So I have a theory. On my sidebar, you will see a box that says “Popular Posts.” For those of you who are too lazy to scroll down (I’m mostly talking to you non-Macbook users who have to bring your cursor all the way over to the scroll bar and draaaaaaaaag that stupid bar down to the correct place, instead of simply placing two fingers on your trackpad and effortlessly navigating the page. I totally understand, by the way…when I want to scroll on a PC laptop I feel like I’m scraping superglue off tree bark with a pipe cleaner. [I find more uses for those every day!] Anyway…), here’s a picture of that box:
You’ll notice that a lot of these posts are some of my better ones. Perhaps you're chuckling to yourself about something funny that I wrote in one of these previous posts. Such fond memories, right readers? But did you notice that Pictionary one? Do you remember reading that? Was that a good post?
[It’s okay if you want to say no. I understand.]
The truth is, this is not a very good post of mine. It was early off in this blog’s life, and I guess I thought it was cute.
And yet...
It’s one of the most popular posts. Why? This is my theory: The title has five board games listed in it. There are clearly some game enthusiasts out there who look tirelessly to find a good board game-themed blog who stumbled upon Popcorn Day in a Google search. They took a look around, saw that this was just a silly blog of some guy who draws pictures of his dreams, and stepped out. Thus, this post receives more visits.
To test this theory, I have titled this post with the names of current celebrities and pop-culture items. If it ends up in my “Popular Posts” box, we will know definitively that I am right.
[For some reason I have the Inspector Gadget theme song stuck in my head.]
This is the most pointless post…
Better watch out before your blog gets black-listed by Google for key-word spamming.
ReplyDeleteOh, you know me. I like to live on the edge.
ReplyDeleteHey! Some of us poor PC users find who have trackpads with a scrolling function find other uses for our pipe cleaner than scraping superglue off tree bark! Quit generalizing... :)
ReplyDeleteIs it working?!
