You know a lot of people boost traffic to their sites by posting random photographs of unclothed women. My question is why? I've considered it, but the people who come for the nudity don't stay or visit more than once. I suppose you'd attract attention from search engines too; but again, it strikes me as cheating.
One thing I learned from another blogger (I forget which or I'd link him) is that adding more links attracts traffic - legitimate traffic. A node in a network is only as valuable as what can be reached from it, so the more connected a node is the better. Google exploits this principle by ranking sites based on its connections to other sites. Google rewards linking. Sites that are dead ends, that don't link you anywhere, don't get many hits. Unless, of course, they have some other value, like lots of pictures of undressed women.
I wanted to stay PG-13 so I added more links.
