Statistical Anomaly or Something Funny?

You know how you can do the "next blog" button on most Blogspot sites and then randomly peruse blogs? Ok so I haven't done that in awhile and had some time today. Well this was the 3rd site I came across. Interesting pictures in it so I did look at it for a minute, but then as I continued through the blogosphere, it came up EIGHT more times! I would say it came up about every 5-8 blogs I hit. (Most of the blogs I hit were written in Spanish so I was zippity-doo-da-ing through them)

So what's up with that? Just some statistical freakiness or is that site doing something to come up that often?

I have seen this too- not sure how it's done. Maybe a program continuously re-publishing it or some sort of link manipulation?

I've noticed the same thing.
At first I thought that recent posts were given priority,then I figured it was just blogger taking kickbacks.

I've never hit that next blog button. Now I know why.

Were they putting "no panties" in their blog tags?

I don't think you want to do what those "frequent uploaders" are doing for the privilege. What would one call the 'casting couch' for blogland? Hmmm...the blog bed? Oh sure what the hell.

Why are you people reading other blogs? Am I not enough for you?

Read other blogs??!! No, we just click on them to give them a little traffic, that's all, yeah...

I don't see any porno type stuff on their site, but they do have a lot of ads...

Oh. Well, that's alright then.
