(bigger picture of Mufasa in article, click to see)
I have a Stat Counter thingy at the bottom right hand side of this page, it’s that little blue box like thing under the I Power Blogger box like thingy. Go look if your curious, but don’t click on the games links, well not yet anyway, you can play those later, first you have to read this.
For those who don’t know what Stat Counter does. It records all the people that come to my site, like you. Then it gives me directions to your house and lists all the contents of your refrigerator so I can stop by and ask for a nice cold glass of iced tea and a bosc pear, if you say sorry I’m fresh out I’ll know you’re lying. Yes that’s the power of the internet, oh and stop buying the artificial butter, it’ll kill you, get the real stuff.
But more important then that, it tells me if you came to my site through a link; which up until now has been NEVER. Yes sad as that sounds, no one links to my wonderful tidbits known as Gray Matter Garbage. But don’t feel sorry for me, just tell your friends and enemies, and coworkers and dentists and the guy who fixes your pipes, your mom, the kid that bags your food, and your babysitters best friend who comes over when your not home and eats your butter pecan ice cream to check it out.
However I’m not writing this just to make you feel guilty for not spreading the word about my wonderful but quirky sense of being, nope I’m writing this because all of a sudden I’m getting lots and lots of hits and yes it’s because someone linked to me, more importantly it’s GOOGLE that linked to me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, but before I take my bow I should probably explain a little more. Google really doesn’t love me all that much, and it’s not because they think (although they should) that the world should be reading my blog, it’s because Google sort of messed up, in a Mufasa sort of way.
Remember Simba, you know that cute little lion cub who’s dad was Darth Vader, and not so unlike Luke, managed to cause his fathers death. Well it seems Simba’s old man Mufasa is still very popular on the internet and for whatever reason Google linked my site with Mufasa’s picture, and that picture is ranked number 2 if you go to Google images and type in Mufasa. Pretty neat huh?
The only problem is (or was) is that when people came to my site there was no picture of Mufasa. People are coming to my site, not seeing their sometimes not so full of life paternal lion hero and leaving without taking a look around. Not good, it’s like false advertising, and worse it isn't helping my readership.
Something had to be done, and instead of contacting Google or disappointing millions of Mufasa fans I decide to do the 'right thing' and put up pictures of James Earl Mufasa Vader Jones so everyone could be happy, see how wonderful I can be. I'm like an internet saint that fulfills search desires.
And so, without being too much of a publicity who-a, I present to you Mufasa from Disney's 'The Lion King' ….
NOW GO READ THE REST OF MY BLOG!
