Top 10 Celebrities Today
Yesterday’s post using the word “sex” sprinkled throughout did give some small results. My usual number of hits on my blogs of anywhere from 10 to 24 went up to 38, I certainly don’t see this as a success. After all, I did have 45 hits on a regular political article not too long ago. It astonished me at the time and I still can not replicate the results although I have tried to do so using the same subject matter.
A really odd thing is that I got 38 “unique visits” and 209 “total visits.” I don’t understand why I got so many total visits. I suppose it doesn’t matter as I only get paid for the “unique visits.” However, I would have felt very successful if I’d gotten the 209 hits as “unique visits.”
So, I suppose even though I suspect the top search word list I acquired is a bit dated, sex and words such as that will always be in the top Google searches. So, today let’s try the names of top celebrities. After I Googled to find out who the were, I looked up latest news on them. Now, I’ll attempt to do a story on several of them each day and see who gets the most “unique hits.”
After doing a few celebrity stories, I’ll post a summing up article to let you know if I was able to acquire more hits with celebrity stories than straight news stories which is what I’ve been writing for the last month. So, I’ll be posting two articles today in Today.com as I don’t think this one will bring many hits on it’s own.
The top celebrities are listed as: Brad Pitt, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey, George Clooney, Lindsey Lohan, Cameron Diaz, Angelina Jolie, Fergie, and others. Paris Hilton is nowhere to be found. Although she does have a new show on about picking her next best friend.
From here I’m heading to “Entertainment Weekly” where I’ll start my research as I’ve read they are a reliable, up-to-date source.
