ANNOUNCEMENT TO THOSE WHO THINK IT'S FUNNY TO SCREW WITH MY SITE STATS
Now I KNOW you guys are doing this, because we rarely get more than 5 or 6 hits on the PBR site per day. :)
Actually, it *does* eff up the stats for me to get lots of hits that don't mean anything. I'm not looking at the stats for fun, but trying to figure out what sorts of things I need to put on that site to drive REAL traffic there because I would like to, say, SELL BOOKS and PAY RENT, and the bogus stats make that impossible.
(Not to mention it was funny the first couple of times, but after the eleventh, it's a little tiring. The best comedians know when to stop telling the joke.)
SO therefore I AM REQUESTING that every time you drop a bogus hit onto my site stats, you purchase something from Amazon.com through one of our Amazon referrer links. It doesn't have to be any of the books featured on the page like Rachel's memoir or the manga reviews, because if you access Amazon through one of our links, the referrer ID stays with you and credits us with a few pennies. Although Rachel would love it if you bought her memoir, which was published by a real publisher and everything, and is quite good to boot.

I mean... *cough* people can be terrible!
hey, don't look at me...
But: I didn't know that about Amazon! If I take leave of my senses and start buying stuff there, I'll click through you.
Most of my new and used books come through ABEbooks these days, but I tend to do presents via Amazon.
Re: hey, don't look at me...
If I remember, I'll post closer to Christmas to ask people to go through our links when buying Christmas presents if they're not using someone else's links. XD

Hmmm, I'll have to remember that, about the click-through. I use Amazon a great deal, for manga I can't get easily elsewhere, for obscure books the Young Lady needs for school, and for presents.
