Popularity Contest
Following last weeks analysis of the nefarious LIESNSHITE enumerations (exposing the obviously lurid viewing habits of those of you that frequent) it was determined that MISFIT PSYCLES needs better referrals.
Referrals or readers?
While it is a fact we (the us) cannot change you (the deplored) we can encourage them (the new unknown readership) to visit and at least dilute your deplorable tendencies with searches for more appropriate things like;
’singlespeed’, ’singlespeed conversion’, ’singlespeed 29er’, ‘misfitpsycles is singlespeed’, ‘peter keiller is a god and i love him more then life itself and even though i am mostly all man i wish that it was possible for me to carry his baby’ or ‘big sweep handlebars’.
In addition to a much more presentable demographic is an increase in readership.
Increased readership will strengthen the brand, augment sales and promote the collective psycle psyche at Corporate HQ.

You don’t have a marginally successful cycling blog like DICKY DILLEN?

FOOT NOTES AND FINE PRINT:
* The source of all incoming links are tracked by our Wordpress stats thing. Officials acting in an official capacity will track back the source of the link and verify the identity of the person or site. Persons or sites linking back from multiple pages will be tabulated ONLY if the source URL is consistent. Links from multiple URL’s will count as individual entries…we do not have the time or mental capacity to ascertain that you or they own all of them sites…sorry.
What is a source?
- Your blog sidebar, your blog post with a link, your website.
- Links from a forum based thread originated (started) by YOU.
- Links from your TWITTER, FACEBOOK, MYSPACE, FLICKR or other social media mind melt WILL count as links and be tabulated.
What is NOT a source?
- Links sent and (thusly) opened in email are NOT a valid source as (while functional) they are NOT trackable to the originator.
- Links placed by YOU in a forum based thread originated by SOMEONE else (unfortunately we cannot track individual posts).
** Traffic includes links used to direct visitors to the LIESNSHITE homepage in general or a specific POST, ENTRY or PAGE within the LIESNSHITE realm. For those faint of mind, what that means is ANY link to ANY page that begins with http://www.misfitpsycles.com/blog/ is valid and eligible.
*** Random is just that. Random. All incoming link sources will be assigned a number in order of placement, prior to selection all sources will be compiled as outlined in * (above) and one winner will be selected using something RANDOM.
**** Originality will be open to interpretation. A poll may be used to elicit readership opinion of ‘originality’ but just as likely the grand master of the Empire will select the most original based on personal opinion. It is worth noting that the most original does NOT have to be the most successful. Much like a big purple hug, it’s the thought that counts.
***** Activity will be the greatest number of responses over the PHASE in question. Activity (number of posts/responses) will be determined in the manner most easily established by the hosting forum. In this case the forum thread can link directly to ANY of the Misfit Psycles sites as traffic will not be verified we are looking for hubbub. Threads started and filled by ONE poster will be considered lame BUT eligible for the sake of argument.
FINAL FOOT NOTES:
Misfit Psycles understands that you are all great and powerful, we understand that your giant egg-like head could crush us with robotic traffic of the most useless variety…whatever. Seriously.
Misfit Psycles has endeavored to cover all aspects and possibilities to this contest…given the fact that we are NOT contest scientists we anticipate that there may be some glitches along the way…whatever. It will be okay.
Misfit Psycles wants to thank you in advance for making us rich and even more powerful in the near future but would like to state emphatically that your assistance in these (our future successes) will NOT ensure that you will be recognized after such fame has been achieved.
Above all.
Whatever.

Assuming I had a blog I could use to direct traffic to The Empire, it is unlikely even I would read it. I was really hoping it would be a drinking contest. Then I’d at least have a chance!
