Most of my blog posts don’t get many hits. It’s not that surprising; I don’t really spend much time being thorough with the information I write about because I don’t have as much time as I’d like to write a post. I do try to be original, so I’m not repeating the same stuff everyone else is writing, but I just don’t explain every little thing and tend to glance over big topics. Well, I’m pretty bogged down with other things to do for work, so I’ve been keeping an eye out for pointers. Something light, fast, interesting; something to get me more hits than usual. What better place to look than a search engine for clues? So I was doing some work and snagged a snapshot of Yahoo’s home page from the olympics:

whaaa . . . Gangsta synchronized swimmers!!! DO elephants hold grudges . . . even long term grudges!?! OF COURSE I WANT TO SEE WORST DRESSED CELEBRITIES!!!!!!!!

Well there you go, it doesn’t get anymore compelling than that. It’s a slam dunk for Yahoo. So here I am, Steve L, your average Joe Blogger, how can I put to work the methodology of Yahoo! to generate traffic for my own blog post?

Well, I feel like I’m on the shoulders of giants now, and for this post, I’d like to share with you a very special, very secret Google document I found. Tucked away in Google’s “Webmaster Guidelines” section, there’s an article explaining how webmasters can get a number 1 page ranking on Google. Not only that, Google leaked a document detailing the formula behind the search engine.

And if that’s not enough, you can see former Google spokesperson, Vanessa Fox, nude.

And, finally, here’s a picture of me, worst hair in the internet marketing industry, probably the worst dressed as well, but it’s hard to tell from the photo:
