Momentum! Edison has made me #1!
Wednesday, Feb 6, 2008 5:13PM / Standard Entry / Members only
46 commentsi'm not talking about electoral momentum in the way that Obama or McCain seem to be building up a head of steam after a primary win...
i'm talking about the huge steamroller of page views I've gotten over here at the Etchy blog the past 6 days since this edison sex thing flared up and I decided to write that g00gle bait blog about it.. you know, this one:Edison Chen Sex Photos... (+ updates)
which was followed up by this one:Edison Chen Sex Photos Scandal - He breaks his silence:
The first one particularly has gotten a lot of attention from g00gle... which is a good thing. Hopefully some of the random passersby have stopped to look at what AnD is and decided to make a log in... (if you're reading this, help support our community of artists and fans by joining!)
I will admit that I did these blogs on purpose... since I saw a similar reaction of traffic during the whole Yumiko Cheng wardrobe malfunction a few months back. basically if you write a blog about a scandal like this relatively early, you can get a lot of traffic off of search engines. I wanted to try to capitalize on this phenomenon w/o going the low road of posting pictures or exploiting the victims by disclosing their identities, etc... I guess its a fine line, but I think i stayed on the right side...
But regardless, the rate of growth of my page view numbers has been stunning... since I blog so regularly, i've always had a good rate of page views, sometimes as many as a few hundred in one day, but amazingly enough this week its been more than thousand a day! (note on Jan 31st, 5 days ago, i mentioned I had just passed 68k, that was already a few days into the scandal...)
holy crap, since I started writing this 10 minutes ago (i type slow), 60 more people have viewed my blog... crazy!) as of 3am HK time, i'm at ~73,970 :-P
at this rate patrick is going to lose his #1 spot in a few days, this sex-scandal can't be stopped, even if they did arrest them all! :-P
update (5pm - 2/6/08): ok, looks like it took less than a few days, as of a few minutes go this is the new breakdown of most page views for AnD members:
The Empire Strike Back! ;-)
Joking aside, the amount of hits from Google have been quite impressive, over 3000 in the last 15 hours or so. :-o
Also I learned AnD got a lot of hits from the Apple Daily writing an article about Rosanne Wong's recent blog.... i'm happy they included a link at least...
