Riddle Me This, Batman...

Savinar (known to you as AMPOD) and I were bantering in a comment thread last week about TOD traffic stats. I brought up the fact that TOD is, according to The Truth Laid Bear, #155 in web traffic (measured in unique visits--for all of the sites TTLB tracks--and if we doubled our traffic we would barely crack the top 100), but #2189 in the number of temporary and permanent links to TOD (again--that TTLB can track) from others in the 'sphere. (noting also that technorati has a higher number of cumulative links).

I think one reason for this is that we haven't been around all that long compared to some of the more ancient sites, and we kind of missed the initial "blogrolling" phenomenon. The other may be that not a lot of the bigger blogs link to "niche" (or "controversial") blogs like this one.

The traffic number is really great, we're up there pretty darned high. But, any thoughts on this? Is this something we should work on?
