A Contest

As of about five minutes ago, according to Sitemeter, I've had 4,942 visits to my site since it was rolled out in late September.

Granted, about fifty or so are the direct result of me being one of the top Google results for nude, nuder, nudist, and some weird combinations of those words with other words, my favorite being "working nude." Another easy fifty are due to my top ranking for all variations of "federal judge song."

I'm going to give some sort of award to the regular reader that comes closest to being the 5,000th visitor. Given my Google rankings, the actual winner will probably be some guy from Turkey looking for "nuding wrkg while federal judge song plays Al Sharpton."

The race is on. Pithy comments are appreciated, and required for a good prize.

Ohhhh, I love contests. This is very exciting. Congrats!

Dave said...

Thanks for stopping by. I went and checked. You are 4,948 and the first regular.

To give an edge as the first, I get about 30 to 40 visits a day, somewhat less on the weekends.

My guess is that five K will happen tomorrow.

Hey! I've written posts about nude people and don't get any traffic from nude-related searches. What am I doing wrong? It's my complete lack of Paris Hilton posts, isn't it?

Hey - Mrs. Pos here ... love both your site and your patronage to my darling Nigarian's blog ... I've made the fantastic decision to jump off of the virtual cliff and make myself be a part of this bleader world ... I just had to pop right on in an try and be a part of your wonderful contest. Keep up the good work and I look forward to many more posts and all the random reflections you have to share.

Dave -- I just did a search on "nuding wrkg while federal judge song plays Al Sharpton." Oddly, your site was the only one that came up. Strange.

Keith said...

So Dave...I'm back now after a week at camp with the teens. Nice contest man. What number am I? And most importantly, do I win?

Dave said...

As I said, weekends are slow for comments. I annoys me to no end that you all have lives, other than when you are slacking at work during the week.

Fermi, just search my blog for "nu" and you'll see what you need to do to get on the Google gravy train, so to speak.

Mrs. P., I'm making you an honorary regular reader for purposes of the contest. Look below to see how you're doing.

Hey P.,

You made me laugh, out loud, in my silent house. You're the leader so far in the enhancement contest. Oh, I just said pithy works? Well it was pithy, and making me laugh gets bonus points.

Keith, right to the chase are you? You haven't won, there's hope yet. Hope you had fun with the kids down south this week.

So, drum roll, 4,969. In Atlanta, it's 4:30 p.m. By usual statistics, this may not happen till tomorrow.

Thanks for playing.

And to the two of you that are Dads, Happy!

Cynthia said...

Do you serenade federal judges while in the nude? Hmmmmmm. Well, that's one winning strategy I haven't heard of. Keep on blogging, nude or otherwise.

What have I missed?

More importantly, have I won?

Close races ... I just love close races! I'm so very curious as to how you'll award the 5000th visitor ... a web link of a certian Alanta lawyer lip-syncing to that classy B.S. tune -- "Oops, I Did it Again" -- while wearing a rather sylish Spandex nude suit.

Seems awfully fitting and appropriate to your contest theme as establised from the onset ?!

;) Mrs. P

Dave said...

4,977.

SonjaB said...

What's the count? I can't stand the suspense...

Posol'stvo the Medved said...

Well, I'll keep checking back, but I'm not nearly competitive enough to try to win any of the prizes you have promised.

Come to think of it, we don't really know what we're playing for, do we? For all I know, the "prize" is ten years' worth of billing records that you've had festering in your basement...

Where's the small print on this sweepstakes anyway?

Monica said...

I'm thinking you aren't a dad because I haven't read anything about it on your blog but if I'm wrong I apologize. If you do serve in a dad or surrogate father capacity for children in any way...Happy Father's Day. :)

Monica said...

Oh, and I'm feeling about oh say...5000? :)

Keith said...

I'm feeling lucky today because it's Father's Day and I had a great day so far.

So let's hear it for numero 5000!

Dave said...

OK guys and ladies, the count, being that it's slow on weekends is 4,997 at almost six in the evening.

The prize now that Pos has called me on it, it's fifty bucks at Amazon or the choice of your site that takes major credit cards.

Race is on. Should close soon.

Dave said...

Fourteen ninety eight at Seven even. Someone win. Remember, you have to have a comment to get it. Monica, you are in C'ville aren't you?

Anonymous said...

Holy Crap Dave, Did I win? and if i did what did I win? How about a new Lob Wedge.

Anonymous said...

I fear I missed it by one.

Keith said...

I'm feeling even luckier now brother! But I'm afraid I may be too late. Be well and congrats to whoever wins!

Dave said...

Before I go to Sitemeter and find out, I'm reluctant to let Big Rick win.

Reason first, I have, well how many books of your'r do I have.

Reason second, and as I type it, I realize it is bogus, you read you just don't comment until your are, what incentivized?

Reason, three, that two quick comments, while not cheating, well.

Keith, my hopes are with you. Rick has more books than he knows what to do with.

I'll be back in a minute and announce the annonomous turkish reader of my "nuder" blog.

Dave said...

I'm conflicted, reader number 5000 was someone who came to the blog from Fermi's site, Cosmicat.blogspot.com, but, I don't think it was her, and more importantly, there was no comment.

I'm pretty much not giving the prize to Rick, you do understand, don't you? You get all the books you want when and if I finish them.

Keith, you're it. I swore you were in Arizona. Or, Sitemeter is messing up with the C'ville. TX.

Keith said...

Are you serious man? I am in Arizona. Gilbert AZ to be exact. It's in the far East Valley of the Phoenix Metro!

Dave said...

Yeah, I'm serious. You don't register on Sitemeter. But, you are the closest regular reader to 5K, thus you are it.

Since you don't register, that means I have at least, what 5,042 hits on the site?

Maybe I have to call off the contest. Kidding, you win.

fermicat said...

What? You have to comment every time? Aw, shucks. It might have been me, but I will graciously step aside for Keith.

Monica said...

Nope, I'm in sweet little ol' Texas, home of the Cowgirl.

Congrats to Keith and where do we chip in for this for the kiddos?

Dave said...

Monica,

That's great. I'll confirm with Keith that I can give you his address and then send you an Email. I assume it is in you Blogger Profile.

Dave.
