Blogpulse has been intriguing me lately. While I write here mostly for my own enjoyment, it’s nice to know that other people are reading what I have to say.
I am not sure what criteria are being used by the technology that drives the Blogpulse site, but it was very interesting to note that I somehow became the top result on January 21st of the year for writing about a dead girl named Megan Leann Holden. You may recall that Megan was murdered and dumped on the side of the road. The suspect, a former Marine (as I am), was also mentioned in my blog post.
I’m still trying to figure out why my using the full name of the victim, Megan Leann Holden made me the top result at Blogpulse and drew a great deal of extra traffic to my site, while my repeated use of Eason Jordan’s name in the blog drew almost no extra traffic.
I’m not sure how my use of the names differed, but I’d love to hear from savvy bloggers on the topic.
