It is so interesting what piques people’s interest.
Sex sells. (Yes, it does.) But, so does confusion, apparently.
Since I launched this blog nine months ago, I am continuously surprised at what draws people to actually “click” and read. For instance, How to Marry a Man after 40, didn’t do so well. (I thought it’d be a best seller.) And, I kinda knew that blog post, Slow Sex. And, Turn Off Your Cell, would rock the house. But, never in a million years did I think the number one blog post on Late Bloomer Bride would be this: Too Good To Leave, Too Bad To Stay. I mean, I knew ambivalence was alive and well, but, wow. More than 500 visits?
So, I checked and re-checked stats. Naturally, the home page gets all the love first. But, then, it’s a mystery as to why these following posts are the top ten — at least in statistics land. The best-selling Late Bloomer Bride blog postings are as follows:
• Book: Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay
• About the Author (They think, is she licensed to write like this? I am not.)
• Just When You Think Romance Has Left The Building (It’s a mystery.)
• About this Blog (At this point, they are thinking, what the heck is this?)
• Articles (I found some good ones.)
• Wonder If You Could Get Married Over Age 40 (Which leads me back to my earlier question about why only 18 people read How to Marry a Man after 40 – and I tweeted it twice!)
• Slow Sex. And, Turn Off Your Cell. (Enough said.)
• Cougar Versus Sophisticat. Your vote? (I dunno…)
• Forever Young? Not Me. (Well, it is about plastic surgery, after all.)
• Of Commitment and Hot Pink Beach Chairs (I can explain this one. It was after I was featured on Blog of the Week on WCAV-TV. The power of TV.)
Any ideas, peeps? What causes you to click? What do you want to read about?
