Chick Avatars Bring Teh traffic

Ok so for october through today I did a little experiment. I noticed a lot of people join the forum with girl avatars or switch to them so I thought I would try. I see why people do it now.

My traffic to my blog (in the postbit header) from digitalpoint is up over 45% then any previous month.

I was getting about 2x 3-4 per day as many PMS that had legit questions but about the same spam.

so I nominate 2007 as the year of the chick avatar.

WHOS WITH ME?

 

Oh boy!

You should have never posted this!!! Now everybody will start switching to gurl avatars!!!

I never clicked on your blog cuz I knew you were not a chick (as if it's the only reason I would click on it ), but I can see why the certain fraction of members would. Those same people also watch Desperate Housewives regularly......

Anyways...that was a cool experiment. I may later change my avatar to some sexy female robot......

 

hahaha.. sound good

 

Im not saying what caused what... just posting the facts

 

i totally agree this fact, attractive pics of females get you good traffic, also you should be lucky for that matter.
if you try in orkut, good picture profiles are viewed the most.

jus will say in one line
pictures speak a thousand words

 

Gotta get myself a chick for my avatar, i guess it really works

 

And change your screenname to Jarodgirl...

 

don't sounds professional

 

Well i can simply give a explication : For exemple me is exicted by girls who do webmastering/freelancing etc and i think i'm not the only one

Olso nice experiment shoe i olso wander for exemple why did you put a girl in your avatar and not that celeb Shoemony logo

 

How is that not professional? %45 sounds significant enough to me

 

I haven't tracked it but yes, I would agree that it does work

 

Nice research...time for a change I think

 

It also apparently works for rep http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=154286&highlight=girl+avatar

Which must be why you have so much ay shoemoney

 

Interesting will give that a try marketing is marketing and it is necessary to follow trends that come and go

2007 as the year of the chick avatar
