is it seen this way? this + ~engagement~ were my primary metrics last time i was doing this stuff for a gig & nobody complained, but that could be because because nobody understood what i was supposed to be doing anyway.

Fader? FACT? Pitchfork? You know, you go all the way through to the really, um, editorially focused sites. You know, Collapse Board and these message boards. Um, ILM. You know, Pre-fix Mag. This just goes on and on and on. And…it just stretches everything way too thin.

and i blame you guys too cuz i never think of this stuff unless you guys bring it up. i think i'm really just still mad at him dissing lansing-dreiden. that's really what it's all about.

on a human level I sympathize with people who are sad and frustrated, but that doesn't license him to lash out at somebody else, and the gleeful wielding of the word "sunsetting" by a critic against a musician just reeks of free-floating resentimment against the object (Music) he supposedly is so passionate about. once you add in the homophobic animus that he pointed at ed, it's harder still to feel any sympathy.
just remember: the great thing about being a family man is that eventually the wife and kids go to sleep and you can get online and chat with cute gay guys

page views are still the dominant metric only because much better ones (time on site for instance) are still in their infancy
but page views are so easily manipulated

i dunno people tell us time on site, unique viewers, bounce rates etc are important, it's changed a lot in the last 5 years i think

his whole point in that vid is that there are too many portals and magazines and websites?? wtf that's not true.
― R'LIAH (goole), Tuesday, 20 August 2013 16:05 (eleven years ago) link
ok just emailed our head of ad sales and he said that unique visitors is by far the number one metric and page views is "secondary in terms of importance"

ok whenever anyone posts a tinypic, i click the link and get a page full of ads and then the pic appears like 5 seconds later. not sure how that "pageview" gets calculated but i hope some droplet of my rage makes it into the stats

I was watching the basement video and there was some dust on my screen right where his mustache was and I whipped it with my finger and then it just felt like I was having an intimate moment so I bailed on the video. Oh well.

Gentlemen, it has come to my attention that a breakaway Russian Republic called Kreplachistan will be transferring a nuclear warhead to the United Nations in a few days. Here's the plan. We get the warhead and we hold the world ransom for 94k and full bennies.
