Of course, as is usual with Melissa-isms, you have to read between the lines...
Gee, 290,000 views over 2 1/2 YEARS? Wow, that number means so much to a guy whose last project sold 70,000 in one month alone. Which means you're also not even in my league since another project of mine sold nearly 1,000,000. Oh, and in case you're mathematically challenged, Melissa, that's 70,000
plus the 1 million
plus the figures on other things, which means my numbers instantly dwarf your 290.
Not to mention, page "views" are always a deceptively false number. In fact, here's a news flash for you about Yahoo: every time YOU look at your own 360 page, it counts as a "view"... when you type up a new blog post and hit enter, technically updating the page, it counts as a view... if you refresh the page, to simply be sure that your new entry looks and reads right, its another view. The result: you can add 3, 4, or 10 views
a shot to your "views" count all while simply trying to add a single new entry. Translation: the "view" numbers ramp up very, very quickly which makes the overall tally pointless.
Of course, here's the more telling truth. If 290,000 "views" were truly reflective of your "fan" base, then why only 200 friends? People who actually want to be notified of any updates about you? Why is that yet again you love to brag about how many "fans" you have... about how "revered" you are... and yet you have only ONE PERSON posting a comment at your blog? Gee, you'd think that someone -- no, a actual super star! -- who had 290,000 fans would have more than ONE GUY wanting to say something to them. That alone speaks volumes about how "off" your 290,000 number is from reality.
Which ultimately brings us to the HUGE difference between us, Melissa. You're ridiculously trying to compare the number of people who checked out a FREE web page to the number of people who actually PAID for something. You're laughably trying to compare the number of people who read a ranting post of yours and thought "Who the hell is this person?", at which point they clicked on a link and checked out your profile, versus in my case they actually reached into their pocket and said "Hey, this looks so good that I'll actually spend some of my own hard-earned money to BUY it."
Sorry, they're not the same thing by a mile.
But nice try again, Ace.
