my savings account...

*Snort!*
It is reassuring to see Kos grinding Instahack into the mud, though.

Still no 1. Getting funnier and funnier.
