Follow Google Trends and you’ll notice something interesting. The stuff people are Googling today is ripped from the headlines and enterprising bloggers are taking advantage of this by posting on the same subjects/keywords as they happen. The result? Instant, albeit short-lived, traffic.
As I continue to work on driving traffic to my various projects, sometimes I can’t help smiling when I see this crap. So much work for something that last for such a short amount of time. I’m wondering if any one out there can chime in and let me know if this has worked and, more important, is it sustainable? It would be an interesting experiment to try on a throw away domain for a week or two to see what happens. Load up the AdSense, read the news and Google Trends and post away (and profit?).
