So That's How They Do It

There are two things you can do to boost user traffic to your blog:

  1. Make a controversial comment. Say, something like (paraphrased): "Handicapped toilets shouldn't be for the disabled only. Having a physical disability is their disadvantage, but their bladders are still working, right? They should queue up for the toilet just like everyone else then." Guaranteed to generate lots of comments and discussion on the other blogs and forums, thereby boosting the site statistics.
  2. If it's not in your character to be tactless or rude or crass, do as I do. Write about the offending article, or link to it. Better if someone will actually link to your post. One way or another, some of the user traffic will come your way. Just a day after writing about Miss Cheng, my daily hits trebled.
My site statistics has since dropped down to normal, which explains this post. :-)
