Discovering MLBTR
I'm always curious as to how people come about MLBTradeRumors.com. Fortunately, it's something I can and do track.
64% of you visit the site directly, probably from a bookmark. Thanks for that.
Another 12% of you come from other websites, with the MLB.com forums, Orioles Hangout, and Peter Abraham's fine Yankees blog leading the way. Visit those sites if you haven't already. Some others that have been kind to me: MetsBlog, Viva El Birdos, South Side Sox, McCovey Chronicles, and Bleed Cubbie Blue. All are the leaders for their respective teams.
The other 24% come from search engines, especially Google. Sometimes I like to flip through the actual search terms that brought people here. My favorite of the month: 83 people found MLBTR by searching for "ross gload wallpaper." I need to write about that more often; I just put some up in my condo.

I believe the first time I ever found it I was googling something like Baseball trade rumors...and have it bookmarked now. The RSS is awesome by the way!

How did you find all that information?
I like him and all but I'm shocked that 83 people search for Ross Gload wallpapers ;)

I don't remember how I found this blog... it was one of the other fantasy blogs I subscribe to, I'm pretty sure.
Are you taking account in your link referencing to feed readers? I read your feed through Google Reader, others may read it through Bloglines or some other online feed reader. Still others may have some sort of installed app to read feeds.

I think I searched something about the Mark Prior for Miguel Tejada trade, or I was on another site reading about it when it referenced this site.

I think I was doing a search for "BALL PARK FRANKS" when I came across this site. You must be some sort of Google wizard, Tim.
Wonder if I can get a Ball Park Frank wallpaper?

"ross gload wallpaper."...I just put some up in my condo."
That MAY be the reason it's still on the market. :)

I think I found it by googling baseball trade rumors and since then it's been a book mark. I really enjoy the site even though my posts may seem disagreeable. That's just my nature. :)

Found in through Google ~ and glad I did!
Have to say though, I almost feel like I’m missing out on something big not having a Ross Gload wallpaper of my own…

I was looking for more information on the Tex trade to Atlanta and came across this site. It has been my homepage at work ever since.
