Reply #18: What's your traffic like now?

I noticed that your pagerank jumped to "5" recently. What is your traffic like now?

According to SiteMeter.com, I'm at 586 unique visits a day. However, that number varies depending on what you measure. For example, BlogTopSites says I'm getting over 4500 unique hits a day... I swear, I don't understand how they are coming up with that number! (My server logs say about 750+ unique visitors, but I like to quote SiteMeter because they are more standardized.)

There was a time when I was thrilled if more than a dozen people visited Brainshrub.com.

ON EDIT: It would be interesting to have a conversation as to what is an A, B, C or Z-list blog.

Here's my thumbnail:

Kos, Wonkette = A list (Known even to non-bloggers, 10,000+ visitors a day, pagerank of 8+)
DU, ThisModernWorld = B list (Known mainly by people who are political wonks, 10,000+ visitors a day, pagerank of 6+)
NickLewis, TheRudePundit = C list (Known mainly among hardcore bloggers, 1000 - 10,000 visitors a day, pagerank of 5+)

I don't want to get into D+ lists because it's so arbitrary. Furthermore, being on an ABC list is no sign of quality. For example, by my measure, FreeRepublic is a B-list. (When I talk about quality, I am refering to layout, content and user-interface - not the politics.)
