 Somehow, I believe that there are still doubts that sex does work when it comes to attracting traffic. Don’t get me wrong – I’m not the pioneer of this nor do I have huge success over the matter.
I have decided to increase my crummy unique hits over my website from 80/90-ish uniques per day to possibly 1,000 uniques by Christmas. My tactics –
1. Change my site’s title from ‘Michael Woo Business Ideas Tech Make Money Online Malaysian News Blog’
TO
‘Michael Woo Business News Make Money Online Malaysia Sex Blog’
I have decided to forgo the word ‘Tech’ because it has no significance when it comes to search engine traffic. I’m targeting ‘Malaysia Sex Blog’ traffic and hopefully Google will list my site as number 1 – there is no direct hit on the number 1 spot yet by other blogs.
2.Delete MichaelWoo.net from my current MyBlogLog account and create a new account with a nice sexy picture. If you don’t believe that I have got 3,000 page views, take a look at the screenshot below (I got more than 3,900 page views)
3. Disguise myself as a sexy vixen in forums, social media sites, etc…
Here are my thoughts on some pressing issues:
1. On credibility – Adam said that it might affect my credibility in the long run which I totally agree. But if this works and I get enormous traffic, I think that would be a higher priority
2. On blog ethics – There would be no ‘pornographic’ pictures on my blog, just sexy ones and comments are most welcome.
3. On creating a sustainable relationship with other blogs – I bet that this would be a hot topic to discuss as it’s general and it’s also basic knowledge.
Last but not least, I might fail miserably and here are some things that are at stake:
1. Credibility
2. Traffic
3. Reader’s loyalty
4. Friends or Foes
5. Heavy criticism
The bet is high and here are some comments on my previous post:
xBrain and Edward got huge success when they used a sexy picture as their MyBlogLog avatar. Wayne Liew sees this as a huge gold mine while Adam thinks that it will hurt your credibility in the long run. Preblogging on the other hand would like to ‘spice up’ her MyBlogLog profile.

My previous post on ‘Sex sells dont you think? Debunking the Myth of Using Sexuality to Gain Traffic’ shows that sex sells – it really increases web hits when you put a pretty or sexy picture on your social profile.
Intentionally I placed an incredibly sexy photo of a beautiful Japanese model and surprisingly, 51 people actually clicked on the photo! Look at the screen shot of my site’s page impression counter:
According to my web stats on SiteMeter, I had 184 unique hits on 7th and 8th November 2007. 51 people out of 184 actually clicked on the picture which is a staggering 27.71%! This means that 1 out of 3 people who visited this site actually clicked on that sexy photo!
Although this test is not 100% accurate, somehow it does show that sex does play its role in our community. On the other hand, this creates more questions on my head:
1. Would sex be more effective than social media marketing?
2. Is it TABOO to talk about sex?
3. How do you incorporate sex into blogging without offending the community?
On my previous post:
kljs, Jean and Anna agrees that sex sells and that people are more inclined to click on sexy pictures. Great Seducer on the other hand targets horny people while KimFei won't cheat on his site's visitors.

 I just had a flashback a while ago on a particular episode of ‘The Apprentice’ where a team of girls were going up against another team of guys. You should have guessed it – the gals did pretty well in the beginning of the show, beating the guys flat bringing shame to them – with a huge capital ‘L’ on their forehead.
But what made it interesting was that they did use sex as an advantage to help them win. For example,
1. They flirted with a guy selling gold – asking him to sell it at a lost
2. Wore sexy clothes during the opening of a restaurant to gain more customers
3. More flirtings to bend men’s will towards theirs…
You get the point?
Months back, I did use their strategy to help me gain traffic – my results? I gained an unusually high amount of traffic for that particular period. I placed a beautiful Asian girl as my portrait on MyBlogLog and oh my, people started adding me into their profile. I got over 3000 page views on my profile for that month which was generously diverted to my blogs (some still think that I’m a female money blogger).
If you are feeling pretty evil (like me) – try adding beautiful pictures of girls on MyBlogLog and see whether this is a myth or would it actually WORK?!
What are your thoughts?
Cheers!
PS – Would you click on her?
