Heh, last time I checked my website traffic stats I noticed a wierd traffic spike on 13h and 14th day. Not much, but few hundred visitors more than usually. First I checked what I had written and found out this post. I didn't write about this contradictive post (and well, I actually didn't - but some people might interpret the text the way they like...) to provoke people, I realised this after I wrote the first post, and you can rest assured I will write another one in the nearly future Anyway, I then tracked the source of traffic, which was from this post. Seems that the forum admin didn't like my ideas and quoted them on their own forums. Then others joined the conversions... and I got links & traffic - so naturally I had to go and thank them for noticing my post Lesson of the story: If you want to get traffic to your site, write a post about software piracy and you can rest assured it will be noticed. I write in very mild manner, but I bet some average-Rick-Ranter could write some more provokative thougths and really use this topic to drive traffic to your site.
Hey Mr Producer-That's very interesting. What a great outcome-it's excellent to be able to get a legitimate plus point out of piracy, even it was accidental lol
Heh, yeh. Today I wrote another post titled 3 Reasons For Software Piracy. I won't be poking the bees anymore (i.e. writing any more piracy posts in the nearly future) ... but I couldn't resist to see what happens this time
Controversy is a great way to generate traffic. There's nothing people love more than a good argument.
