<\/a>Did you know that those posts about Ten Amazing Things you should know are not really about the ten things?!<\/p>\nHere are ten things you should know about posts about ten things:<\/p>\n
1. The Website posting them sells advertising.<\/p>\n
2. The number of readers they have is measured by page views.<\/p>\n
3. The more page views they have the more people might see advertising<\/p>\n
4. They charge more for the advertising if they have a lot of page views<\/p>\n
5. If you click through to see all ten of the \u201cchild movies stars who grew up to be ugly\u201d you increase their page views by ten<\/p>\n
6. They lure you in with a tantalizing headline like, \u201cYou won\u2019t believe what happened next in this amazing video of a two year old falling down the steps!!\u201d<\/p>\n
7. At the end of each page they get you to click to the next page to get even more page views.<\/p>\n
8. Posts that tell you ten things you really, really have to know are in fact, only about the advertising.<\/p>\n
9. When you read any kind of blog post or article on line enticing you to click to the next page this is what they are doing.<\/p>\n
