Bringing people to our blog
My colleagues were discussing ways to drive traffic to our blog and I suggested an experiment. If I listed terms that are among the most searched on the Web, would that by itself bring people to our blog? I don't know, but at a recent gathering of editorial board members, everyone said give it a try. . . So in the interest of journalistic exploration, here goes:
Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, Britney Spears, Pamela Anderson, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, Reese Witherspoon, Natalie Portman, Oprah Winfrey, Howard Stern, Atkins Diet, South Beach Diet, prom dresses, prom hairstyles, taxes, IRS, poker, Texas Hold'em, music lyrics, lottery, baby names, horoscopes, tattoos, American Idol, CSI, Harry Potter, Michael Jackson, 50 Cent, Usher, Three 6 Mafia, R. Kelly, NCAA, NFL, Major League Baseball, NASCAR, WWE, Ultimate Fighting Championship, digital cameras, iPod, xBox 360, Nike, PS3, V For Vendetta, celebrity news, chat, dating, loans, South Park, The Simpsons.
Remember, this is only a test to find out a bit more about how the Internet works. I hope you're not disappointed if you came to this blog hoping to find in-depth information on any of the topics listed in the previous paragraph. But we have plenty of other interesting postings on a variety of subjects. You might like what you find on our opinion blog.
I'll let readers know the results of this experiment soon. Thanks for searching.
