Beating One’s Best Record

I have a few things to be raving about my two blogs this week. I have beaten my top hits for the other blog and though Google hasn’t yet returned my previous PR2 value, more bloggers are linking to me. And who cares anyway.

StatCounter hits for kotsengkuba.com

Nothing much to be said about the returning hits because most of our readers out there are using dynamic IP so tracking them altogether is not possible. And this site, having been existing for just two weeks, is already building a little bit of traffic and a few link loves form other sites.

StatCounter hits for serialblogr.com

Nothing to be proud of, I believe but stats are still stats and I hope to have more of that in the future. And just about yesterday, Serial Blogger was approved in the BlogRush community. I like the BlogRush widget because it shows the actual post titles from the bloggers in the community unlike MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog which only shows thumbnails of the passers-by. It seems my BlogCatolog hasn’t been approved yet so there are no thumbnails showing up.

Okay, much for todays ravings. Let’s try a few link baits and join a few contests running out there. Here’s a few:
