It is a puzzlement...

There are times I almost think

I am not sure of what I absolutely know.

Very often find confusion

In conclusion I concluded long ago

I do not get the The TTLB.

I've tried to understand how it works. I know it has something to do with inbound unique links and unique hits in some combination thereof.

Yesterday this blog was at 723 in the link ecosystem. Today we're at 594. It looks to me like we have fewer inbound unique links today than yesterday.

The list of "links by source" doesn't appear to show some of the more prominent blogs in which we're blogrolled.

For example, we're on Rox Populi's blogroll..but it doesn't show up on the TTLB. We also have a trackback from Friday from Pandagon blog..which should show up but isn't.

It's just a vanity thing and nothing more. It's like checking your look in the mirror..checking where your blog resides on the TTLB ecosystem. But it sure would be nice to understand how it works.
