Have you ever wondered what make you click on some avatars in the MyBlogLog lists and why there are others you never click? Something is definitely getting your attention and you can be sure that you are not the only one doing it.
Does this mean that you can attract visitors with a picture? It sure does and women have known it for years and I know for a fact that if the picture looks like a beautiful woman the likelihood of me clicking it is greatly increased.
But let me give you a few examples and tell you what I think of the three avatars that have recently visited my blog.
First one is from ThinkTechno.com and I honestly would not have clicked it if it weren’t for this post. Is it inspiring? No. Does it look like something that you find interesting? No. Do you become curious when you see it? No.
Could the person behind this picture get a better avatar and thereby get more visitors? Absolutely.
Next we have one that I really like and it is not because it is inspiring or looks like something that I find interesting but purely because I get curious. What is this colorful hand and why are the fingers in different colors? I must click to find out that it links to a blog called WrightHandBlogger.com. Nice avatar if you ask me.
Last but not least I took the picture from the guy behind the blog called something as difficult as http://myeasymoney.mybargaincity.info/. The reason I went for this avatar is solely because there were no pictures of beautiful women (bikini etc.) that had visited my blog recently. Will this picture get more clicks? I can’t answer for the female bloggers but I do think that some of them will be curious and click to see who this swimming pool guy is.
Have you ever thought of how many visitors you miss out on because of your avatar?

Great job pointing this out to us. I found it slightly humorous as well.
Why did you find it humorous John?
