Why Sex is Epic Win

June 2nd, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Hints and Tips, Life of Slice?, guides, internet

Sexy images, commercials, and even suggestive phrasiology can be the key to a great advertising campaign. Although not always necessary, for most products, you’ll find that when associated with sex, they sell better! It’s my belief that every human being thinks at least a little bit like I do, and when I see an advertisement with a good looking female posing half nude on the internet. I’m probably going to click on the advertisement, even if it’s just to see more.

The Go Daddy Girl

I’m sure that for everyone, one of the most obvious companies that uses sex to appeal to it’s customers is Godaddy. A web hosting company and domain registrar that almost every webmaster is familiar with. Despite the constant foul reviews Godaddy get’s on the internet, I constantly hear of people that use it. The godaddy girl is just so hot, it makes their whole campaign a little more irresistable.

Sure, any company that spends money on commercials is going to get some bonus customers. But, which commercial do you think is going to get the most followers. A professional commercial, with a guy in a suit telling you about all of the positive features of their web hosting company, or a commercial with a smokin’ hot babe telling you to use her web host. I don’t think she even tells you to use godaddy, she just say… Go Daddy.

If that turned any of you onto godaddy, I apologize… don’t use them for your web host or domain registrar. Bluehost is a much better host, and namecheap is by far the best domain registrar. Neither of which have the advantage of sexy advertisements.

Sex doesn’t have to be your advertising campaign in order to get people interested in your website. It could be a simple article, or tidbit of content about sex that leads users on to the rest of your content. For example, this post could be the turning point in vital pixel’s streak of poor-traffic. Of course I have no idea, since the post isn’t published. But, judging by the way things usually play out… I assume it will be.

On the other hand, sex can be your whole advertising campaign, and what your website is about. Sex and Porn and the two top searched terms on the internet. So that tells you what people are interested in. I’m not even going to bother calling them pervs either, everyone has done it.

An photo blog with sexy images on it, is ten times more likely to succeed than a photo blog about fancy cars. I think most people can imagine, that cars are a big market in today’s world. Sexy, nudity, and suggestive art prevail though, and don’t let anyone tell you it doesn’t.

Advertising campaigns for food using lewd videos and commercials is also common. Here is one commercial for burger king in the UK.

Just try incorporating a sexy picture into your website. Use a good looking female spokesperson for your next business. Hooters will be my last examples, probably one of the most successful chain of restaurant’s to ever exist. Why do you think this is so? Because women are just decoration when it comes to marketing, and it works pretty damn well.

Black Kid’s Computer Desk

May 28th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Life of Slice?

Ok, so this doesn’t really pertain to the general content of Vital Pixel, other than the fact that this is indeed, a desk meant for computers.  I was just stumbling around (as in stumble-upon-ing around) the internet, and I came across this image.  Of course it’s not the image that’s funny, and rather, it’s the title of the image.  We know that this was most definitely not a racist comment on Target’s part… at least I hope so.

DoFollow Blogs

May 24th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Life of Slice?

Many people expect any blog they comment to give them a high-pr back link. The truth is, not all blogs have DoFollow activated, and that means that the link back won’t do anything for your page rank. You can find a directory of blogs that have DoFollow enabled Here. As long as the blog you’re posting on has DoFollow enabled, your link will be tracked by google, and will help to boost your SEO ratings.

There is a mozilla firefox plugin called Searchstatus which allows you to see if a blog is ‘dofollow‘ or ‘nofollow‘. The search status plugin shows much more than just if the blog you’re reading is ‘dofollow’ or ‘nofollow’. The plugin also shows the pagerank, meta tags, link status, whois, and other stuff.

The most important feature of Search Status, is that it highlights the nofollow links in light bright pink. If the blog is DoFollow, the links won’t be highlighted.

I always leave my plugin on, because if I find any blogs that have Dofollow turned on, I can leave a comment and get a useful backlink or two. Most popular blogs have DoFollow enabled because they’ve realized the importance to other bloggers.

To Make Your Blog DoFollow:

Making your blog a DoFollow blog is probably the easiest thing you could do on your blog. All you have to do is go to semiologic and download the plugin. Once you have it downloaded you just upload it to your blog like any other and activate it from the admin control panel.

Now your links will be worth something to other bloggers! :)

In case anyone was wondering, I have DoFollow enabled as well.

