Interesting commentary, also here. To be honest, I only added the explanation link to the Popularity Contest percentage after getting lots of questions about what it meant. I certainly didn’t intend to benefit from the link to the explanation page… who wants GoogleJuice™ to a random page with a ? as the keyword? I did think that a side effect might be people liking the idea and choosing to download the plugin themselves, so I guess my intentions were not completely pure.

It’s always interesting to see people assign motives to my actions, especially when the motives are their own invention and were often never something I considered. Something about hindsight being 20/20 might be appropriate to insert here…
