Ok… it doesn’t take Einstein to figure out the first point. Sex sells. It’s probably the oldest cliché in the marketing text book, but it’s true. So it’s no real surprise that a post based around sex created additional interest & attention. However, it’s worth noting that you probably don’t want to pull this risqué tactic out of your blogging bag too often for a number of reasons:

1. It will lose impact if you use it regularly
2. Your personal brand may be affected. You don’t really want to be known as ‘that sex obsessed marketing guy’ do you…?
3. You might starting ranking for some unfavourable keywords
4. You’ll probably find your blog inhabited by more weirdos
