Blog tramp?

My lovely wife read yesterday's blog entry, and exclaimed, "You're just trying to get hits on your blog for anyone searching for 'Dr. Who'!" Actually, I almost didn't even write about the show for that very reason.

Don't get me wrong, hits are indeed a bit addictive. Those who stumble across this site just blog-tripping are nice, but those who find it via a real search make me feel . . . useful. This is especially true if they are searching for advice about the academic job search or single malt Scotch whisky (namely because I actually have something meaningful to SAY).
