March’s Top Referrers

This entry was posted in Modulator on by

This post is way late so I’ll keep it over a bit next month.
On the right side bar is the updated roll of Modulator’s 21 top referrers for the month of March. Numbers 20 and 21 each produced 25 referrals compared to 20 for numbers 20 and 21 in January.
December churn: 6 blogs dropped and 6 new ones added compared to 9 and 9 in February.
Overall traffic was down about 7.7% from February and up 211% from March 04 (no I do not expect the year to year growth to continue at that rate).
Top Referrer: Pharyngula. Thanks, PZ!
Top search phrase/word: live strong
Most popular post: Live Strong
Statistics are culled from AWStats running on Modulator’s server at Hosting Matters.
Again, thank you one and all!
Also, I’d like to acknowledge 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 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.

Is the dea Encouraging Drug Use?

The US drug enforcement agency has published the 2005 edition of their classic magazine Drugs of Abuse:

This DEA magazine delivers clear, scientific information about drugs in a factual, straightforward way, combined with scores of precise photographs shot to scale.

There are lots of photos and there may be some facts but what is the message? Mr. Sun says:

I must say that, for me, the primary impact of the magazine was to make me want to do drugs. I’m as straight as an arrow, but after looking at this DEA publication I simply can’t wait to start cramming psychoactive substances down my pill hole. Let’s look at a few screenshots, shall we?

Well, click on over and look at them with Mr. Sun!
Via Hit & Run where some of the commentors have noticed items that may not be quite factual. Can you find others?
