We appear there quite regularly (I check it, fanatically!)
However there are ups and downs (we can be 98 one week and 17 the next...).
I don't think it has direct connection with (so-called) spamming. But spreading the word (as I try to do myself) is, of course, helpful.
Another place to check out is the pgae reads on weblogs.com (go to updates, and from there to top 100). Sorry I don't recall the URL.
The information there is cummulative so it is interesting to compare it to the userland site data. However, it is a bit misleading. Sites that are lond time abandoned are still prominent there etc.
Another stat is the member count, of this site. This is growing, but too slowly for my tastes. We are around 30 now.
Of course, lurkers, who don't post, can live a long life without becoming members.
So as I wrote on the banner: join today!
