The Butt Ugly Weblog

Paying for my mistakes

My screwup earlier seems to generate all sorts of traffic into this site. I pinged weblogs.com with the wrong URL (but which is still valid, it's just that JSPWiki will serve a "this page does not exist, would you like to create it" with a 200 OK code, so for all intents and purposes, it is a valid page for each bot that comes looking.

For example, I was suddenly elevated into #60 or something in the popdex top 100, because I am referring to myself from two URLs or something. Also, I've been appearing doubly on everyone's Technorati Blog Cosmos...

Oops. In a super-connected blogosphere, any mistake will replicate, grow, and come back at you... It's a dangerous world. :-)
