LESS IS MORE


After another month of not doing any blog posts I'm back and ready to let rip. Just like when I did no posts back in May, I'm again amazed at how little difference it seems to make whether I actually do any new posts or not.

How to choose images for your blog that could bore the legs off a donkey...

Basically my little blog gets roughly the same amount of hits if I add any new posts or not. I last did a post on July 6 and then none for the rest of the month, but the traffic pretty much went on unchanged until July 29 before showing any real signs of decline, so if I only did one post every three weeks I'd probably get about the same amount of hits.


Some pages & posts do get more hits than others. Often these more popular posts are just quickies with bugger all content, and I have no idea why they attract any traffic. For example why on earth is this post so popular? Is it because it because it includes the words "huge penis"?



Which leads me to wonder, WOULD MORE BE LESS? So as an experiment, for August I plan to do shitloads of posts. It probably isn't feasible, but I had the idea it would be an interesting experiment to do 100 posts. I'm not really likely to do that many but I do plan to throw out stacks of new posts, more than one each day, whatever pops into my head. Short posts, copy & paste posts, memes, anything goes. It may turn out to be a complete load of slop, but as well as seeing if it affects the hit count I'm also curious to see if I enjoy doing that much blogging.
 

Or would trying to do masses of posts soon become lame and gay?
