Question For My Blog Readers

You’re here. Whether you comment or you do not, you are here.

The other day I came across a poll on the UAE Community Blog that asked how surfers found blogs to read. The most popular option was “UAE Community Blogroll”, which would make sense since the damn poll was located on that page. Stunning to think that people at the UAE Community blog should find other blogs from there, isn’t it?

Now, I take special interest in this because I asked to have my posting rights revoked and to be completely removed from that particular blogroll, as I have personal issues with the administration of UAE Community. I do not believe that that blog represents the UAE society in the least. In fact, I pretty much have it summed up to being a bitch fest for expats to point out how nasty the UAE is and to promote a few select bloggers with the same mind-set.

Since I asked to be removed, I have not noticed any significant decrease in my page views and while I was listed there my stats showed that very few of you came here from there.

Makes me wonder, how did you find me? Even those of you who don’t usually comment, I’d appreciate it much if you took the time to let me know, even if it’s done anonymously. Curiosity kills the cat, you know. And thanks in advance.

This is going to be one of those posts that gets exactly 1 comment, isn’t it?

Don't remember exactly, must've been through another blog, either links or comments section. I liked what I read so I stayed (anonymously till I get my blog up'n'running)

Well thank you all very much...

Four more of you answered than I thought would. ;)

I appreciate the knowledge and have to thank EVERYONE who linked me to their blogroll, cause it seems that most of you are finding me from other people's blogs.

yup seems thats the case, people follow through other blogs or even through comments you place on other blogs. I saw your blog a long time back when the whole baluchi episode started. Probably from one of your comments.

I remember when you found me... LOL! It was from the swear-ful post I accidently posted there instead of here, and then deleted right quick...

Remember now? It wasn't the blog roll, it was the mistaken post I made there.

I found you some time ago - and have been trying to get rid of you ever since, but what happens? You stalk me, follow me to Coffee Houses, text me, call me, proclaim undying love for me (Can't blame you on that one)....

Love ya kidda!

I discovered you when I was reading a post in Archers Adda. You commented on that post, I clicked on your profile, and got to your blog. The first post I read from your blog is "Today’s Language of a Spineless Little Bitch..."

Since then, I was hooked to your blog.

Got you on Balushi's blog.

Well, thank you all for the compliments and the information.

3anooda, I love your nick first of all. Second, I have limited connection just now. I should be back on line full force soon enough and I’ll be sure to take a look at your blog. Welcome to blogging.

And balushi, you forgot to mention that you couldn’t afford me there, thus the reason you started obsessing and loving me online instead of in the flesh.

Ok well I found you when you fought with B. And I thought 'Who is this *beep* who drove B out.' LOL you see, no matter what people say...he has a different presence in this copy-paste worshipper's world. So I've always wanted him around ;)
