The site is going from strength to strength!

Internet overlords Alexa keep a track of traffic and readership of websites, ranking domains against each other in some form of popularity contest. Big dogs Yahoo!, MySpace, Google and YouTube tend to come out on top, whereas normal websites tend to leave a puddle in the corner, lolling around the high millions.

I used to be one of those weedy guys, happy with never getting attention and not getting my nose broken. Nowadays, though, I like to get in there and mix it up a little. I’ve put my personality on the line – I’m not afraid any more. The big corporate bullies might snarl at me, but I stand proud, for I have improved my Alexa rank by half a million places.

Yes, we’re not talking an incremental increase here; I have gone from weak to sleek in a week. Granted I’m still at around 750,000, but I’ve broken into the top million websites in the entire world. PhilNewton.net and Sodaware.net are both in the top 500,000, with Sodaware pushing the top 250,000. This is awesome stuff!

My readership seems a little inconsistent, but it serves as a rough outline of who likes this place enough to subscribe. I’m grateful for every read, click and subscription – thank you!

If this is your first time, check out some of my Best Bits in the menu on the left, or scan the Archives for something eye-catching. New or old, Internet stranger or real-life chum, thanks for coming!

Oh yes, and make sure to stop by again before Friday for something I hope will be very exciting indeed
