Christopher – thanks for this post. Cute? Maybe… but I thought my site had been hacked. Cute? I don’t think so… because the Smiley doesn’t show up when working on my site from my primary computer (where I installed the plugin from). The smiley only shows up to visitors and I only noticed once I viewed my website while traveling. WTF. This sure makes it seem like an effort to hide the smiley, if so why? And why not tell us about it and allow control? I have to seriously question what this plugins true goals are. Uninstalled for me until I find out.

For some reason trackbacks won’t even display on my blog (presumably there’s a template tag missing from my heavily customised theme). This used to bother me, but actually I’ve come to realise that I find trackbacks get in the way.As you say, they’re generally out of context. Also they tend not to give enough information to glean the context they were written in, you have to leave the current page in order to read them, and often their authors are referring to the original post but not actually commenting on it.If I ever get around to figuring why trackbacks won’t display on my blog, I might try bunching them together at the end of the comments. That way they should make sense as a group, and not interfere with the discussion.

With havin much written cotnent ever run in to any problems of plagorism or even copyright violation? My site has a lot of completely special cotnent I have either produced myself as well as outsourced however it seems a lot of it will be popping that up all over the net without my personal agreement. Do you understand any solutions to help avoid cotnent from being scammed? I'd certainly be thankful.

You have to have site that is popular in order to get hits. Take myspace for example it very popular among kids thus the word of mouth advertisement is used. This I think is the best way to increase traffic. The second best option is to go around and post your website into all the search engine databases you can find. Also you might want to try Googles adsense program which can get you some money also. Most big search engines like Yahoo! or Google will let you also put a ad on their results page. Linking with othersites is really not that great. If you are using that as your main source of getting people to come I don’t see how you got 200 700 daily comming.

Wowza, problem solved like it never haeneppd.
