Getting part of it right, is close enough, that's what probable cause is all about. I only have to have a valid partially correct working theory.<br /><br />You guys and gals don't tell the truth except when it serves you, and you are anonymous. Saying I saw a four hole steamer on a torpedo run in the heat of battle that later turns out to be a three, hardly a big deal.<br /><br />Your people have fluffed your site. You know it, I know it. I have a pretty good idea how you did it that might turn out to be true, supported by hard evidence through a third party site that HPL was involved.<br /><br />The rest is just detail.<br /><br />You want to "win" so badly, that you've doctored your card to pick up strokes. The problem is, you should do that more carefully next time, it's more believable. Going from "<a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shankapotomus" rel="nofollow">shankapotomus</a>" to setting course records every time you go to the Torrey Pines clubhouse, it's a bit suspicious.Hugh McBrydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16926516260588481185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762465.post-63044299543530219202010-04-08T11:26:09.824-04:002010-04-08T11:26:09.824-04:00Well you are at least 1/2 correct.

This IP which is the downtown Houston Free wi-fi comes back as a static IP for the Houston public library.<br /><br />However, I'm in the courthouse which is a good 10 blocks from the library.<br /><br />So only my little laptop - no Zombie library computers in sight.Ron in Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496306119920809104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762465.post-22351995394245661462010-04-07T15:12:04.149-04:002010-04-07T15:12:04.149-04:00Ron,
I really don't care. You keep hiding be...Ron,<br /><br />I really don't care. You keep hiding behind semantics. So, I have it all wrong about the HPL OR...<br /><br />You haven't been there...(still not a denial).<br /><br />I'm sure all the hits are legitimate "hits" but that's not the same as legitimate interest. The tale of the tape is there to see, and the statistics are inescapable.<br /><br />Your hits are overwhelmingly the same KIND of hit. That's not sufficiently random to document spontaneous or "Grass Roots" visitation patterns.<br /><br />I'm sure Alexa is missing some type of hits, but statistically the numbers are so small as to not matter.<br /><br />The facts are these:<br /><br />Whoever fired up their browser, came overwhelmingly and DIRECTLY without going anywhere else first, to FLDS Texas. They started doing so in the rough time frame of the middle of March. People DON'T do that en mass when the news cycle is down. <br /><br />Next, they departed in overwhelmingly large numbers, directly to Google. While not absolute proof, that is what someone does when they get onto a public computer and fire up a browser whose homepage is set to a particular site. <br /><br />Your "HITS" are indeed a large number, so large that other behaviors of random visitors were OBLITERATED statistically. What's left if that the number of people coming as a result of search behavior is so low, as to approach zero, and Alexa states that. The number of people who departed your site went in such large numbers to "Google," that Alexa rounds it up to 100% instead of listing 99.99993%.<br /><br />You're CAUGHT.<br /><br />Your site viewers sign on, see the site, and say: "Oh, that's not where I want to be, I'll go to Google..."<br /><br />IN ONE MONTH you blasted past me for overall world wide rankings starting from the internet boondocks, and zipped past Brother Burge over at Iowahawk for US Popularity. Except Dave Burge has 1125 (Little Green Footballs, Power Line, Pajamas Media, Hotair, Protein Wisdom, Michelle Malkin, Hugh Hewitt, etc.) sites linking in and you only have a total of 24, 1101 less than <a href="http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/iowahawk.typepad.com" rel="nofollow">Iowahawk (a popular political humor blog)</a>, and all you do is kvetch about the FLDS, AND ME. You're saying that I am in part, such an attractive topic to blog about, that people would read about you, at a site with less inbound links, to know about me, at a site with MORE inbound links that IS ABOUT ME and AUTHORED by me.<br /><br />My Dad used to say when confronted with stories like that, one word.<br /><br />Fantastic.<br /><br />It's Fluffing, it's Astroturfing, that's all it is.<br /><br />You are caught RED HANDED trying to puff yourself up like Aesop's frog. It really doesn't matter if I surmised you shot Mr. Mustard in the Conservatory, if you clubbed him with a pipe in the Library. The result is still the same, and the act is merely a question of style.Hugh McBrydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16926516260588481185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762465.post-64299968573257231862010-04-07T14:23:07.512-04:002010-04-07T14:23:07.512-04:00No Hugh

