Out of curiosity for SEO, here are some key stats about our coverage of the InTrade CEO‘s horrific death. Note that these stats don’t encompass the frontpage readers and the feed subscribers (so, we would add many hundreds more, actually). And that only one webpage (out of the many we wrote on the topic) is counted.

The Japan situation is of great interest to the Google researchers:

Midas Oracle is number one at Google for the Gadaffi search, above InTrade and Inkling. – [SNAPSHOT]

InTrade has a higher PageRank than BetFair. No change.

Google has just updated its external PageRank servers. (The PageRank is updated internally in a continuous way, but Google updates its external servers once a quarter or so.)

- InTrade is 7/10. BetFair 6/10. HSX 6/10. HubDub 6/10.

- BetFair’s blog (Betting @ BetFair) is 5/10, proving, once again, that it is a mediocre publication run by mediocre people. BetFair’s second blog (BetFair Predicts) is 4/10. Midas Oracle is 6/10.

- For the record, the goal to attain (for both exchanges and publications) is 7/10.

Midas Oracle generated more than 100,000 pageviews in December 2009.

Should a blog run ads?

Robin Hanson’s web stats (the drop came following his ditching of his co-authors):

He has asked whether his readers would allow him to have ads. I left a comment, there.

Blog Herald:

3 Odd Reasons Why I Donâ€™t Read Your Blog

- ADS. I find that the types of ads a blog runs is quite telling. The blogger that I truly want to read does it for the passion of the topic â€“ not the 14 cents they can potentially make off of some Lance Armstrong-endorsed muscle-building drink. I look at the quality of ads (whatâ€™s being sold) and the quantity. Once I see ads for a shady product, I vanish like a ghost. I realize many folks are into blogging for the money, and thatâ€™s fine â€“ just donâ€™t be so blatant about it.

Addendum:

For comparison (if you are into Internet marketing), here are the Midas Oracle stats for November 2009 (click here for October 2009, which was a record):

Midas Oracle is 2 times smaller than Overcoming Bias.

By the way, I have a big business development plan ($$$) for Midas Oracle. I will tell you later.

P.S.: The stats would be much better if I opened the comments more widely. I don’t, because it saturates the server. In the future, we will see.
