I once wrote a post entitled ‘What does it mean to be a French woman?’ in which I was seriously questioning cultural stereotypes. This post still gets lots of hits, via google searches like: ‘French women, what are they like?’ or my favorite (seen it ’several times):’Why are French women mean?’
LOL

This is hilarious. I don’t think it hurts one bit to sex up our blogs a little. After all, there’s a reason why the word sex gets so much traffic…

[...] go, the comments expand the topic and provide additional insight (or laughter!). RhodesTer wrote a tongue in cheek post (Warning, there is a graphic image at the top) about driving blog traffic and the subject matter [...]

JC, you should meet my friend Chris, "The Hollywood Superman".. I think I still have his phone number.. he'd make a good interview subject. He's referenced HERE, but don't tell him what I said, for obvious reasons.

Snigger, I know! Gave me hours of entertainment that one. I get a few clicks every day from Google from people asking how to become like Spider-Man or how to fight crime. I’m not kidding. They’re not asking ‘what was Spider-Man’s origin story”, which I could understand, but “How to…”

It is so tempting to come up with some other posts to really mine this topic…

“How to sew a super-hero costume in lycra on a budget?”
“How to leap off tall buildings without death!”
“How to get arrested as a fetish-suit wearing vigilante loitering outside banks.”

JC, Ha! Are you kidding, of course! Leaping buildings, flying, stopping time, not to mention that all female superheroes wear kick butt boots. I happen to love boots! I’ve been known to blog about boots and Wonder Woman. In fact, you’ve now inspired a super hero post, so thanks!

Kimota (aka JC) – Wow, that commenter would HATE my blog, since I pretty much do nothing BUT poke fun and seldom if ever give real advice.

Karen (aka foxy lady) – You’ve never wanted to be a super hero? I’d like to be made of invisible gum, so I could stretch but not be seen.. and taste good too.

I was shutting down for the night when I spotted Kimota’s comment in my email. I read and after laughing hysterically I had to come back and comment. I can barely stop laughing to type…people really want to know how to become a super hero? ROFL! And the perverts and stupid people sent me over the edge. Thanks for the end of the night laugh. OMG…yea, you really can be a superhero. ROFL!!!

Wow, that was… unexpected. Artichokes and Entrecard. Hmmm.

Yup, Entrecard is great for discovering new blogs (hence yours) while also boosting that high-bounce traffic as well as people flick through to drop and go.

As for Kimota, it’s the magic word uttered by Mike Moran to transform him into Miracle Man. You are right that the ’sex traffic’ and even the ‘I want to learn how to be a superhero’ traffic are almost always disappointed by what they find, meaning conversions (getting them to stick around or subscribe) are terribly low. It has produced some interesting comments though as one reader complained (with expletives, so it didn’t get published) my superhero article was stupid because it was poking fun and didn’t give him any real advice.

Sad as it may seem, this is really true and works whether you intend it to or not. One of the most popular posts on my blog is still Sex, Blogs and Screenwriting. It's about Diablo Cody's rise to Holywood stardom and how she used sex to build a poular blog name that opened doors for her. Ironically, in talking about Diablo, I end up with a post using sex to boost my blog in much the same way. Even sadder, currently the number one post on my blog is How to Become a Superhero. It receives more search engine traffic than anything else, from people seriously searching using the phrase 'how to become a superhero' or variants thereof. So I don't only have perverts, I have stupid people.

Well, that “o” word got me all hot and bothered when I first saw it. I dove into your post. Came out completely dissatisfied.
