Use Images to Get More Traffic

Here's a quick and dirty tip:



Your blog is boring. No, the writing's great. It's visually boring. I wrote a few Cracked.com style articles with photos, and I'm already getting a lot of hits off of it. If you can use a few photos to illustrate your points, you will get more traffic, from Google Image Search.



I promise. Maybe not the traffic you want...

40th Anniversary of Atari Poem

2600



Atari! It means "I attack you!"

A battle cry from a game named Gomaku

I'm coming to hack you

That's why I'm called Vorhees

Friday the 13th

You'll be down on your knees

My active vision means a demon attack

The man from Atlantis

And you know I ain't goin' back

Constant adventure

From my megalomania

Perpetual combat

Straight to Terebithia

Like General Grevous

I'm devious like Xevious

Bonghits and pong

My controllers are the greasiest

I'm riding the joyboard

Spinning potentiometers

Worshipping the woodgrain

I am the VG chronicler

Now the switches I flip

Means I'm changing banks

From 2k to 4k, ascending the high score ranks

Commanding the missiles full stop like a psy-op

Secret messages, I stay hidden like Rob Fulop

26, 52, and 7800

The 4 and the 8 and even the Falcon



2600 - the tone

You know I give megahertz

Phone phreakin', I'm tweakin

Rhyming in bursts and spurts

I pack a punch like your mom packs a bag lunch

Blowing the whistle

Communicating with Captain Crunch

Like Whifield Diffie, never iffy on the flow

Or Rawston Stovall

You gotta write what you know

Information exchange

But wait for the handshake

Logic trees

And so many branches to take

2400 - the baud rate

But don't laugh at my speed

Rappers I crush - centipede or millipede

A snowcrasher, in this cryptonomicon

A relic iconic

Mainstay like Comicon

Object-oriented

By my functions are private

In a virtual prison

For all the warez that I pirate

Turning tables - go look up

I'm trigonometric

I am the cursor recursive

My Kool-aid be electric

I mix case in white space as bugs get erased

You can't decrypt my source?

Shouldn't have tried in the first place...



2600 - I'm goin back to the future

Mind, body & soul stuck together like sutures

I also kick it in B.C., smuggling the new tek

Getting netcopped, for all the timelines I wreck

I beg, steal and borrow the past through tomorrow

Robbing emotions

The harvester of sorrow

Time bandit, I planned

In the course of my travels

I spin tales and weave sails

From the threads that I unravel

No lie, I'm McFly, I Fargo like H.G. Wells

Unstuck in time, Slaughterhouse Five

This is the bard's tale

Yankee clipper from hell

I'm Jack Tripper

Chronometers spin

In my hunt for the ripper

Future historian

With time enough for love

The powermonger

I game with hawk and dove

Archon 3D

I am the light and the dark

Cosmic commuter

Beamriding the spark

In this videodrome

My BFG's the looker

I'm outta here

Time for some caveman hookers

Quantum Love

A trillion miles is nothing to a player

The dragon

Pussy wagon slayer

We endure, persistent

The changes consistent

Throughout existence

Against useless resistence

Beauty

If you, Johnnie, are my mirror

I am a pretty motherfucker

Staring at you, I am entranced

Enthralled

Enchanted

But perhaps I am your mirror

Crack'd

Two mirrors

Reflecting infinity



11-22-11

Treasure

Glittering Loc-Nar

Valkyrie warrior

Jewel of the Nile

A fable, to many

True love

Your are worth fighting for

And foolish to fight against

Love is Confusion

If I love you so much

Why can't I let you go?

Go back to your parents

Your children

Your sisters

There's no virtue

In selfishnes

No matter what Ayn Rand said

It is my punishment in life

(don't talk to me about life)

To be a destroyer

I create worlds

But the one I reside in

Is too lonely

Without you

I'd give a limb

Preferably someone else's

To make you happy

And save

The only person

Who makes me feel the same

I guess I hate me, too

A game without rules?

Fail

Never Falls

You are my paradise

Eden

And I'm in rapture

You make grown men grovel

Cities crumble at your feet

Children grow to meet you

Flowers die

For the privilege of being yours

My moon goddess

Keeper of secrets

Pandora

I can't wait to open your box

High Dive

My bird of paradise

Little wing

Meet me at the waterfall

In outer space

Hold me forever

As we fall

Together

Doomsday Device

Superlove supremacy uber alles

Weaveworld potentialities

Riding the shockwave

Of eternal devastation

With an unfair advantage

Evil genius reveals his scheme

My secret weapon

Is you

National Pastime

For today's ring

I give you a baseball diamond

My pitch?

Fastball

Free agent in a ballcap and bobby sox

Batgirl and general manager

Three strikes to my heart

...I punt
