What do you mean my graphs? This particular study or the reports I read in general? I take everything with a grain of salt but I'm not paranoid enough to demand testing methodologies, etc. Or I might have totally misunderstood your question. @ melissa No, my butt is just fine, thanks for asking. :) Yes, it helps with traffic and the con is that it takes up space :) There's really nothing much to it, you just drop your card where it says "Drop card". And you visit other blogs by clicking on their ad. Nothing nefarious about it. Look up your Google Analytics to track your traffic increase. It's fun and you meet new blogs and new people so give it a try :) @ Paul

And reporters or journalists on a slow day is more than happy to take a prepared pulled quote or a sound bite. Maybe I'm just jaded but I question whether or not there's a spin.
