So, I have mentioned before how Blogger allows you to monitor what websites referred people to your page. This month gave me one that inspired me to start a "Page Reference or Search Term of the Month" Award. Hopefully each month will give me something that I think is funny. And if you are the person who came here by way of the random link, please let me know what you were looking for or how you ended up on this site. We'll give a retroactive award to our Russian friend from yandex.ru. I'm still looking for some explanation man. Gimme the story. This is America. We have free speech here.
So, without further ado, the inaugural award; Somehow, someone got to my blog from Montel Williams' Wikipedia page. I searched all over it but I could not find any links to my site on his wiki entry. Not that I expected there to be one, but someone found a way to get here from there. So, either Google is lying to me or there is a way to fake the URL that you came from before getting here. Pretty strange. Now, what I really need is for someone to actually put up a link to my site on his wiki page.
Back to the trail. New Hampshire has a pretty strong craft brewing community, and they are very focused on building sustainable communities by using local sources for everything that goes into running a successful brewery and making world class craft beer. All of it's breweries are fairly close to each other, so a full state brewery tour could be done in a few days to a week, depending on what outdoor activities you want to fit in during your trip. Here is the map with all of the breweries listed;
Trailies:
Best Beer Concept: 6288 Stout, Tuckerman Brewing. It's not really the concept of the actual beer, but the concept behind the name that makes me like this one.
Best Label Art: Dippity Do American Brown, Throwback Brewery.
Best Beer Name: Indomitus, White Birch Brewery.
Most Local Community Loving Brewery: All of them. I couldn't give this to just one brewery. I tried, but they each declined and tried to give it to the rest of the breweries collectively. They really all believe in cultivating community and living sustainably and blah blah blah... I'm sick of the hippie speak.
And finally, I look at my site as the 2011 version of the 2004 Howard Dean Presidential campaign. New Hampshire is one stop of many. So, not only are we going to New Hampshire, Tom Harkin, next up is Virginia, then New York, then on to North Carolina, then Rhode Island, and then we're gonna go to Washington and take back the White House.... yeaaarrrhhh!. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out this clip. Skip to about 0:50.

I cracked up when I got to the Montel Williams part. That is amazing. I have no idea what some of the websites are that I see on my blog that people are coming from.
ReplyDeleteYou got any good ones yet on your blog? I think sometimes the links are on the banner ads on the side, so if you were to go back to that site in order to see where the link was, the ad that brought someone to your site might not be there anymore. Now, why Google Adsense would put a banner ad for my site on any page, let alone Montel Williams' wiki page, that's a different question.
