How to Build Blog Traffic
WindyPundit has it figured out:
I should blog more about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and adoption, Janice Dickinson and car accidents, Tawny Kitaen and cocaine, whether Naomi Campbell beats her assistants, Nancy O'Dell (whoever she is), Pamela Anderson's breakup with Kid Rock, Paris Hilton and/or Lindsey Lohan (for whatever it is this time), Star Jones Reynolds' career, Tom Cruise (not that there's anything wrong with that), and because she's still getting press, Princess Diana.
Check out his update for further ideas.
UPDATE: And then there's this from Eugene Volokh:
Sex (or SexLaw) Sells -- Surprise!
Our unique visitor count Monday was 35697, and Tuesday was 38423 -- both near our historic highs. (The norm for a typical weekday is in the low 20000s.) My sense is that most of the extra visits were to the initial Ten Years in Prison for 17-Year-Old Who Had Consensual Oral Sex with 15-Year-Old post.
No, we won't be upping our blogging on SexLaw as a result. (We'd blog about it independently of visitor interest.) But it's interesting, though of course completely unsurprising, that this is indeed what many people want to read.
