I am not going to go into all of the details but John Chow and Shoemoney (Jeremy Schoemaker) had an RSS contest last month. Shoemoney won by a landslide when on the last day his number shot up astronomically. Not much has been said, but yesterday Google didn’t report numbers to Feedburner. No big deal here but everyone was down 40 – 60% in their reporting.
Today when Google fixed the reporting problem everyone recovered except Shoemoney. He is down to only a few hundred more than John (a loss of at least 7 thousand). hm….
Does this look suspicious? I am sure John Chow thinks so.
** Note to the readers. I do read both blogs, but prefer Shoemoney hands down over John Chow. Yet the stats are the stats.
