I Got Ranked

Today I got an email from a site called Blog-Rank.  They rank blogs according to category and they say that my blog is 39.  THIRTY NINE!  That's pretty good.  I don't know all that much about the site or what that ranking really means but whatever, I'll take 39.  (update:  I looked again tonight and I'm down to 136.  awwww... Whatever.  I'll still take it.)  I got interested in this ranking business and I saw that one of the things that Blog Rank takes into account is a site's Alexa rating.  I never heard of it before so I looked up where I rank on Alexa: 9,569,300.  (Google is number one.)  That makes 136 sound pretty good!  (On the "Sarah's Parents Official Blog Ranking" I'm NUMBER ONE, right Mom and Dad?)

Anyway, I told Kira about it and she said, without even cracking a smile, "The only reason your blog is funny is because of me."  I cracked up laughing and I hate to admit she is probably right.  She is one of the funniest people I know, and if I didn't have her to exploit, my blog wouldn't be all that funny.  So thank you, Kira dear, for our moderate success in an arbitrary ranking!



We're Number ONE! hundred and thirty six

    I don't know. I'm going to say it's probably about 800 million.

    Wait...how long ago did you submit that ranking? I was just looking at the site and it said there's an 8-12 month wait on rankings. That sounds...weird.

    I probably submitted my blog to Blog Rank on a lark a long time ago and forgot about it. As far as Alexa goes, I think after 5 million, it's a billion-way tie. I'm aiming for 4,999,999.
