650,000 Readers For One Post!

Got the happy news that the column I wrote last week, "How To Win The Nobel Prize In Only 12 Days"  was clicked on 650,000 times when it appeared on FoxNews.com!

It was in the top 10 most read pieces that appeared on Fox for last week.  Not bad since that website is ranked #40 in the US for Internet traffic by Alexa.com.

I knew the column was blowing up when I got the news that it was being cited in news stories (not opinion pieces).  For instance the BBC (ranked 45th in the WORLD by Alexa) quoted me in a news item called "US Media On Obama Nobel Award."

According to the BBC, this blog is "US Media."  I don't know whether that's a compliment or an insult.  I'm a blogger! Cutting edge.  Don't want to be lumped in with so called mainstream US media who hide opinions behind phony claims of objectivity.  Justified Right is more honest than that.

MSNBC quoted me in a piece called "GOP, Even Some Liberals, Dismiss Obama's Prize." 

So according to MSNBC, I'm "the GOP."   Now if that were true, the GOP would be winning.

Actually I'm just having some fun with the BBC and MSNBC here.  I'm thrilled they quoted me and I'm happy to get the recognition.  Hope they do it regularly.

A google search on the title of my Nobel piece reveals it showing up on over 2,700 websites and search engines already.  People have reprinted the piece on their blogs by the thousands. 

Let me go out to my mailbox and see if any of them have sent me royalty checks........Nope!  Mailbox still empty.  I'm sure the checks are on their way though ;-)

The most fun of all the alerts I received about where Justified Right was linked has to be Wikipedia, in their entry on the Nobel Prize.

Since my piece is critical of the award (note that well - critical of the award, not the President) I'm sure some Wiki-Monster will go edit me out of the entry.

But it's fun to see while it lasts!

If only you had a dollar for each of those hits.

Congrats!

Please, don;t be so stupid as to assume that 650,000 people agree with what you have to say.

I only come to this site to read what I see as the ramblings of an insane bigot, have a chuckle then get on with the rest of my day.
