Morning! Today is Day 3 of my admittedly tongue-in-cheek tutorial on (drumroll please!)
How to make money with your blog!
And for today’s suggestion, I’d like to direct you to:
Option 4!) Add scantily clad he-wenches (and wenches, too, I suppose) to your blog!
NOTE!! Back in Band Camp (this was long ago when Bob Backland RULED professional wrestling, mind you), the term "wench" and "he-wench" was used quite regularly to refer to men/women alike. It’s NOT used here in a derogatory sense!!
But I digress. 
I still can’t get over the brou-haha that Copyblogger’s How to Be Interesting generated, including such gems like:
Half-naked women? Sure, it works. But do you endorse things just because they work? If so, I can list a whole bunch of slimy things you might consider for your list.
Personally, I think he got it all wrong – pictures of coffee cups with premium blends are far more attractive to the majority of Twitter users.
But let’s take a deeper look at this, shall we? Moseying on over to ShoeMoney’s blog, I see starting at me a wondrous display of Advanced Calculus magnificence that causes me to immediately shriek, where’s my credit card!
Oops, wrong Shoe.
On the site, you’ll see:
Coincidence? I think not! ‘course, if scantily-clad he-wenches and wenches alike don’t float one’s boat, adorning them with big huge boffo checks really adds the immediate appeal.
Let’s move now over to John Chow’s blog. There you’ll see:
The plot thickens! Here, you’ll see the creative use of Full Automobile Envy Wear! One thing about both John and Shoe…they wouldn’t put up images on their blogs if THEY DIDN’T WORK!!
Right? ‘Course right!
Which brings me to my next iron-clad proof that adding scantily-clad he-wenches or wenches work wonders for your blog. Move over now to BloggerNoob and, well, check out the, ahem, assets of every picture shown.
But let me tell you – his site ranks super high in SERPs for making money with one’s blog…in spades!
The plain fact is, humans beans being what they are, provocative pictures of freshly brewed coffee enviable people and their enviable objects do engage the emotions like nothing else (which is why you see my Insane Luxuries Indulgences over the right – confess! You’ve always wanted to buy loose gemstones or a Ferrari Coupe! Confess!)
What do you think? Have you ever wandered over to, say, a blog on how to build legos only to find they’re being constructed by half-clad he-wenches or wenches? Does this kind of advertising work for you?
Personally speaking, I can always appreciate the tasteful scenario of, oh, say, a Chippendales Macgyver fest! But unique-clad women just leave me cold. Go figure.
Enjoy,

Great post Barbara,
I can’t agree more that visual pull has one of the biggest impacts on our perception and helps us make decision to stay and read or not.

Indeed. It’s the unique photos that can really pull us in….. (but I still maintain freshly brewed coffee is far more appealing than half-clad he-wenches or wenches. Yes. I really do need get a life.
