(2003-07-26) — Several so-called “webloggers” announced today that they would begin ridiculing presidential candidate Howard Dean on their so-called “blogs” in order to increase site traffic.
The announcements came after a Washington Post story said supporters of Gov. Dean’s presidential bid are using email to deluge reporters who write negative things about their candidate.
“My sitemeter’s been languishing around 25 visitors per day,” said one unnamed blogger. “I figure if I can tick off Dean’s backers I could get that up to 50 or even 75.”
Editor’s Note: The vast editorial staff at ScrappleFace will never resort to attacking the anti-American leftist wacko Governor of Vermont in order to increase visitors to this site.

Scrapple Face thinks bloggers will start attacking Dean just so we send them traffic. James DiBenedetto gives us some little hints to DDFers. NTodd plugs DDF, saying he likes the fact that we’re supporter-based (permabloggered)….
