Worthless Traffic
Filed under: How to measure impact
hat is “worthless traffic”?
Suppose you’re a girl and you upload bathing suit photos. I need to chose this gender for analogy’s sake (as will become apparent later).
Upload photos.
To Facebook.
To Instagram.
Whatever.
You get many “likes” for it.
So f—ing what?
Who cares?
Will you look back, in your deathbed, recalling how many “likes” you received for a photo that is not artistic?
“Momma would be so proud of these likes!”
If you wanted more “likes”, you could expose a nipple or two.
Does that make it a great accomplishment? No.
Because it’s already erotica.
Few people would conflates accomplishment with some people lusting based on indecency.
There are male versions of the same (but different metaphor needed).
In social control media, you see people who can get a lot of “likes” for calling people insulting stuff, for using foul language and riling up a mob.
What sort of accomplishment is that?
Worthless traffic is like the above “likes”.
If you want a lot of traffic, you can published mindless garbage for “the masses”.
Quantifying things in “likes” and “traffic” is a mirage.
Ask more about “quality” or “relevance”; that takes actual work.
