KISS : Keep It Sexy, Stupid

Editors: This article has been edited numerous times.

Up until a couple of days ago the greatest number of reads scored by one of my Bleacher articles was 1,820. That was a piece on NASCAR, and I really think you should read it right now; you'll be so glad you did.

The lowest number of reads I've scored is 18, and my typical score is usually between 200-300.

For me, the whole point of writing is to be read. Does that make sense?

So I set out to write an article that would really rack up the numbers and get the counter spinning.

The Bleacher front page gave me the blueprint for a reader-magnet.

I had to produce a slide-show, and the subject matter had to be scantily-clad women. That conclusion will not surprise you, but it does puzzle me.

The Internet can be seen as an infinite universe of porn. Whatever your personal preferences, Google will swiftly find what you seek on your journey to the depths of depravity, no problem.

And as there is that readily available resource of heavy-duty porn, why should girlie photos be so popular on a sports site? Beats me buddy.

But I followed the recipe, and in no time at all, I had my new article ready. It wasn't quite what my title and photo suggested, but I only wanted to pull the readers in, not to give them visual Viagra.

I cannot remember the original name of article, because under the hand of various editors it has metamorphosed to the rather clumsy title Say Tease: Sexy Photos of Female Athletes in the Act.

The last time I looked, that article had pulled in 16,953 reads. Not a huge number by Bleacher standards, but vast to me.

Mission accomplished, but now I'm looking for bigger hits.

If you happen to be looking for me, I'll be scouring the Internet for some vaguely sports-related soft porn. That's what the public wants, and who am I to argue?
