Sheesh - It is all about sex

So there's the what's hot right now section in 49Media. What's up there all the time? SEX. SEX. SEX. Sheesh. Now it's not like that's what is coming through the spider... people are searching A LOT for music videos and movie stars and all that stuff - check out the list of top searches:

BLACK EYED PEAS-HUMP | PARIS HILTON | ADVENT CHILDREN | CLIVE OWEN | NICOLE | MUSIC VIDEOS | WWW.VIDEOCODE4U.COM | MUSIC CODE | ESPECIALLY FOR YOU-MYMP VIDEO | ADULT | CANON | THE KILLERS | EMINEM | ESPECIALLY FOR YOU-MYMPMUSIC VIDEO | GREEN DAY | BLACK EYED PEAS | MARIAH CAREY | GIRL | FABIAN BASABE | NARUTO

So what does that mean? Especially if most of the searches don't really bring up that much sex/nakedness? Well - if people see a post that says 'sex' or 'nip slip' or they see a breast or whatever - well, they're going to click on it.

Now is this bad? Well is what big media has been doing for decades bad? Using sex to make (tons) of money? Can grass roots/little media use this model? Heck yeah! Why not use a little bit of sex/flesh etc to pull people in and then expose them to smarter stuff? Why not? So now the problem is: What's a little bit? How much is too much? How little is not enough?

Thanks Holland - you've exposed me to some smart stuff!

Remember this #2

Sorry about using this blog to remember important stuff I've read - but what the heck, I can do whatever I want here, right?

Anyway:

Anytime you feel tempted to add a new feature or advanced technology to your site, first consider whether you would get a higher ROI by spending the resources on polishing the quality of what you already have.
