I’ll admit that I used to follow my Technorati ranking closely, making sure that it was constantly heading toward that #1 spot.

Not that it was ever going to get to #1, but you get the idea. My goal was initially to crack 100,000. Then 50,000 and 25,000 before I finally broke the top 10,000. Not bad for a personal blog, I figured.

After getting below 100,000 at the start of the summer, I figured that it would take me another three months to break 50K, and three more after that for 25K. So, Labour Day and New Year’s. Turns out I hit ~49,000 within about 2 weeks. I wasn’t really doing anything differently, but the number kept getting better and better, until it stalled somewhere around 46,000.
