I was discussing with a dear friend of mine a while back about the factors that will make your blog really popular. The factors that we could come up with were:
- You are a celebrity (of some sort. If you're not, then maybe you do know some celebs.)
- You've got a pretty or handsome face (or probably even good-looking friends)
- You include sex in your entries (or even sexy, nude pictures or best of all, porn. Your blog will definitely create a "virtual traffic congestion")
- You overflow your posts with discriminations of any kind etc, etc, etc.
My answer is probably all of the above. The reason why this topic came up was because I was just wondering what actually made so many blogs so popular. When I started blogging in 2003, I wanted my blog to be as popular. But now that I think of it again, I truly believe that it was a crazy thought. I mean, why should I even cares if my blog has thousands of people flocking to read it everyday? It's not like I will get paid for it, right?
Gosh, it's amazing, ain't it? I was so naive and gullible back then. I wanted to do and be excellent at what everyone else thought was cool. Shesh! But those were days that just makes me laugh whenever I reflect on it. The things I said, the people I met, the extent I would go to just to get something I cannot afford but which my friends had, etc. Sighs. Life...
