…until I saw a referral from there tonight…and, it’s probably a terrible sign that I haven’t seen any referrals from there for so long…but, Google Trends is very cool if you’re rocking a blog that covers any sort of current events such as sports, news, celebrity, politics, etc.

Instantly tap into what tons of people are searching for and just start writing like crazy. There was a time when I used to do that every day…and, then I sort of stopped. Why? I don’t know.

There were days where I’d pop a hot query and get 10,000+ visitors in a ten hour period. And, the traffic would last for three or four days and then the news would be old and the traffic would taper off. But, for whatever reason, it got harder for me to do that with newer sites that didn’t have an abundance of inbound links.

Just for fun, here’s the top 50 right now on Sept. 4, 2008. It should be interesting to look back at this ten or twenty years from now…(or even next month) : ) ……..
