Jefflion: Proud to be an outsider

No, I don’t mean on “life is shit, I hate everybody” EMO type of outsider.

I’m talking about this website and its traffic rankings. Unlike SOME people, I’m not ashamed to admit that my site is not TEH most popular place on the internet. And I used to talk about butt donations, chick lit, drunken Eddie Vedder and anal sex. (no, wait, that was Sigg3). I don’t know what’s going on, really. Maybe not updating for 3 months has something to do with it?

So, here are jefflion’s traffic stats, according to alexa.com and wordpress stats. I usually get about 7-10 unique (unique!) hits a day. If I update, I might (or might not) get 12-15 unique hits! I have no idea how many people visited this site since its opening, September 12th 2007. On the other hand, I know I have two regular visitors, which means around 20% of hits come from returning visitors! Thanks, guys, you know who you are! (Both of you.)

According to Alexa, Jefflion has a traffic rank of 5082725. That’s only 5082724 places worse than Yahoo!

According to the same source, most of my visitors (66.7%) come from Philippines.

FAQ: Is Alexa traffic ranking reliable?
Answer: I have no idea. I always thought Google, not Yahoo had the best traffic ranking. So, anything is possible.

Lists: Screwed up

Guess what happened 30 seconds ago? I realized all lists (ordered and unordered) on this site are screwed up (text is centered uuuuugh… Ugly!) Why didn’t you tell me about it? Why didn’t I realize it before (about 4 months ago)??!?!?!

I guess that’s another thing to put on my “dva du” (2 do) list. That’s right, I’m NOT fixing the crap right away, I’ll do it… later. I promise.

EXAMPLES!!!! EXAMPLES!!! EXAMPLES!!!!
