It's been a typical month at Rooftop Reviews. The things
I write today won't even "chart" until next year. Sometimes I'm
surprised at what gets on there at all! Dismiss the Jimi Hendrix one; it's
largely junk mail. I just keep it for the numbers it generates. By next month
it will be gone and something else will replace it.
Sometimes it's seasonal. Like in April; my top hit then
will be about the Civil War and also about the American Revolution.
Surprisingly; overall; the Civil War is the more "popular” of the two. I
wonder if that says anything about us as people?
The Vance Hotel is a regular in the top 10. It actually
gets comments and also generates e-mails; which I prefer. The Vance is one of
those places which attracts people; partly because of its reputation as one of
the better hotels of the "old days"; and partly because it has a
ghost. Now, that's unique...
Of course; the King and Elvis. I mean, anything about
Elvis will get you a hit. I am putting Elvis in the keywords for this. Hey, I
may start doing that with all my posts! But seriously, some folks actually do
read this stuff. And I'm glad they do.
From cartoons to old films and books and history and
stuff that I don't even recall, this is the best value for your buck on the
web. Why? A- It’s free. B- There are 7 articles at any given time, as opposed
to most other blogs where you can only look at one article at a time. They do
that to get the extra hits. I don't need to. That's why I have Elvis and Jimi.
