A Word A Day — gasconade

gasconade
 

PRONUNCIATION:

(gas-kuh-NAYD)

MEANING:

noun: Boastful talk.
verb intr. : To boast extravagantly.

ETYMOLOGY:

From French gasconnade, from gasconner (to boast), after Gascon, a native of the Gascony region in France. First recorded use: 1709.

NOTES:

Were people from Gascony full of boast and bravado? Not necessarily. Historical rivalries lead one people to generalize others' names as having some shortcoming and some of those names become part of the language. Other examples of such words are solecism solecism, Boeotian, and fescennine.

USAGE:

“Stanley Hauerwas's explanation is not appreciated in an era of instant broadcast and electronic gasconade.”
Irony at UVa; The Richmond Times-Dispatch (Virginia); Aug 2, 2010.

We notice on a recent web search Hermann Mo News again was found on PAGE 1.  We also noticed that the web site that keeps claiming to break local web Traffic Records, was also on page 1 but under 'Sponsored Links,' THAT MEANS THE HAD TO PAY $$$ TO GET ON PAGE 1. If they really are so popular, why is it they have to pay to get recognized by google?

A local Hermann Missouri website has made a very odd claim of 10,000+ page views in a single day.  The site in question does not appear to have enough content to explain this high volume.  So we checked it out. 

			Alexa Rank:	116078 Down 31155 ranks.

WE SEE NO SPIKE IN ALEXA GRAPH ABOVE!!!

Page Views does NOT necessarily mean increased traffic.  If the same people keep returning over and over that would boost page views.  It should also be noted that when you land on web site and they only offer a headline and one sentence description and then you click READ MORE, you have just been counted as 2 page views to read ONE story.  Even worse, you finish reading the story, then what...you click on HOME and...yet another page view is counted...that's 3 PAGE VIEWS and you only read ONE STORY!!!

If you are a subscriber and log in, that also counts as an added page view.  There are many techniques web sites use to boost page view numbers.  In other words, bragging about page views is very self serving and really doesn't SELL ANYTHING!!!

Lets Review:


1) You land at the web site = 1 page view

2) You Login = another 1 page view
3) You Land on the sites HOME page = another 1 page view

4) You find a story your interested in and click READ MORE = another 1 page view
5) You Finish reading the story and then click HOME because there is nothing left on the page to read this = 
another 1 page view
SUMMARY OF 1-5
If you are a subscriber to the un-named web site to read one story on that web site totals 5 counted Page Views, in fact any time you click on anything on a web site it counts as a Page View unless that click takes you to a totally different web site, then it is considered an exit link.
In other words, bragging about page views is very self serving and really DOESN'T SELL ANYTHING!!!

 Why Didn't They Provide A Link to Prove Their Claim? 

Why don't they have a visible visitor counter? ALL WEB SITES HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO HAVE A WEEKLY COUNTER THAT IS VISIBLE TO THE VISITOR!!! ___________________________________________________________________________ A local Hermann Missouri website has made a very odd claim of 10,000+ visits in a single day.  The site in question does not appear to have enough content to explain this high volume.  So we checked it out. The site seems to be using this claim as an advertising gimmick to drum up ad business.  They claim their source for these numbers is Alexa.com, however when we looked them up on said site we could not confirm their claims. We did notice on Alexia.com that the local site gets 55% of its traffic from facebook users yet has less than 500 facebook friends. Upstream Sites Which sites did users visit immediately preceding local site in question? % of Unique Visits Percent of visits to (uniqued daily by user) preceded by a visit to the upstream site. Upstream Site 55.24% facebook.com 24.76% google.com 11.43% youtube.com 5.71% ngnn.com 2.86% visithermann.com Furthermore we also noticed that to read most of their stories on the site one must click READ MORE, which counts as another page view (visit) to the same story, this is a cleaver way inflating actual web traffic.  We also noticed unusually big jumps in their 'viewers currently online counter' every time we clicked to another page the number increased by more than just couple. Web Traffic numbers are very easy to manipulate so we feel it is necessary to WARN Area Businesses not to just take the word of the ad man, do a little research yourself! __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ Reciprocal links: http://HermannHearsay.blogspot.com/(Hermann Area News, Commentary & Discussion)
