Yay! My baby took her first unassisted steps today.
Well, okay, I may have had an assist in there, but she got the goal all by her own self. I didn’t even notice till the second Gawker thread had 84 comments on it.
Previously, she’d been held up by my daily links from Ayyyy and the occasional act of charity from AgentBedhead, but this past week she’s gotten two links from CelebuWreck without my even begging or linkbaiting for them, so she’s starting to toddle along nicely for a baby, or so I thought.
Until today.
Until she hit a new high of 1662 1718 and counting, with 12.55 hours left in the day, thanks to the fact that (I think) Nick Denton doesn’t yet know I own lolebrity.
Referrer stats:
I’m unsure whether it’s good to get a ton of hits just before I stick ads on it, thus inflating my going rate, or get them just after, thus assuring the ad company and clients of my worth; do I feel guilty or clever? Ah, this is always my dilemma!
Also: Double Gawker Media Whammy! direct link from Defamer today, stuck waaay down at the bottom of the post and good for exactly zero hits so far. I didn’t even link to the NYT, for which I got the “via”; I linked to Valleywag. Is there a Gawker internal spat going on that I don’t know about? I GOT on Facebook; what more do I have to do to get in the goddam fucking loop? Eh? I ask yez.

Yipes! Lolebrity is actually 800 ahead of raincoaster.com at this point!

OMFG. That makes AB look quite pathetic. ;)

It’s only because the link is several days old. You know you’re always #1 with me.

Congrads! But what the hell is ayyyy.com? I guess I should click on the link. :lol:

It’s “Gently Making Fun of the Famous.” and it’s one of my paid gigs. I get paid to read gossip blogs! My sister is so jealous!

Good idea and good domain, this could really do well.

Thanks. The .com was taken, but it’s DOA. I figure everyone likes to make fun of celebrities, so even when the lolfad dies it’ll still have plenty of material.

OK, you read the celebrity stuff, and I’ll read the science journals.

Ah, been there, done that. The field hasn’t been the same since the Journal of Irreproducible Results went away.
