Some time during the night, GTP enjoyed its 15 millionth visit. It could be argued that’s proof some of us need a life (probably starting with yours truly), but all I can say is thanks very much for continuing to show up here.

Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

As someone who tries to blog (occasionally), I feel qualified to say your dedication, output, and quality of content are off the charts remarkable. You should get one of those McDonalds signs to mark your blog hits. Well done, sir.

My congrats as well, Senator. You never get enough credit for the effort combing the interwebs for material of daily interest to so many. The regular group you have visiting is a Cheers-like collection of characters….with blinders on of course.
One question about how “hits” are tabulated, if someone comes to the site and interacts with multiple posts, are they each counted as a hit? Or do they only count each time someone enters from another site on the web? To clarify, if I read 5 different subject posts, is that 5 hits? And if I sign one and visit the site 3 times a day, does each count as a hit? Just curious as to how the number is arrived at. I always assumed it must be like the number of magazine and billboard impressions were counted in the old days for advertising costs/value.

My understanding is that every time you pop on to the site to look at something, that counts as a visit.

Make him meet you in JAX to get his rebate check Senator.
Follow up to my earlier question and your reply: so a visit to the site counts as one hit. regardless of how many times I change screens to read posts, comments, etc.? That makes sense, just trying to understand how they track it. Now, is a site compensated for being “well visited” and exposed to ads, only by the number of clicks on the ads themselves, or a combo (flat rate with bonus for ad clicks)?
LikeLike
I think it’s a combo.

I’ll do some ad clicks then, just to help out. 🙂

I can’t speak for this blog, but a lot of times if you click on a specific post it counts as a hit. So if I come to the general site in the morning, that’s one, then click on a story to read y’all knucklehead’s comments, that’s 2. But I’m wrong a lot.

“Knuckleheads, that may be racist Spence, we will have to wait for the PC Nazis to check on this. If it is ruled racist, the Senator may have to give some of that revenue earned by support from racists to Jesse and Al’s movement. They won’t worry about whether it is deserved, or not. I think you may be right on this though, when I come to the site, that is one hit, hitting a post then reading the comments and returning to the site is probably another. I do know that it is hard to get from the comments back to the list of posts, I often just re-hit the site again from my favorites list. That has to be an additional hit. Who knows, it goes to a good cause, I am sure.

It’s comments just like your second sentence that cause me to skip over 95% or your posts.
I hope that doesn’t cost the Senator money.
