Ok, time for an experiment. I have noticed sites getting great amounts of traffic for innocent acts. I would like to see if I can do this on purpose. The traffic is routed to these sites via search engines. To give a few examples of what I am talking about, check this out.
Michael at Move the crowd, found info about nude pictures of Rapper Eve. Now this post was to question whether she did what the nude pictures say she did. The photos were not posted here.
Kevin at WizBang and Glenn at Hi, I’m Black, both posted about an “accident” that happened on Cat Schwartz’s site, involving a mix up in some photos. I’m sure that these will generate traffic because from what I understand, Cat is one of the TechTV girls and she even has an article called Get Your Blog Noticed on the TechTV site. This “accident” wasn’t one of the tips in the article. ![]()
This morning, I saw a site that talked about the pictures of Uday and Qusay dead bodies. The innocent thing about it is that the names were spelled incorrectly and the post talked about how wrong America was for showing the pictures. They got an unexpected traffic spike for that. (If it is your site that this happened to, please let me know.)
I don’t know how long it takes for the traffic to bump but hopefully I will soon know. Let me kick around a few more names that might generate some traffic.
Bob Hope dead at age 100
Kobe Bryant’s Accuser Is Colorado Woman
Baylor basketball player Patrick Dennehy
Former roommate Carlton Dotson
Celia Cruz “La Reina de la Salsa”
I think that should do it. Let’s see what happens. I’ll enter a post of success or failure in a few days.

I got 1500 hits in 2 days over the Kobe business.
Are you sure you want to waste your bandwidth like that? I actually took the Eve pics down for a few days b/c I was sick of buring my bandwidth on those people. I’d rather get quality hits over quantity.
Well here’s one effect of you linking to my story - I’m now listed in popdex (http://www.popdex.com/c/1490607), and any clown that searches for nude pics of anybody is seeing my Eve post in the results
So far I’m getting no traffic due to my blatant attempt. Back to the drawing board!
you’re in the top 10 google results for the eve pics now
Traffic has been picking up too! But it appears to be dispersed evenly thoughout multiple articles. I guess this site is maturing into a diverse source of information.
