If I wanted to have lots of traffic…

…I would make a LOLCats Porn site.

“Huh?”

Well, last night I was talking with Automattic’s CEO, Toni Schneider (Automattic is the fine folks who make Wordpress and host my blog). He told me that ICanHasCheeseburger is now the #1 Wordpress.com site and is seeing traffic of more than 500,000 visitors per day. About 1/3rd of all files that Wordpress.com’s servers are serving up are due to this one site alone (which is pretty incredible because Wordpress.com is almost at a million blogs now).

But, I’m not that smart and I don’t have cute cats to take photos of. Makes me almost wish for flying dogs! Heheh.

  • And most of those photos are illegally posted by the site owners, since they didn't get the owner's/photographer's permission to use the pics. We'll see where that goes over time ...
  • The other option is to embrace our new cat overlords.

  • Hey cute animals, but possibly the most horrendous popular display of crappy English I've ever seen: read the "quick site news from..." on the right-hand side
  • .. and I thoughts WP didn't allow ads on blogs.
  • @colin: icanhascheeseburger is a VIP site with ads allowed.

    Steal pictures, repost them, avoiding the hard parts, like actual writing (or anything faintly passing for sentence structures) -- works for Porn, Cat pictures, Beth Goza and Perez Hilton. Lowest common denominator does have a mass, people do like raw visual entertainment. Free market at work...
  • Does anyone get that the site is just plain funny??? Come ON people!

    "Ripped from South Park Season 8 Episode: Quest"

    The creators of Southpark let everbody in on this little secret 2 years ago in season 8. Thanks anyway Scoble.
  • If I wanted to have lots of traffic I could have written about Vista and what a bunch of assh*les the Windows Marketing Team are. You know... for about a week, not seeing Scobleizer at the top or near the top of the Top Whatever's List felt a little... lets say "liberating". But now I recognize that things could have been, and now are, a whole lot worse.
  • Some of us are waaaaay ahead of you. May I present:

    LOLGOTHS.
  • dc
    Cats are too hairy for porn.
  • I have no idea what they are saying on the blog but its adorable. Anytime i need my dose of "too cute I wanna puke" I go there. Man..if only I could get 50 people to come to my blog.
  • Oh, those damn lolcats...they make me laugh, but then I just feel dirty about it.
  • Guess what, it exists. A lolcats porn site.. except it's porn pics. My favorite is "I has flavor" and "I has balls"
    ;)
