Toejam!

What would posses you to say Toejam without mentioning Earl?

Waaaaaaait a minute. I think you're making fun of me now...!

I guess it all depends on who's in the Board of Trustees...

It is now over $100, double what I paid for the hosting an domain registration. The stats are steadily climbing. The Alexa Ranking is now over 19,000,000. Last week it was in the trillions. The Google pages is at 790, higher than tawmis.com. Not getting anywhere with Yahoo or Compete.com. Not bad for a little less than a month on its own domain.

Seriously. You gotta rub that fun fact in?!

Hey, tawmis.com still is worth far more than SHP.

<murmurs "GabrielKnight4campaign" to herself>

I just noticed. According to Compete the five Top Keywords Driving Traffic to tawmis.com:

1. king's quest collection DOSBox 0.70 update (kqcollectiondb70)
2. king's quest collection DOSBox 0.70 update
3. kq vii patch
4. space quest replicated saves
5. laura bow dagger of amon ra can't get out of taxi

Top Keywords Driving Traffic to SHP:

1. quest for glory vista
2. how to fix 'unable to initiate sound driver'
3. freddy pharkas frontier pharmacist cd

Not surprising. No one comes to tawmis.com unless they're googling something else entirely... since my site really had nothing for the general public, till I hosted SHP on there for you.

The main thing is the forum. Then there's pages about an obscure X-Men (Adam-X), an obscure game (Toejam and Earl), and a defunct game/company (Sir-Tech, Wizardry 8...) so really, no surprise I don't rate high on google (or any search engine) that isn't Sierra related. Of course, search engines/bots crawl the forums - which has Sierra stuff mentioned, even before SHP... but it's clear that google is still seeing SHP pages.

Now it is at $748.99. A huge jump.

You'll get rich

SHP is now at $1,994.63. Even though this doesn't really mean anything, I plugged in the other Sierra sites to see where they now stand. If nothing else, it is a measure of the traffic they see.

Wow! Larrylaffer.net is already worth 58 bucks! Nice!
