Sex sells
You know, I’ve been typing my fingers to the bone keeping people up to date on the war in Lebanon, and my traffic has increased about 50%. But in the last day, I’ve seen a sharp upswing of about another 50%. Why?
Because Steve H. says he’s lusting after me. First at Moxie’s, now at his place.
Mind you, I’m not exactly complaining. A temporary upswing in traffic often brings a permanent bunch of new readers, in numbers depending on the link.
But it never fails—let another blogger mention me in the least bit sexually, and everyone runs over to see what’s the deal.
I still get hits—every day—from Outside the Beltway’s Blog Chix Pix post. Every. Single. Day. And that post is nearly three years old.
This just goes to show you: Human beings never truly advance out of the high school stage. We just pretend that we did.

Just checked the link which you provided. You look cool and unaffectedc in the black leather jacket and jeans. Can’t take New Jersey out of the girl.

I don’t think it’s the NJ in me. I know a lot of uncool people from NJ.
I’m just cool, chsw. No two ways about it.

So THATS what you look like…
Hmmm…. your voice fits your looks….
I didn’t know that you had a pic posted of yourself so I had assumed that Steve H was merely lusting after your mind. ;)
Then again, what is wrong with lust, hmmm? For us guys, its as natural as eating and sleeping. Gotta have a little of it everyday to make the sun shine. :)
Nice pic of you in the topless Jeep. Woo woo!
(Qualifier for those guys who read too quickly: The Jeep is topless - not Meryl).

Hold it. Show me where I pretended I had advanced.

Too late! Traffic just went up another 50%.
STILL getting hits from that ass Joyner, Meryl? Aiyiyi. And you’re never tempted to redirect those viewers to this?

Speaking for myself, the picture in the Jeep and the picture next to the cannon are cool but one making out with Steve H on a camel…priceless.

Steve, you are, of course, the exception to many rules. Just assume I’m talking about everyone else when I make a generalization.
Unless I’m mentioning camels.

Rob, you are a bad, bad webbis.

Hi. Steve sent me.

I found that gossip seems to drive up traffic, too. Since ranting about our friend Mel, my traffic is up (not into your lofty stratospheres, of course).
Also, having some random old DNS entries pointing to one’s server helps with traffic, too. :)

why do you use the term “advance” out of the high school stage?
are we supposed to?

Yeah, gossip works too, Andy, particularly the flavor of the week. I’m getting a few searches on Mel Gibson.
Hi, Ed. The answer is no.
Tommy: Heh.

Well, Moxie posts pictures of herself in her underwear and she gets lots of hits, Meryl. Just trying to help your count.

Alex, do the words “Never gonna happen” mean anything to you?
