Or how Modulator finds itself ranked #92 in Yahoo search results for triple x.
I was browsing through the referrer log last night and was puzzled as to exactly how Modulator managed to show up in a search for “triple x sxx sites” (slightly modified).
It seems that someone used overture.com to do a search for the above words. Overture uses Yahoo as their search engine and apparently this post from a couple days ago was enough to set the trigger. The culprit letters are indeed right there toward the end of the post.
I am in good company though. Kevin Aylward’s Wizbang is right there at #91 and the fine folks at AMCGLTD.COM are 4 spots ahead at #88.

On the right side bar is the updated roll of Modulator’s 20 top referrers for the month of July. Number 20 produced 12 referrals compared to 10 for number 20 in June.
Overall traffic was up about 2.4% from June and up 233% from July 03 (no I do not expect the year to year growth rate to continue at that rate). I am also seeing an increasing number of visits from folks who have bookmarked Modulator and I thank all of you for visiting!
Statistics are culled from AWStats running on Modulator’s server at Hosting Matters.
July churn: 8 blogs dropped and 7 new ones added compared to 10 and 8 in June.

Again, thank you one and all!
Also, I’d like to acknowledge significant referrals from some of the blogosphere’s ‘service’ sites: Technorati, weblogs.com, blogrolling.com, MovableType, Blogdex, Bloglines, blogoshpere.us, Sitemeter, NZ Bear’s Ecosystem, Bloogz and Daypop.
All of the blog rolls except the Base Roll are ordered by most recently updated so be sure to ping weblogs.com or blogrolling.com to push to the top of the rolls. These are certainly the sites I tend to look at first and visitors will see you at the top of the roll as well.

Actually, almost 4 days at the beach. Yes!!
Last year there was no net access available and I suspect that has not changed.
See you all Sunday night!
