The Long Tail of the Blogosphere in Action

Unbelievable.

Despite having been snubbed by “big bloggers” for the past few months, my blog managed to creep up The Truth Laid Bear Ecosystem (TTLB) anyway.

A couple of months ago, I removed the TTLB code from my sidebar because I’d become too preoccupied with checking my ranking. Out of sight, out of mind, right? Well, sort of. I haven’t checked it since…October? Can’t remember. But curiosity wrestled with me this morning and won. Last time I looked, I was at #28 or #29, and that was after a few “big” links. I thought I’d be among the Playful Primates by now. I’ve had no big links in the past several months, but I managed to rise to #24. Still the top-rated black woman Christian conservative blogger. (I bet if I were the top-rated black woman agnostic liberal blogger, I’d get mucho press.)

I owe that to the long tail of the blogosphere, smaller and/or less well-known bloggers linking to LBC. Thanks, kids. :)

But as I said, I don’t focus on such things anymore. :?

By the way, this is not a repeat of this. Just thinking out loud…
