(This post was inspired after I found myself automatically clicking on a tweet link that said “4,439 Words on Driving Traffic to your Blog”, realised what I’d done, and started laughing at myself.)
What else have I missed? (comment below)

I am unable to understand this post. But well some points are useful for me.
It was just meant as a funny way of pointing out how well trained some of us are to clicking links that have numbers in them. Like those headlines that say “$2,439 in one weekend” – it’s an old Marketing trick that specific numbers are meant to be more believable. So when I clicked on a link just because it had numbers, I started thinking why – and this post was the result.
I do hope you get some use out of it.
