My Saipan blog buddy, Angelo Villagomez, has discovered one of the secrets to generating visits to his blog. Angelo posted a picture and a few words about Katie Rees (ousted beauty pageant winner; Miss Nevada) on his blog. As a result, his blog shows up in internet searches for the infamous beauty queen. This tactic results in more visitors to a site, and consequently more potential customers for whatever one might be selling, or perhaps more clicks on one's Adsense pay-per-click links.

According to Angelo:

"I got 508 hits to the Saipan Blog in the last hour. I'm the #1 search result for "Katie Rees" on MSN. Thanks, MSN! Thanks, Katie Rees! That girl is Blog Gold!"

Now that tactic may be great for general interest, Saipan-specific, fun and politics, personal blogs like Angelo's, but unfortunately, serious business owners like myself would never resort to such obvious ploys. Katie Rees? Katie Rees? I think not.

So all of those people who are searching on Google News, for example, who discover the following stories...