You Will Drive Electrics

May 23rd, 2008 | 3 Comments | Posted in Life of Slice?

I heard about a new system that is going to be put into play for electric cars this morning. This system really sounds like what is going to get people to switch to electric cars. First of all, it will be much cheaper than the current situation with gas cars. Second, it is totally environmentally friendly, the electric cars don’t give off any emissions, and the batteries are reusable.

An Electric Car

How it Will Work:

  • The company will be charging much like a cell phone company charges.
  • You will get your electric car for free, and then pay maybe 200-300 dollars monthly for a certain amount of mileage. (You will be charged for mileage, instead of minutes).
  • Recharging your batteries will be free, you will drive into an electric-station (instead of a gas station). You will drive inside of something much like a mechanical car wash. Then, your old battery will automatically drop out, and a new one will be inserted.
  • You can then continue driving, without having to pay for anything other than membership. The batteries are rechargeable, so they are reused and put into the next car once it is ready.

From what I’ve heard, the first stations will be set up in Lost Angeles, and San Francisco by the year 2010. The company that is doing this is called something like Build a Better Planet, but I’m not exactly sure. The company was created by an activist that obviously wants people to start using electric cars. He makes the capital, while saving the environment, and saving the US economy.

Why it’s Good for the Economy:

Right now, the US is forced to buy oil from other countries, and we’re in a somewhat economic depression. We are very dependent on the oil supply, so we continue to spend oodles (alot) of money on it. As we funnel our money into the other countries that produce the oil, we become more and more poor. Apparently we don’t have anything of equal value to trade here.

So, once people switch over almost-completely to electric cars, the demand for gas will go down, and so will the prices. Our country will stop spending all it’s money on gas, and boosting other countries economies. It will cost a lot less to drive around, and eventually the gas car will be antique.

I’ll be looking into this project more, and trying to find out ways to donate, because I’d really like to see this get done. Anyone else?!

Juicy Campus

May 17th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Life of Slice?, World, internet

Apparently another guy was arrested over making an obviously fake threat on the internet today.  The threat was Made on JuicyCampus, which is a site where kids/teens can gossip about their schools I guess.  Something I would never use, but I guess it’s pretty popular (It is now! lol).  I know threats are wrong, and you shouldn’t do it in real life, nor on the internet… but I definitely think that the people should be given a little more slack when it comes to the internet.

Despite school shootings being horrible, I’m certain mosts teens have made some wise crack about pulling a VT, and even elaborated on that.

This person was arrested for writing:

“I wonder if i could shut down the school by saying I’m going to shoot as many people as i can in my second class tomorrow.I hope I get more than 50,”

George So says, and then goes on to add

“For liability reasons and IP tracking I won’t leave it at that. But seriously, this site is rediculous [sic], if it got big, and someone put the effort into writing a big long serious suicide note informing all readers that he would kill over 100 kids, they could shut down the school. Nice.”

To me that doesn’t even sound like a threat, but the police thought that it had to be taken seriously.  Obviously with all of the recent school shootings, they needed to be careful.  George So’s colleague told the campus police about the post, and the campus police then told the city police.  George So ended up being arrested, and his apartment was searched (where no weapons were found).

So… long story short, much adieu about nothing.

My Teacher Pwns me… at WOW

May 16th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Life of Slice?

If you ever wondered why your 50 year old teacher isn’t married, has no kids, and seems like a total geek. It’s not just because he/she is a total book nerd. It’s because she sold her soul to World of Warcraft.

I’m not even kidding when I say My Teacher Pwns me at WOW, I’m lying because it’s actually my friends teacher… but still, I’m not joking. Apparently during class a couple of my friends were talking about the online sensation, World of Warcraft and their teacher ended up hearing. She made some comment about “trying to get away from WOW”. When my friends asked her what she was talking about she said she had two geared 70’s. Which really just means she’s totally hardcore.

Unfortunately for her, the only people looking for girls that play WOW when they’re that old… Are other guys that play WOW and are also that old. Some geeks may call her a hero, but I kinda think it’s just a little bit too much. She would’ve had to have gotten into WOW when she was already far a long in her adulthood. Which means she never went through a phase where she actually played the game as a kid. Then we could give her a slight break on account of, she could be having nostalgia.

Anyways, just thought I’d share a funny fact. Old-Spanish-Teacher-Plays-WOW-and-has-two-geared-level-seventies~
