Your reasons for blogging were ever anything other than noble, Bill? Say it ain't so!

I've never had very many links listed in the TLB ecosystem, but I have to say I have noticed that the number seems to have fluctuated for no good reason. And it's quit recognizing links to me from Wizbang.

Hey, the Bear provides the service gratis. Quitcher whinin' and get back to your moonbat studies.

Bill, I love ya, but you're WAY too obsessed with your traffic.

As far as I'm concerned, the Ecosystem has never worked right... I haven't bothered looking at it in forever.

His traffic ranking page was much more accurate, but it only works for pages that have a public sitemeter... and it doesn't seem to be working at the moment either.

If you just want to count links, Technorati is much better than the Ecosystem.

Hey, I'm not obsessed, I just thought that the TLB was the main ranking system in the blogosohere. If so, when it screws you over it's noteworthy, right?

Also, I enjoyed moving up it ... you think I blog solely for the fun of writing? If any of us did, we wouldn't care if no one ever read our stuff, right? Why post it on the internet? just scrawl your precious thoughts on dried moose-hide and store the urban farmhouse archives in your attic.

I'm exposing the naked truth that the TLB is not a plausible outlet for goal-setting. It's a sham! Last post on the topic.

I just use my own stats as my guide to how my traffic is doing. I want a growing readership, but I don't much care how I'm doing in relation to other blogs.

Communist.

The latest update seems to have weeded out some (presumably bad) links. I've also been getting net increases in linkage over the past 2-3 days. Today, my TTLB linkage numbers took a hit, but my ranking edged up a little, as I would have expected.

So I think he weeded out some junk.

maybe, but I've still got 50-some-odd links MIA. I'm not going to pay attention to it anymore.

but the links only count if the person linking you is in the ecosystem.
I have many links that don't play, so none of them count....

I thought about that ... something worth looking at. But it would seem then that an awful lot of blogs don't bother to register ...

I don't know about Bill's links, but I've lost some links from blogs that are most definitely in the ecosystem. Wizbang, for one. All of them went *poof*!
