Amazon.com has a cute little marketing gadget on their web site. You can see the results of their "Muggle Counter," which "...tracks the approximate number of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows books ordered from the www.amazon.com site and from U.S. syndicated store sites, such as Borders.com, but excludes all third-party seller arrangements."
Hmmm... How could I adapt that marketing angle... A bite counter? "How many people have bitten on suggestions to visit Morven's site?" Byte counter? Ooooh... Guess how many bytes in the file for The Old Power Returns that is being released June 23, 2007? Oooh, yeah. I think I can talk my publisher into that... Guess how many bytes in the PDF for only the text (that is, not including the cover) that went to our printer, and win a free book, bookmarks, and a couple of toy surprises! Yeah, watch www.harvestshadows.com for details!
