Being that I have the same first name as her, back when she shaved her head and everyone was googling her, I got tons of hits. Then as the publicity about it died down, so did my hits.

I answered the question in the form of a blog post which will probably end up as a trackback link here. All in all, I got the most traffic to my blog via a method in which I didn't do intending to get traffic. I think it will be an eye opener for those that use wordpress.

The next morning I found my submission in my RSS reader (I'm only subscribed to the front page feed)! So with some checking of my Wordpress Stats I'd seen that my blog had received more then ten times the usual amount of traffic (<a href="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b160/tenkabuto/out-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">Screenshot</a>)!

Jason Castro sang "I Shot the Sheriff" on <b>American Idol</b> and many of Castrocopia's readers who were looking for an interpretation of Bob's lyrics followed the link to my site. I had an increase of more than 500% of site visits. All I can say is give thanks to Jason Castro for singing "I Shot the Sheriff"and to Castrocopia for linking to my blog. Maybe if I'm lucky, more American Idol singers will choose some other songs from Bob's repertoire, and I'll have even more visitors to the site. Now, if I can only find a way so that they'll come back when I publish my latest novel, Virtual Yardies.
