10 Guaranteed Tips For Driving Less Traffic To Your Blog
- Stop posting for 10 whole days.
- Use a boring generic WordPress theme as a placemarker while you take too much time redesigning your site.
- Stop replying to comments.
- Use all the free time you have over two consecutive long weekends to become a better Texas Hold’em player, instead of keeping track of what’s happening in the blogosphere.
- Ignore Twitter completely.
- When you write, write rubbish.
- Mess around with code you don’t understand, and endeavour to screw up the back end of your site beyond all recognition.
- Submit your own post to Muti.
- Write only 9 tips when you promised 10.
Update:
LOL – this was, unbeknownst to me, the 666th post on my blog… bah!

It seems you have a similar start to the week as I do Mike. Tired, uninspired and drrripping with sarcasm.
[I did however spot the reverse psychology traffic generating strategy. Good move]

LOL Mike – it’s that time of year…
I can add a 10th: Don’t check now and then that your RSS feed is actually validating – do not pass go just move to the end of the queue / chart / list….then try and fix it and just bugger it up more….woteva

Hi Mike
How about for number #10:
10) Make up arbitrary lists of 10 things.
Although in your case it has had the opposite effect, you clever bastard
