Eric Kiel of cigarettes and coffee has split his weblog’s stock on Blogshares and is gifting chunks of 100 to all and sundry to generate interest and links. (Guess he succeeded here, then.) So far most of my value increases have been down to buying activity, rather than linkage, but in the wider world clicks count.
Now I must go and post a comment to one of his posts so I can harvest some of his increased traffic.
