The Biggest Name Drop of 2012 – A List

Because there are never enough “top lists” of the year, I too will add to this flurry of blog posts. However, mine is much different than any other fluff you have read thus far. It is a list of companies, universities and organizations that have visited my site in 2012; the ultimate name drop. This is a list that proves you are currently reading The Most Interesting Blog in the World!

How can a lowly PPC blog make such an audacious statement? With visits from NASA, Harvard, MIT, Amazon, Google, 3M, Yale and NBC, I can say that I have had some of the most interesting organizations in the World visit my website this year.

Cutting out clutter, like standard ISPs, I got a good picture of companies and organizations that actually visited and used my website in 2012. I hand-picked the top 100 most interesting visitors and broke them out into three main categories: Universities, Corporations, and Government Agencies. These are legit visits with a purpose, no bounces.
