On the Marginal Revolution blog (November 8 – “For the curious”), commenter “Brandon” asks the right question.
Technical Note: You might be surprised that I don’t link back to Marginal Revolution. This group blog, Midas Oracle, is only two-month old, and my goal is to get a high Google PageRank as soon as possible. See, reciprocating links is punished by Google. (Marginal Revolution is linked to on the blog sidebar, though.)
Web Stats Reports: For your curiosity, the (third) mention of Midas Oracle on the Marginal Revolution blog brought us, yesterday alone, more than 900 visitors (the direct visitors coming from their website + the visitors coming from feed readers like BlogLines or Google Reader).
Addendum (November 11): David Pennock answers the PM question on this little blog (Odd Head).
Doesn’t seem like a great reason not to link to something for the benefit of readers.
I acknowledge your remark. There are pros and cons.
