Ways to drive traffic
I’m trying to come up with some ways to drive traffic to my blog. Not really for any reason, other than normal narcissistic ones. Here are some ideas I have:
· Think up some gimmick
o Live 100 days without showering (might be problematic)
o Cook 100 different recipes from a much-loved cookbook (been done to death by others)
o Take funny pictures or videos of my cats (been done to undeath by others)
o Grab some fad at random and write about how wonderful it is (using Google Trends to target my audience)
· Post short fiction that captures the hearts of millions, as they identify with my protagonist
· Write scathing details of my work life
· Write scathing details of my private life
· Come up with long, barely coherent rants about random topics (Hmmm.. already doing this one)
· Post racy photos of attractive females (my wife might have a problem with that; she’s the only attractive female I have access to)
· Make lots of lists about:
o Books
o Movies
o Music
o Lists
o Ways to drive up traffic
· Plead with people to read my blog (bribery only works if you have something to bribe WITH)
· Write detailed technical content
I’m open to suggestions if anyone has anything more to add!

My latest hair brained idea - Make fun of insurance adds, try it, write about, and then post it places. I was thinking of making of them like this. If I can save a bunch of money by switching to geico I will switch to geico, then I can save a bunch more by switching to progressive, then I can save more by switching to allstate... ETC. eventually an insurance company will pay me 500$ a year to insure my cars.
