Only three. One of them very infrequently, and another only as a diarist.

I thought your post was worth linking to on all three.

:^)

razib, why do you write these two blogs at all? ...wouldn't it be easier to have just one "Gene Expression"?

...wouldn't it be easier to have just one "Gene Expression"?

yes, it would be easier. but

1) moving gnxp the group blog to SB isn't the best in my opinion. i think leaving the group blog here makes it so that everyone has full freedom. some of the ScienceBlogs are group blogs, but i don't know how they handle remuneration, etc. (probably a split).here we're just doing it for the love. don't get concerned that i'm whoring myself out for SB for the $$$, it is more like .01 X $.

2) which brings me to why i accepted the SB gig: more audience. i am doing anything from 500-1000 uniques over at SB. here we are around 3000, but a large % of these are search engine results (not a bad thing). over at SB they are mostly referrals (some of GNXP itself course!), many from other SBs and from the SB frontpage. a different audience is over there. scientific american has linked to me multiple times. people like brown guacho found me through SB, and now they also check out this blog. the fact is that GNXP is in a blog ghetto, we don't get "instalaunches," nor do we want them, we want to grow organically. the SB audience is our target, and the other gene expression is the portal drug :)

3) on a practical note, recpicoral linking is excellent to crank up pagerank.
