WE'RE NO. 31! WE'RE NO. 31!
It's funny what you find when you scan your blog traffic.
Got a hit today from a reference at FindAnIsp.com, whatever the hell that is.
Oh, wait, here's their self-description:
This is a general purpose search engine. The goal is to produce the highest quality search results based on concensus of other web sites.The database behind this search engine was developed starting in 1996 in order to develop the FindAnISP database, but the techiques we used have broader usefulness.
The way in which this database is different from the big guys is that our objective is NOT to index every page on the WWW - only the best ones. We don't need 1000s of servers and huge amounts of bandwidth, phd's and complex algorithms. Our belief is that most of what most people want to find is contained on a relatively small number of web sites.
Okay, Elroy. Whatever you say. It's not exactly Google, is it?
Anyway, it showed under the header of Hard To Describe Top 100 that Side Salad was No. 31. With a bullet.
What entry does it display? The Calendar of Disturbing Santas with the leather Santa, of course:
It's this kind of recognition a boy dreams of when he starts a blog.
