Deadlines Beckon
. . . so it'll be light posting today. In the meantime, check out all the bitchin' sites on my blogroll (most of it's on the left sidebar, but the Watcher's Council members are listed on the right sidebar).
And, above all, be good.

This week. Probably within about 48 hours.
Not that, you know, I keep track.
I mean, this is art for art's sake; why on earth would I need an audience?

Good for you. We started at roughly the same time and you're a scoche ahead of me. :-)

There are people who started around the same time (and a few, after) who just shot up past me in a hurry. But some of those people succombed to the dreaded Blogger Burnout, and my numbers have been mostly climbing (except for Nov/Dec).
So, I figure: marathon. Not sprint.

Miss A.,
What's the prize for being 50,000th customer? Or do I have to wait for 1 million?

The prize is, you get invited to buy a juicy blogad from me! So not only can you be a reader, but an advertiser as well! It'll make you feel
special.

Congratulations! I'm closing in on 30K, which includes the stats (~1500) from my old Blog*spot site. I started in October 2003, so you're really doing great.

Now That I'm Over the Slump
I should point out that, as a mid-level blogger, I'm the perfect place to advertise if you're just starting out (or have a low-key blog you'd like to publicize more effectively).
I get a decent amount of traffic, which isn't just my core readership but a resonable number of heavy hitters who stop by on at least a weekly basis. (No, that doesn't include Glenn Reynolds, but you'd be surprised how well a person can do without getting any Instalanches whatsoever.)
I'm back up to 500+ hits a day, now that the post-election and holiday slumps are over with. I'm still small enough, however, for ads to be really cheap ($10-$20/month, depending on my stats at the exact moment you buy the ad).
Keep in mind that if you do want to run an ad, an image, photo, or icon (some kind of artwork, no matter how simple) will likely make it more effective. So try to have that ready when you get started. And I've been told that it's easier to find me in the Blogads system by going through my existing adstrips, rather than trying to find me on their site. (Go to the right-hand sidebar, and find "I've wanted to sell out all my life," or [further down] "Advertise here.")
We now return you to your regularly scheduled less-overt—understated—ad-whoring and link-whoring. Which means I can take off these fishnets and high heels, now, and get back into my corduroys. Yay!

I'm still waiting for campaign ads for Mahmoud Abbas.

Me too! His guys are pretty slow on the update, there. We'd both be just perfect for him. (Especially you.)

When you are back to zero ads, e-mail me and I'll come up with a silly one to buy.
I've been wanting to make an "Instapundit - Because I don't get enough readers, and as a law professor I have a fragile ego." ad.
