Readers often say to me, “Bob, your blog is so freaking lame, how the hell do you get folks to click on it?”
The answer, of course, is headlines.
I shouldn’t be giving away trade secrets, but journalists know that a funny, clever, or downright misleading headline can often trick people into reading something, no matter how bad it is.
With that in mind, I’ve gone through all of this blog’s headlines for 2009.
Here are the top ten that made you look and earned me a lot more page views than I deserved. Oh, and they were fun to write, too.
10. Palin leaves office with relish?
9. Stand up, Mr. Spector. Oh, sorry!
7. Federal zombies; undead, but not unemployed
4. Space: the final novelty shop?
3. Lookin’ for my Luger, Sugar?
2. Who’s the Jurk with the accordion?
1. It’s a festering skankfest of zombies, Clancy!

All the women at the oktoberfest have huge…mugs
Sure Bob, it was the headlines that did it. Nothing to do with the pixels of secondary sexual characteristics. Nope, it’s all the written word o’er here.
Isnt Sarah Palin handing out sausages supposed to be an American joke???
