Karen, recently, has been posting about how her love life is going nowhere. The string of rejections has been stretching on since February or even earlier. She's tried speed dating, but nobody indicated they were interested. She responded to a guy on the radio, but he eventually ditched her for someone else. And she's even walked her dog to meet men, but saying hi and talking about dogs is as far as it goes. It looks like, unless we provide some "expert" assistance here, Karen might meet someone when she turns 70, and even then the odds won't be good.
Therefore, I suggest that we take matters into our own hands and hook Karen up ourselves. I'm going to create a new category, "Karen's Endless Search," where we can post all about Karen and her myriad faults. Hopefully, a guy will be lovestruck by Karen's warm personality and caring heart, and will decide to arrange a date with her. Everyone wins: I'll have something to write about once again, the blog will get more page impressions, and we can talk about how women attract men (most of the discussion here seems to be the other way around). But I think the end goal is much more important: Karen will actually be able to enter a relationship that lasts longer than five minutes.
Why might this be successful? Let's do the math. The blog is currently receiving 8,417 hits per day on average, so if we remove the people who steal our bandwidth by linking to our images from other sites, we've got about 5,000 hits. Search engines comprise another 1,000 or so (4000), and each page probably requires 5 hits to load (800). Even if a person reads three different articles per day (and the article pages will generate fewer hits than the front page), we still have 266 people, and therefore 133 or so great men who come by this site every day. Probably 25-50 of those men are stopping by for the first time, and some of them will live near or be willing to travel to Toronto.
And with some 30,000 ad banner impressions saved up from BlogExplosion, I can create a nice ad banner to send people right to our articles about how great a date Karen would be. That's not counting the 2,500 hits to the Shoemaker Village site every day that can be capitalized upon with a large link I can put on the left sidebar. She'll be swamped with invitations!
(Hopefully.)
There's only one thing missing here: we need more information about the prize! A good place to start would be Karen posting a picture of herself. I've posted several of me in the past, and Issac has made it known who he is, so nobody's going to stalk you based on your picture. Ante up, Karen!
Let's see how effective Internet marketing can be. Eek, perhaps you'd be willing to help in some regard by sharing your expertise on how women attract men? And Adam always seems to be around to lend a hand. My guess is that if we can convince Karen to post a professional-looking photograph and a well-written profile, we'll be halfway there.
I'll get you for this!!!
