I beg you all to quit the sand box “my blog will kick you blogs ass”….

Who gives a crap how many people look at whomever’s site. This whole blog ranking from the BNN has brought out the worst in you all. You know which sites you look at, why does it matter how many others look? If some blogs choose to advertize their numbers and some don’t – it is their choice.

Most credible publications provide independent audits of their circulation and readership to advertisers. Does your policy on the Red County blog also apply to the Magazine?

No, we are not that way with advertisers. They’re customers, not look-i-loos.

I hope you’re not that way with potential advertisers.

Chris, Matt is part of the executive branch and legislative branch which excludes him from revealing anything to anyone….

Matt,
I am well aware that you don’t care if I believe your traffic numbers. And I am not obsessed with our blog.s traffic. I just don’t understand why you have a problem publicly disclosing your traffic in a way that can be independently verified. Your resistance to disclosue, seems to indicate that there may be something t hide.

It’s kind of like Janet Nguyen not disclosing her mystery donors to her legal defense fund. If she had nothing to hide why did it take so long to disclose.

Matt you have claimed an impressive amount of traffic for a blog only a few years old. If LiberalOC were to claim numbers half of yours, I would expect that you or other conservative bloggers would challenge those numbers. We however, along with Orange Juice disclose our numbers and will continue to do so. It is a matter of credibility.

Matt for a week and a half you proudly displayed and promoted your number 1 standing in the BlogNetNews rankings. When you got bumped out of the number 1 slot, you claim that their rankings are not credible.

Well Matt, at this point your traffic claims are not credible. As far as I know, your numbers are less than LiberalOC.

I have said in a previous post that you say you got your numbers from the CEO.

Thanks, but people reading this post are reading this post — not the other one.

Thatâ€™s what you say, but the â€œliberally biasedâ€ facts say something different.

What does that even mean?

You say that your traffic numbers are one thing, since you are resistant to public disclosure of verifiable numbers, why should anyone believe you.

I don’t care if you believe me. It’s called “none of your business.” Why are you so obsessed with Red County/OC Blog’s traffic, anyway?

Matt,

You say that your traffic numbers are one thing, since you are resistant to public disclosure of verifyable numbers, why shoud anyone believe you.

As Ronald Reagan said: Trust, but verify.

Matt Cunningham has claimed in at least two of his posts that the Orange County Human Relations Commission Executive Direcctor earns a salary of $131,000 a year.

As you know, but fail to mention, I got that figure from the County CEO’s office.

You asked Rusty, I asked the CEO.

Help who? Why do you care? And what business is it of yours?
