So how popular is this site? More importantly, how cool are you for reading it? The answer is very cool. In fact, take the day off, and never be afraid to tell someone off because you read this site, and that makes you this close to being a celebrity.

Here is an interesting fact: on average, at least one person reads our stuff at all times. We average a reader every six seconds, or about 1100 to 1200 per day. And we love all of you.

Google supplies us with most of our readers (107,000 plus). But FotG Jonathan Last throws a couple thousand hits our way thanks to his prodigious references to us. Thanks, JVL! The Czar was glad he mailed you that otter pemmican pot pie.

Not to be outdone, the Mighty Borepatch sends us nearly half that amount from his site. Do him a favor you’ll thank us for and read his site everyday. Especially you, Jonah.

And speaking of whom, National Review’s Corner gets some free advertising from us, as they link to us a fair amount and are responsible for another thousand or so visitors.

For some weird reason, these folks evidently had 305 page views come to us, down at the bottom of our list. Uh, thanks, guys. The Czar isn’t sure ‘Puter ever vacationed in Huntington Beach, but if he does, he will be sure to use your services.

So do you remember way back at the top of this post when the Czar said that Google sends most of our visitors to us? Not only are we getting Google a tasteful thank you card made out of construction paper and Creamettes and glue, but the all time top search word? You guessed it: yeti. Right: all this great stuff, and for some reason, more people come here to learn about Volgi’s yeti. How utterly sweet.

In addition to the US, we have readers in the UK, Canada, Germany, China, Russia, Ukraine, France, Australia, and India. Welcome! All but three of these thousands of readers are interested in sex milking, evidently.

And the all-time most popular post? No surprise, but it was read almost 10,000 times.

The Czar of Muscovy

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
