    Strange, you had 11 votes after 8 hours. Now after 22h (that's 14h on top of the frontage) you still have 11 votes. Voting rings can't replace real community support.

    That's in line with how most posts go. They get all their votes in the first half day, and then fall off. Everyone else loves the stuff I bring from my site. You and one other jealous troll do not. How in the world would there be a vote ring, and only me at the top of the rankings (seems like there would be other members of the vote ring up there too no?) I invite Rand and Dharmesh to check the IPs. I will share an inbound link (you tweet the piss out of your links, so surely you aren't going to indict me for that), a couple friends will Upvote if they like the articles (which they usually do because I pick the content I share here selectively, and my following is relevant), then a couple people here will UpVote it, that's the trend I'm seeing. I'm sure the site owners can confirm that. I've brought several dozen people in as users of this site, and I scan the articles almost every day myself. I've never ran into a kid as jealous as you in the SEO community, get over it. The only articles that get votes over a wider window of time are posts from SEOmoz, or stories involving SEO celebrities. It has been like that since I first started using this site - every SEO article I read that fits that description is already shared here by the time I read it. Quality tutorials and information articles rarely get more than 15 votes, and the votes follow the same pattern almost every time.
