Sex, the iPhone, and Winning Traffic
I was going to start this little piece about how there seem to be two hot topics that generate traffic to a website.
The I realised, there’s actually three hot topics.
But first, the original two. This blog had been quietly pottering along and not really generating much interest until two features.
One was called “Selling Sex” and concerned a possible escort agency client. The other was about the new iPhone update. Thing is, although they generated spikes, the ongoing benefit in traffic has been significant.
I also added an RSS feed to the blog from our Interconnect IT site.
Then we published a WordPress User guide.
Traffic’s been much more significant since then.
But what are the three things that generate the most traffic?
- Anything about the latest hot gadget.
- Sex. We’re really simple creatures. People are interested in sex.
- Articles about how to draw more traffic to your blog.
Anything else will just plod along, picking up scraps from obscure Google searches - especially on a rather techie biased blog such as this one.
Anybody else care to comment with other surefire traffic winners?
