though it was such a long time-ish
that I was stuck near Eightish
kinda hurry-up-and waitish.
Sorta knock myself out-ish
yet still not much more Cloutish
cause progress was so slowish
page views going to and fro-ish
That I was disillusion-ish
but now I'm change-my-tune-ish
because I am Clout Nine-ish
(hey it's-about-time-ish.)
But I do wonder-when-ish
I'll ever get to Ten-ish.
Translation
When I hit a hundred thousand page views, I didn't yell out "yay"
I didn't write an article at 150 K
So I think I'm due to celebrate that I'm Clout 9 today.
Translation of the translation:
Associated Content writers go up in Clout number (and presumably compensation) as their page views and content increase. We all start at Clout 1 heading for the faraway Clout 10. Most of us spend a seeming eternity in Clout 8.

Post a CommentOh yes, I'm stuck at Clout 8. So I really understand how great it must be to reach that next, DISTANT milestone. Congrats!!
Funny, witty, clever expression--as always!
Congratulations. I too have not wrote those types of articles. I agree that Clout 8 is like an island that is that tough to escape from.
1000's ARE cheering for you, Linda Louise! Your clout being 9-ish isn't just fab-ish, it fan-freakin-tastic!!! Congratulations! WOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! That funny little poem was a great way to announce your cool achievement, too. You just got creativity comin' out the wazoo-ish, & compared to me, Lindy, you're one of those crazy genius over-achiever types… you worked HARD for the clout! So enjoy, & may your earning increase so much you can afford the gas to come see me again in Bloomington!
Congratulations and amen! (From one permanent resident of the #8 clout)
Congratulations! I was ecstatic when I hit 9 last month! It is a long, steady climb isn't it! Enjoy your marvelous achievement!
Returning comments . . . I'm WAAAAY behind. One of these days, I'll be caught up . . . for now, reading and PV love!
Congratulations! You have reached 9 because your writings are excellent all the timish! [Giggle] 10 is not too far away for you now! God bless.
