Testing The Waters
What motivates the traffic to a site? A friend of mine just wrote a blog post and some twitter entries that seemed, on the surface of things, to have increased his traffic suddenly. Does it work that way? Can the simple mention of the bible, pornography, and a porn star in the same article really bump traffic that noticeably? Especially when those subjects are not the normal thrust of your blog?
Jason Bradford, also known as ToneBox, wrote a post about a new movie called “Undersold“. Chrissy Moran stars in the film. She is a former porn star… and a famous and attractive one to boot. Jason says of his friend, “Chrissy’s story has some parallels to the original Bible story and she lives the part daily. That is where Grace comes in. Thankfully Grace is available to all of us no matter the road we’ve been down or are heading.”
So, this article serves a two fold purpose. The first is to get the word out about this movie and one of the great people in it. I think Chrissy Moran’s tale of moving from pornography to religious media is an interesting and compelling one. The second purpose is to try and prove or disprove Jason’s theory that his traffic spiked just because he mentioned the Bible and porno in the same post.
What do you think? Was that the reason his traffic jumped? Or was it a coincidence?

I’m going to go ahead a give credit to the twitter post. Since twitter feeds my facebook account it looks like 90% of the visitor referring source was twitter or facebook…
As far as natural search engine visits… we’ll see where that comes in soon.
Thanks!

@Jason – I want to know your overall results for the day!
Mike,
Besides “bible,” “pornography,” and “porn star,” you also managed to get in the words “thrust” and “tale” (in all the excitement, someone might be a poor speller.)
Maybe your post will do better than Jason’s. Keep us informed.

@Snow – That’s funny! I caught the “thrust” one, but I didn’t think of “tale”. Too funny.
And I did figure out, I think, that your eye picture isn’t you. But I still can’t find anything about it on your site! I have been going through everything bit by bit…
[...] Testing The Waters is a thought-provoking entry. Read it and tell the blogger what you think about the subject. I’ll also leave a link to Making The Break, because I somehow relate to the situation described on it. [...]
