Shouldn't have bothered
I just spent the better part of 2 hours coding a referers sidebar so I can see who arrives from where on my weblog, and automatically link back to the people who so kindly forwarded someone to me. Admittedly, the link only lasts for 24 hours, but if I get a number of referrals from them, I'm sure it'll stay up there more. So it's been about 2 hours now, and .. er.. it's kind of still not saying anything. The saddest part of it is, of course, that when it does say something, it'll say "Google". In the meantime, I'm becoming painfully aware that the people who link to me get even less traffic than I do. I'll just keep talking to myself then. At least, according to my apache logs, I'm keeping dozens of webbots entertained.
