You've found a calling equal to your talents and intellect.

I will try to remember to make my online purchases through your portal. I'm a forgetful Old Dawg!; 2/21/13, 10:19 AM

I assume a "visit" based on IP address appearing in the server log during a given period and "pageviews" is visits to the particular page?; 2/21/13, 10:21 AM

KCFleming said...: Wowza.

I ordered the movie The Tree of Life via the Althouse-to-Amazon tag team.

I am fond of Terrence Malick films like The Red Line, and this one looks very good.; 2/21/13, 10:23 AM

Ann Althouse said...: "Clicking as fast as I can."

Well, that is the difference between page views and visits.

You have to go away for some length of time before your next click will be perceived as a visit.

Every time you click from page to page, like to go into a comments section, it counts as a page view.; 2/21/13, 10:29 AM

Not at all. What you're referring to is a blog swarm intended to destroy me that occurred in 2006 after I took a swipe at what was the emergence of the Hillary Clinton campaign and its effort to coopt bloggers.

Liberal bloggers decided I had to be hated, and that has suppressed my liberal readership ever since. I'm to be considered toxic and it's unfortunate, because I think they would enjoy a lot of what I'm saying.

The amazing thing is that so many conservatives continue to read me over the years, when I have disappointed them so many times -- voting for Obama (in '08), supporting ssm and abortion rights, etc. etc.; 2/21/13, 10:33 AM
Darrell said...: Congrats.
Something 99+% of bloggers will never see. For good reason.; 2/21/13, 10:34 AM
SteveR said...: Yes Ann, I was kidding you. That incident perfectly illustrated why you've been so successful, in my opinion.; 2/21/13, 10:39 AM
traditionalguy said...: Will you award the 1,000,000th page viewer an Althouse Coffee Mug with the motto, "the only sin is to be boring?"; 2/21/13, 10:41 AM
edutcher said...: No, it will have "The Conservatives' Lovable Liberal"; 2/21/13, 10:48 AM

Earned the blog $0.80. Thanks!; 2/21/13, 11:00 AM
Ann Althouse said...: "Yes Ann, I was kidding you. That incident perfectly illustrated why you've been so successful, in my opinion."

Thanks. I was more concerned with everyone liking me up until then, so it helped me in that it toughed me. I had to let go of the idea that no one could hate me. It was very liberating, and although it was unpleasant, it got me through a portal that I wished I'd crossed through when I was about 14 years old.; 2/21/13, 11:01 AM

Wow. Who knew? Many Conservatives can converse with someone even if they don't agree, wholly or in part. Progressive liberals of today cannot manage this in my experience. I the loudest shrieking drool spittle flinging rage over the simplest idea opposed to anything they want examples in my recent memory have been progressive liberals...aka the New Democrats.

So far I manage to read liberal viewpoints here, even when they piss me off, without running outside looking to slap somebody's momma. In some cases I think I've even managed to learn something from some of the liberals here. Yes, there are at least two liberal exceptions, and at least one pseudo-conservative Moby, who are pure horse-shit of the first order and never intend conversation, just recrimination.

Everybody needs someone to hate, right? Or at least wish they'd fall in a cess pool? :-)); 2/21/13, 1:27 PM

A good salon is a good salon. Or is it more like a speakeasy? With some really fine photography. (How can I be disappointed if I disagree with you about just about everything, not just your forays into "progressive" causes?)

And your blogging productivity blows me away. Thanks.; 2/21/13, 4:13 PM

And half of the left over half are mine.

Tosh. If you're liberal, you're one who isn't doctrinaire. And if you're conservative... well, same thing. You're a unique flavor.
