Michelle Malkin The Gift That Keeps On Giving
June 30th, 2008 by joe
Holy Hot Columnists, Batman, Michelle has done it for us again!
As a lower tier, C-grade blogger, I can tell you the one thing that makes it all worthwhile are those unexpected moments when you get a “spike” in traffic for absolutely no reason, and a whole bunch of people visit your site more or less accidentally. Ninety-nine percent of blog “marketing” consists of trying to pull various tricks that cause visitors to click on a link to your site. Whether through clever identification of popular google searches, or just trying to convince Glenn Reynolds you’ve written something worthwhile (tried many times and like the cycles of the planets it has ALWAYS proved beyond my control - if it ever works, I will know death is at hand), the basic idea is “Ha! Made you look!”
Once again, the driving force is my NRI photo of Michelle, because MSN has seen fit to make her their featured “popular search” of the day (click her photo then “See also: Images”). There she is, beginning of the second row.
(More form NRI, here and here.)
I know the vast majority of these folks will never visit here again, but occasional flood of gawkers is nice.
Thanks, Michelle! If you ever want me to return the favor, I’ll be happy to provide a head shot which you can publish with abandon.
UPDATE: Approaching 2500 visits. That’s a couple grand at least from Michelle, and counting.
Y’know what? When the Malkinator brings that kind of traffic, the lithesome one goes back on the front page again.
