Project Mai Tai – weblife without Google

For those of you just tuning in, I’ve decided to make Project Mai Tai (domain banned from Google) into an experiment: how far can a decent site get without Google?

I’ve got a couple of fairly regular commenters now.  I’ve had a couple of recent story tips in emails.  My bookmark rate is around 50%, which I hope means the site is “sticky” for those who find it.  I’ve got two Bloglines subscribers and one from Google Feedreader.  I’ve got no linkbait going on – I’m just posting as often as possible (aiming for 3 times per day).

I’ve had one good inbound that has brought me around 80 visitors over a couple of weeks and is still bringing traffic.  And I’m going to try something bold today that might bring quite a bit more than that.  I’ll let you know.
