So, just for yesterday alone, that's a single $10.01 toast for 9 visits; the rate comes out to 1.11 $/visit. As an experiment, it would be interesting to compare this with other toasters. I'll try publish this same rate tomorrow as well. Anyone out there?

Anyway, regardless of the numbers above, it is the philantropic, cool and experimental nature of this that really interests me

Update: Nov 21st -> 12 more visits refered from yournameontoast.com. Nov 22nd -> 3 more. Total visits for first 3 days: 24. The updated rate is 24 visits / $10.01 = 2.4 visits/$.

Pete from Your Name On Toast :: Your name, except on toast wrote me a nice e-mail letting me know about his site. I like the fact that 100% of the profits goes to charity. I think this is remarkable, so I went ahead and placed a toasty ad for this very same blog (one more time, there is something 'circular' about all this... check out my article on Borges, labyrinths, dreaming, graphs, trees, blogs, the internet and viral marketing).

Seth also wrote about the toasts page . I confess, yes, I'm addicted to Seth's blog.

My toast is not online yet, but I will try to update this post once it gets there, maybe with some traffic details or something alike . Go toast, feel good, have fun and also check out my previous post on mmmzr.
