A Spike in Popularity
I'd like to say I don't care how much traffic comes through BNL, but I’d be lying. So I put in a daily tracker to count visits and today the traffic spiked up by about 300-400%. I don’t expect this newfound popularity to last however. I did a vanity search on Google.com to see if Bare Naked Larry had acquired some higher profile listing. There was only one new listing, a very curious one of www.snapsearch.com/keywords/bare-naked.aspx. I clicked on this link, but NO Bare Naked Larry showed. I clicked on the Google.com cache copy however and low and behold Bare Naked Larry was on the right side of the page under Sponsored Links. It seems incredible, but perhaps some ad agency put Bare Naked Larry’s link in place of Bare Naked Ladies by accident for a short time. On the other hand if this were the explanation I might have expected thousands of hits. How ever it happened, I'm pretty sure the spike up in webpage hits has something to do with being listed as a sponsored link, if nowhere else at least on snapsearch.com. We'll just have to wait and see if my numbers stay high or if anomolous sponsored link listings pop up anywhere else.
My apologies to anyone that has come here in search of a certain modern rock band or --more likely-- pictures of people without clothes on. I'm not saying for sure I would take my clothes off for enough web hits, but if it would keep my traffic numbers up…
