I wrote an article not too long ago about changing my avatar to that green thing to see if it drew attention. I promise it does. Standing out from the crowd always helps. Content keeps them there but you need other things to get them to see your content. I like pretty girls as much or more than the average guy but most of the avatars are not really the blogger or they took the best picture ever shot of them to represent them. Jane is a perfect example. She by no means is ugly but not quite the 18 years old cutie suggested in the photo. Her content is great though.

I have a great dislike for the guys who use female avatars to drive traffic to their sites. A dislike that’s almost as great as for the guys who use female avatars and then get upset when I still ignore their site. A dislike that is almost as deep as that which I have for the spam that they then send directing me to a post on their site in which they blah blah blah about their choice of avatars.

I’m a cranky feller. I make sure my avatar clearly signals that attitude. The guys who use female avatars are either sexually confused or too cynical for my tastes.

And that robotic blinking fingerpointing thing ilke uses now pisses me off. I detest people who put blinky flashlights in my face.

Congrats ilker!!! I would agree with you, having a picture like this doesn’t really attract as much traffic as people think. I’ve appreciated your interactions on MBL. Keep it up as I’ll keep checking your site out

This is very true! I would completely agree with you Dan in that the pictures are small apples compared to the content and how effective the blog is.

p.s. I like your photo a lot…very genuine.

You’re right, Ilker, it is a real picture.

And you’re an absolutely excellent blogger. You’ve got great content that’ll keep me coming back daily.

I’ve added you to Google Reader!

I found your post about a black Google yesterday very intriguing.

And I can’t wait to see the results of what we e-chatted about…

Congrats and much love,
Paula
