So um . . .

it appears my review for THE SHADOW GOD has 25,708 views. Can that be right AT ALL???

Anyone ever heard of a typo like that just showing up in one month?

Me?

I hope not. There's a reason I titled that one The Worst Book Ever Written.

RE: Me?

Well, that's a phrase (your title) I'd imagine is typed into google fairly often. And doing so, your review is on the first page of hits. So I'm not surprised you're getting a lot.

But that many? That's surprising, especially if it happened in a short time. But perhaps google only recently indexed your review and started ranking it so highly for that search.

Congratulations, with one review you've had almost half as many hits as I've collected with my entire catalog of about 200 book reviews.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, I guess.

The Source

I'm almost positive the hits came about as a result of an LJ post last week mentioning my review. I just didn't think any site, even LiveJournal, would garner that many hits in a month. I mean, I tracked the hits on it and up until last month, I think it had about 130. Now, today, it's over 30,000.

That's just insane.

Not complaining, though.

???

The hits for this review have reached 60,000 for the month of April alone. Now that HAS to be some kind of glitch, right??? Even with a little outside help from an LJ post, sixty THOUSAND???????

RE: ???

I did a google search on the link, and found these results for blogs:

http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=9qZ&q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.epinions.com%2Fcontent_308312051332&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wb

So, you have five blogs linking to your review. That might boost things a bit.

Clearly, all the missing hits from all the other reviews on the site are being funneled into this one URL...

ULP?!?!

Funny thing is, with all those hits, the amount in the share hasn't gone up at all.
