Hello to logo linkers

[UPDATED—see bottom of the post]

This isn’t so much a posting as a test of the various search engines out there on the Intertubes. My “traffic” is up quite a bit in recent days, almost entirely as a result of Phillies phans looking for their club’s logo. A bit over a year ago, when the Phils slipped past the fading Mets to win the 2007 NL East race, I included the logo in an exultary posting.

That Phillies logo in my September 30, 2007 posting has become the most common entree to Peace Tree Farm during this baseball season. Understandably, it’s become a really common entree in the last couple of weeks. But I’d prefer to have my guests—still rare, but becoming more numerous recently—find their way to this year’s postings instead of last year’s.

So I’m reposting the logo. And I’m linking it to a recent posting on a political topic, to see whether that gets any of the logo-seekers to look elsewhere. Having no particular knowledge of how search engines operate, I have no idea whether it’ll have any particular effect.
