1. Hire a Dagblog Hasbarista: (I suggest Natasha G-M, she is already in the public relations sphere, has an obvious interest in the site, and will probably work for a percentage of the ad revenue--wait, what??) Job duties, whenever a foolish opinion is expressed on Facebook, instead of tediously rebutting the same, merely link to the apposite Dagblog post

Some of us (me?) do this already with our own posts, but I don't think anyone is systematically disseminating the accumulated wit and wisdom of the entire cohort of posters.

I recently had occasion to repost a few items on Mona's FB page, in a discussion of HRC's virtues/vices (the latter always a favorite of mine...)

. (This may be why the posts in question are still ticking along after maybe a year, pushing 30k hits....see, eg, today's list which includes one of them...)

2. Make readership sticky--in this endeavor, restore the RSS button that we lost when the servers were changed

3. Search Engine Optimization--this is Genghis' purview, I think. At present, I notice that when I want to dredge up some post from years ago , I have trouble getting the Google to perform.

No wonder we can't get an audience with such retro thinking - we need Pokemon Go boobies in 3D augmented reality. Walking along and boom, 6 ft tall attacks. How we lead back to news Idunno...

In reply to I think more porn search

High quality news articles like this one from Huff post will get us the numbers we're looking for. The journalists there are not only linking it on the front news page and the politics section but pushing it at the bottom of many of the articles.

In reply to Yeah, what suggestions

Now that's a challenge - a Mr Smith raffle? They had naked weatherlady for a while - maybe naked Haiku dude? Or the stripdown Vanna White wheel of fortune thing - one piece of clothing per tetrain? Maybe everyone in the Masthead could do their part - with power comes responsibility...

I think more porn search terms in opening paragraphs would be a big help.

Oh Mike, you know more than I do.

I accept your explanation.

Sorry.

Hell, you are doing something right. Hell, I have been here almost 8 years.

And we get a lot of traffic.

I am just happy being able to blog here.

In reply to Hey Danny, you make my day.

We had ads, remember? They never made much money, not enough to justify their clutter. Plus the existence of a revenue stream, however small, opens us up to liability.
