Do Gimmicks Help Increase Page Views?

We have all heard of the microbloggers and bloggers who have gotten big attention by using gimmicks and giveaways. Do those gimmicks really help increase page views? If so, do they help with long term viewership?

Those are the big questions. So let’s give it a test. This October, along with my regular blog content, I plan to include a gimmick. Gimmicks include giveaways, hidden money, contests, celebrity posts, etc. Each week, I plan to post at least two posts. The first post will announce which gimmick I would like to try, and the second post will include where, what, when or how you can participate.


What is in it for me, you ask? The answer is simple. You get a chance to receive cash, prizes, knowledge and hopefully have some fun. What’s in it for me? I get to test a hypothesis, obtain some new insight, introduce my blog to a broader audience, and hopefully have some fun.       

So let’s get started. What gimmicks have you tried? Or, what gimmicks do you think I should try first?

  1. I'm not really in to that sort of thing. I will try to participate for the sake of us all learning though. ��

  2. I'm excited to see the findings. However, for those not interested in the gimmick test I will still be posting my normal blog posts offering tips, commentary and advice.