The City of Houston has free wifi in certain areas downtown. Again, watching you thrash about is certainly amusing.<br /><br />The reason for the rise is legit and it's actually pretty damn simple but I'll let you keep up with your wild theories.Ron in Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496306119920809104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762465.post-75202584232581790042010-04-07T13:56:46.882-04:002010-04-07T13:56:46.882-04:00You're still admitting to doping the numbers. ...You're still admitting to doping the numbers. <br /><br />So, I'm brain dead and cooked up a wild conspiracy theory as to how you did it, you keep admitting that you did it, and you admit you're using the HPL.<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_IP#Static_IP" rel="nofollow">The IP in question, was static</a>.

It pops up when I start typing since I've been here before. Similarly when I'm done with this comment, I won't go anywhere else from your site. The only time I'd every go somewhere else is if you posted a link I happened to follow.<br /><br />There is a reason for the meteoric rise of FLDS Texas but you're such a moron that you'll never figure it out. You'll go off on your wild conspiracy theories like me turning every computer terminal in the Houston Public library into a Zombie or other such ignorant and unlikely theories. I'd tell you but it's just too much fun to watch you make an ass of yourself.<br /><br />And yes, the City of Houston has free wifi downtown. When I can get a signal, I'll sometimes use it.Ron in Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496306119920809104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762465.post-30539154246370932182010-04-07T09:44:46.792-04:002010-04-07T09:44:46.792-04:00Ron, there's no "upstream" to your s...Ron, there's no "upstream" to your site visits and virtually none of the viewers came as a result of a "referral" or search.<br /><br />Are you telling me they all woke up one morning Last month with a Vision that said GO TO "<a href="http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/texasflds.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow"> http://texasflds.wordpress.com</a>," and like lemmings, they did?<br /><br />Go on, keep lying. Or the reader can go to Alexa, and check, and see that you have no upstream and all your downstream is google and no one searched to find your site.<br /><br />Any site with a breathtaking statistical rise in rank, and a plummeting descent in people "googling" it to find it, is being "juiced." Sites don't juice themselves. Site owners and site fans do that. <br /><br />No one looked for you, but they all found you in record numbers.<br /><br />Are you denying that you post from the Houston Public Library or use it's system in some way?Hugh McBrydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16926516260588481185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762465.post-86904343907255155762010-04-07T09:28:42.721-04:002010-04-07T09:28:42.721-04:00How can I not drip vitrol at a lying sack like you...How can I not drip vitrol at a lying sack like you.<br /><br />The record is there all at Wikipedia that you're wrong and I told the truth.<br /><br />Secondly, as I said, I didn't "juice" any numbers. Call the Houston Public library, call Alexa or whoever. The numbers reflect actual readers at FLDS Texas. There is no mythical machine out there juicing the numbers. Besides, if I wanted to "juice" any numbers why wouldn't I do it on FLDS Legal which is MY site.<br /><br />As to my motivation behind doing it, part of it was to see what drove Alexa rankings and part of it was to show you what a pathetic loser you are.Ron in Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496306119920809104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762465.post-34675575833317290392010-04-06T23:05:56.619-04:002010-04-06T23:05:56.619-04:00I'm sure everyone at the Houston Public Librar...I'm sure everyone at the Houston Public Library will read it too.Hugh McBrydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16926516260588481185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762465.post-14917163561793229842010-04-06T23:01:03.483-04:002010-04-06T23:01:03.483-04:00Not that you'll admit it, but the evidence sho...Not that you'll admit it, but the evidence shows that Ron is correct and you are incorrect.
