Momentum! Edison has made me #1!

i'm not talking about electoral momentum in the way that Obama or McCain seem to be building up a head of steam after a primary win...

i'm talking about the huge steamroller of page views I've gotten over here at the Etchy blog the past 6 days since this edison sex thing flared up and I decided to write that g00gle bait blog about it.. you know, this one:
Edison Chen Sex Photos... (+ updates)
which was followed up by this one:
Edison Chen Sex Photos Scandal - He breaks his silence:
The first one particularly has gotten a lot of attention from g00gle... which is a good thing. Hopefully some of the random passersby have stopped to look at what AnD is and decided to make a log in...   (if you're reading this, help support our community of artists and fans by joining!)

I will admit that I did these blogs on purpose... since I saw a similar reaction of traffic during the whole Yumiko Cheng wardrobe malfunction a few months back. basically if you write a blog about a scandal like this relatively early, you can get a lot of traffic off of search engines. I wanted to try to capitalize on this phenomenon w/o going the low road of posting pictures or exploiting the victims by disclosing their identities, etc...   I guess its a fine line, but I think i stayed on the right side...

But regardless, the rate of growth of my page view numbers has been stunning...   since I blog so regularly, i've always had a good rate of page views, sometimes as many as a few hundred in one day, but amazingly enough this week its been more than thousand a day! (note on Jan 31st, 5 days ago, i mentioned I had just passed 68k, that was already a few days into the scandal...)

holy crap, since I started writing this 10 minutes ago (i type slow), 60 more people have viewed my blog... crazy!) as of 3am HK time, i'm at ~73,970 :-P

at this rate patrick is going to lose his #1 spot in a few days, this sex-scandal can't be stopped, even if they did arrest them all! :-P

update (5pm - 2/6/08): ok, looks like it took less than a few days, as of a few minutes go this is the new breakdown of most page views for AnD members:

The Empire Strike Back! ;-)

Joking aside, the amount of hits from Google have been quite impressive, over 3000 in the last 15 hours or so. :-o

Also I learned AnD got a lot of hits from the Apple Daily writing an article about Rosanne Wong's recent blog.... i'm happy they included a link at least...

Congrats mate! I read one of your more recent blogs before this (the one where you mention 200+ photos are now circulating via email) and decided I do not want to see anymore of the photos.

Have you noticed that Patrick isn't even visiting your page anymore? I think he doesn't want to make your total views number go up any higher....what an egomaniac! haha!

bleupluie: despite all my event attendance, i have never seen any of those female stars in real life, but i actually have been to a few events with edison. but i don't think he'll appreciate the value in my using his 'buzz' in this manner. :-P

(if he is reading this, edison, i hope you're not upset, its for a good cause!)

joanne: it looks like its helping a bit w/ the reg #'s, yes. more foot traffic always helps, especially when you're 'selling' something good...

whoa!,awesome hits. The main thing is, that hopefully some of the visitors have decided to join, even if it will be just for future scandals, it's still a start :P.
Nice one Etchy
