<\/a><\/p>\nOur file server crashed for over four hours this evening or we would have broken 14,000 hard clicks for the week. Our main readership comes to us by RSS and email subscriptions, but hard clicks are often the source of new subscribers. We had two days this week where BloodhoundBlog scored over 2,500 unique visitors, more than double what we were doing at the end of last year.<\/p>\n
What was the huge controversy that brought all this traffic? You guessed it: Conforming loan rates<\/a>.<\/p>\n This was a big week for us, too, because we were finally able to launch BloodhoundBlog Unchained<\/a>. There are a million Realtors and a million lenders out there who need to find a way to blend their traditional marketing into the Web 2.0 world, and we’re grateful that we have the platform and the opportunity to teach what we know — even as we are learning everything we can.<\/p>\n How did BloodhoundBlog get this big, this fast? We’ve never cared about traffic, and because of that we’ve never cowered or catered or kow-towed to anyone — and we never will. Speaking only for myself, I have never cared about being popular — very much the contrary! What I do<\/i> care about is telling the truth — completely. That we are where we are is as much a testament to your integrity as it is to ours. For this I am very grateful.<\/p>\n But hang on tight. We’re in for a hell of a ride — and we’re just getting started.
