Weird. My share price is a lot lower though. Well it's a new blog so maybe I'll catch up to you eventually. I think I need more incoming links to raise it up. Help! Everybody link to me so my price goes up! LOL Yeah, mine is on there too. Weird. My share price is a lot lower though. Well it’s a new blog so maybe I’ll catch up to you eventually.

For example, SuperPopularBlog.com (a $100 value), SemiPopularBlog.com (for $50) and NobodyKnowsImHere.com (for $3) all link to you. The "value" of the Hole is $153 - divided equally between the Kevins and everyone else in the right column. Share value is $153 / # shares issued. Share value goes way up when Instapundit links to you. When Instapundit adds more content, and your link falls off the main page, your value goes to crap (so you need permanent links to stay valuable.) Since TypePad, BlogCity, Blogger, MoveableType, and such require a link to their site, their "blogvalue" is astronomical - a cumulative value of all their sites. If you don't want to play, ignore it. The worst that can happen is someone add or remove a link to the Hole in order to manipulate the price.
