Visits from Tenkar

Forgive me, but I really must ask.  Of late, I cannot help but notice that a significant number of readers are drifting through my doors from Tenkar's Tavern.  This is up from zero just a few months ago.  I have no particular issue with Tenkar; he's a gentle soul and his podcasts are occasionally interesting to listen to, if juvenile.  But he is very definitely not the sort of role-player that finds me interesting.  Seems to me that I used to not even be on his blog roll as little as a year ago (but I could be mistaken about that).

Is there anyone who would be able to clear up the mystery?  Has there been some discussion about me, or is there one reader who has suddenly taken to checking my blog 20 times a day through Tenkar's site?  I'd love to know.  As I said, in October the traffic was non-existent but it has lately climbed into the third spot on a very regular basis.

Anyone?

    You're not linked in his blogroll. A quick skim of posts doesn't suggest a direct link to anything topical. And the biggest news in D&D circles is that Zak S is a piece of shit ~ which isn't news to anyone paying attention, but there you go.

    Tenkar's site has an automated list of recent blogposts. You post frequently so you appear on that list frequently. I suspect it's as simple as that.

    You're on Tenkar's blog-roll now. Whenever you post something new, hundreds of OSR gamers see it.

    It’s probably me. I have a routine where I start with Dreams in the Lich House and Tenkar’s Tavern as my first two sites out of habit and before work. Then I branch out from there. During the day I revisit various sites that interest me. I fall upon your site quite a bit to see what you are discussing. Most of your work is above my pay grade.

    Rob Conley from Bat in the Attic was recently interviewed on Tenkar's podcast which drew me over there briefly. Perhaps this is the source of the cross-pollination?

    Ah, I see it now. His blogroll is at the bottom of the page instead of the side.
