Miss Nevada Katie Rees: Spinning the Hit Counter

Katie Rees kissing a girl

When I first posted the story of Katie Rees — the Miss Nevada USA contestant who was dethroned for nude and racy pictures that she posed for before she was Miss Nevada — I introduced the story with the following sentence:

Yeah, that headline should be good for a Google hit or two…

I had no idea that a “hit or two” would turn into thousands-upon-thousands of hits. Before writing about Ms. Rees, I was chugging along with my 1000 or so daily visitors to UrbanGrounds. Look at the graph below, taken from my SiteMeter hit counter this evening:

That “little” spike in traffic? Almost nothing but people googling for “Katie Rees nude pics” or somesuch search string. Perverts.

Same thing happened to me. I went from a lousy 100/day to no less than 900/day this week. All week. Even today.

This blogger boosted his traffic to 15,000 hits by posting on the whole Miss Nevada Katie Rees story about the trashy photos etc. I think it’s crazy how the modern blogosphere works these days. As a little experiment, let’s check how much this post increases blog traffic here. Posted: December 30th, 2006 under

I see Katie is still reeling them in. Maybe, in a month, you can do a “Katie Retrospective”. lol!
