Kim Kardashian Knows What’s Big

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

There is big and then there is BIG! I have always heard rumor of the junk in Kim Kardashian’s trunk, but honestly I had no idea there was that much…THAT’S A BIG ASS TRUNK! How her hind quarters got so inflated is beyond me, because her younger sister (pictured) Kourtney has a rockin’ little body.

I’m not sure what it is about these chicks or what it is that makes them “celebrities”, but I know one thing…they love to pose for the cameras. This picture just goes to prove my statement. You can see it in her eyes that she wants the world to see her big booty. Apparently, she knows it’s big and isn’t afraid to show it off.

I thought I knew BIG, but my definition is totally off from the the big that Kim Kardashian knows. My monthly numbers which weren’t all that bad; weren’t great either. I did see a big jump in my Alexa ranking and my Technorati numbers jumped up a bit too. The killer for the month of June seems to be the loss of 1200+ backlinks that were being tracked by Yahoo!. I’m not sure what happened there, but it didn’t seem to have a negative effect on the traffic.

Month in Review - May 2008

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

GrandmasterB is resituating the monthly reviews to coincide with actual month-end instead of the site’s birthday (March 20th). I think this will be easier overall to keep track of traffic reports, upcoming events, etc. The month of May was also the first month that I had the site running on all cylinders. Back in April, I had updated the footer template on WP and had forgotten to make sure the Analytics script was still there. Needless to say, I had two or three days where traffic didn’t record so the numbers were a bit askew.

With May being the first full month of a fully functional statistical data it sets the bar for months to come. I managed to find a lot of great ways to build up traffic and really hype up the site last month. From the magic of catchy post titles to a surprising response from my first tutorial, GrandmasterB.com managed to finish the end of the month with a big bang!

Miley Cyrus’ Got Milk Advertisement Gets Hugh Hefner Excited

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Got Milk?

After seeing the now famous images of Miley Cyrus in Vanity Fair and her new Milk Mustache advertisement Hugh Hefner has stepped into the “perv zone”. Apparently, Hugh-jass has stated that he would like to have 15 year-old Miley appear in Playboy. Of course, once he realized that he sounded like the world’s oldest pedophile he backtracked stating they would wait until she reached the legal age. Too late Hef, we all know that you like ‘em young you sick bastard. You helped us all confirm what we have known for years…you are a perverted, pajama clad old man.

What was that all about? That’s what I call getting you Googlebots excited enough to read my latest post. I’ve been trying to develop a decent post that would hook you all into reading it…did it work? I’m writing my “Month in Review” a few days early, because the stats (or main stat) are very impressive…at least in my eyes.

One Month Already?

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

HAPPY ONE MONTH ANNIVERSARY GRANDMASTERB.COM!

WOW! How fast a month goes in the early stages of running a blog. I cannot believe that I started this blog a month ago today. I have seen a lot of great moments in this first month, and met a few really cool bloggers along the way. By following the tips at other blogs, I have managed to get this blog off the ground and had relatively great success generating traffic (and most of it quality traffic). When I started out I didn’t have a clear path to follow, but I’m working on some guidelines and goals for the future that should help me along the way. Once I have them all put down on paper and streamlined I will create a post for those of you that want to follow along.

What’s this? 201 Unique visitors on April 16th! Fan-freakin-tastic!
