Not sure why I'm surprised about the traffic. After all, the point of the page is to show people how to make or where to buy a cow costume. And the spike in traffic every end of June/early July is certainly tied to Chick-Fil-A's annual event. In other words, the lens is working as planned!
Of course there's a spike in October, too, as people plan Halloween costumes. But actually this is a fairly popular lens that gets traffic year-round. I guess people have other, year-round reasons to dress up like a cow. And I certainly appreciate that!
Do you have a lens that gets traffic spikes that surprise you? Leave a link in your comment!
I do, and it spiked just two days ago. My lens Walnut Grove Explodes takes a huge spike whenever the final episode of Little House on the Prairie airs on TV. In the final episode they blow up the town with dynamite, and it always stirs up a bit of chatter online.
ReplyDeleteWow, kab, that is very cool! Great lens, too!
ReplyDeleteI have some obvious seasonal lenses that spike but I will have to think about whether I have any others that do so...
ReplyDeleteYour How To Make A Cow Costume is definitely one I can see as being useful and relevant all year long.
Hye susan... i already read your lens. Very creative lens. nway, cograts :)
ReplyDeleteLOL...I used to work at Chick-fil-A and I remember the little kids would come dressed up as cows. It was soo cute!
ReplyDeleteHaha. I had no idea about the chik-fil-a offer. that is awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to understand those little intricasies that can affect your traffic.
