Some time ago, my brother-in-law urged me to enroll in a website tracking feature sponsored by a search engine. I followed his advice, thinking I’d soon be getting e-mails cataloging the thousands of hits to my site and warning me about bandwidth restrictions. Well, I haven’t received that e-mail yet, but I did receive an e-mail announcing that my website was number 2 on the Yahoo search engine and number 5 on Google (based on a search of websites with the same or similar names).
Again, it’s not much—I mean, the name is somewhat unique—but I diid finally manage to beat out a certain Alaskan fishing retreat with a similar name.
All in all, it’s better than a stick in the eye.
