That's awesome.

We’re growing by leaps and bounds. We pulled in more than 120,000 visits last month. Not page views, VISITS. And that’s incredible. We’ll top 100,000 visits again this month too.

There are a lot of great Twins blogs out there. And considering the company of the other 9 blogs on that list, I’m not about to argue about our position.

Scandinavian relatives on both sides of my family are cringing... :-)

Both the norwegians and the swedes don’t like being confused for each other.

And don’t get them started on the Finlanders!

I have been searching forever

for a legit twins website. One that released information at a rapid rate. TT is second to no one in this category. ESPN should put TT links on their website.

To be fair, 90,000 of our visits every month are fischean using different computers

You caught on?

I thought it was a bit elaborate with the whole 90,000 computers thing, but eh. Totally worth it.

this ranking is based on "popularity" they say,

by using the following formula:

Newsbobber ranks blogs by popularity, not quality. Each blog’s score reflects four measures — Google PageRank, Google Reader subscribers, inbound links and the PostRank blog-ranking service. Newsbobber tracks the metrics and merges them into a single score for each blog.

Thus, I feel I have done my share to increase our overall online profile through the multiple references to genitalia, deviant sexual acts (with or without basebal equipment), and hermaphroditic sheep.

keep up the good work!

Way to go, montana.

Stay vigilant.

So are you saying....

If I were to hypothetically make references to Scarlett Johansson topless photos or Penelope Cruz Lesbian scene more people would end up searching this site? I don’t know if I could consciously do that. Maybe it could be more topical like Grady Sizemore racy photos, but I do have my standards.

by maxisagod on Mar 10, 2010 3:59 PM EST up reply actions

Naked Joe Mauer would do it.

by Jesse on Mar 10, 2010 4:03 PM EST up reply actions

hermaphroditic sheep

It’s for a very niche audience.
