Shady’s back, friends. And we have a little work to do.

Back in the day (and by that we mean Summer 2006), Media Orchard had the following rankings –

Technorati: 2,800
Alexa: 45,000

Today, we’re at:

Technorati: 23,000
Alexa: 396,000

See what happens when you don’t post for six months? We blame our clients — so needy!

In any case, we love a challenge. We’ll provide regular progress reports on our blog rehab efforts.

Hey, we’ve got an idea: Why don’t you welcome Media Orchard back with some welcome-back link love? Here’s how it works –

1. Scroll your mouse down to where you see the time stamp, and click on it;

2. Cut and paste the url that appears in your browser;

3. Insert that url as a link in your own blog post;

4. Then, publish your post! It’s that easy!

Yep … we’re already getting back into the swing of things.

(Oh — and as for Orchardman up there, he seems to have an irrational fear that Isaiah Washington is going to appear out of nowhere and kick his ass. So if you see him coming, please let us know.)
