frank, Steve is giving Conservative Cave a lot of free advertising, he has a screenshot of CC in his post, can you tell me has traffic increased? or decreased since he's been doing that? just wondering if his advertising our site is an asset? or liability?
It's hard to tell; there's been an upswing in traffic, a little higher than normal for this time of the year, the past couple of months. Much of this new traffic has come from the Omaha-Council Bluffs metropolitan area, which of course includes Bellevue. (There's a little under a million people, total, in this area.)
But whether that's friendly traffic (decent and civilized people) or hostile traffic (the primitives), one can't tell.
I consider the big guy advertising conservativecave an asset.
But like my good friend USA4ME, I sort of regret that the primitives found out that we exist. When they weren't aware they had an audience, they acted naturally primitival, without inhibition. But now that they know, the primitives are somewhat, uh, more guarded and reserved, which is too bad.
As mentioned many times, Margaret Mead had this problem too; people act naturally when they aren't aware someone's studying them, but once they become aware, they "adjust" their conduct away from being their natural selves.
But.....excresence happens; the primitives discovered us.
And so yeah, to make lemonade out of lemons, sure, it's good for the big guy to advertise us.
