A Profitability Experiment with Fatal Familial Insomnia

Fatal Familial Insomnia. Until about three minutes ago I didn't know anything about it except what I could derive from the obvious name. FFI is some condition involving lack of sleep that results in death. I have no interest in it.

So why am I writing about it? I'm writing about it as a Google search term and this entire article is an experiment. As of 53 minutes ago fatal familial insomnia was the second hottest search term on Google. The first hottest was something I REALLY didn't want to write about or have my name associated with, so I picked number two. I'm going to see if the pointers I've been given about researching and using current high ranking search terms and keywords actually make an article take off. I figure one of two things are going to happen, provided I get this article published while the Fatal Familial Insomnia trend is still hot:

1. This article will get no more than a few page veiws and I'll go back to writing about substantive issues that interest me and never make a ton of money in a few days for very little work

OR

2. This article will take off like a banshee and I will have discovered the incredibly simple key to massive internet wealth and never have to work out of a cubicle again as long as I live (provided I don't expire from FFI (that's Fatal Familial Insomnia)

Of course, the other thing that might happen is this article will get a moderate number of hits and the results will be totally inconclusive because I really have no clue as to how to properly research the use of "hot" internet search terms and am just being a big goof.

But just to add a little more spice to the experiment, here's a few other "hot" current keywords:
36th president (I really don't know who is searching for these things
Indian in the Cupboard
and mermaid syndrome.

None of this makes sense to me. But I'm banking on more savy content producers leaving comments about how stupid my little experiment is and by the art of deduction I will at least glean a few hints from them on how to better understand the whole Google keyword phenomenon. Meanwhile, if you came here hoping to learn all about fatal familial insomnia syndrome, I apologize for misleading you. I would go research it and leave you something worthwhile for your troubles, but I'm afraid if I spend too much time before getting this article published fatal familial insomnia will have dropped too far down the list of hot search topics and my little experiment will be ruined.

I will be following up with an additional article based on the results (or lack thereof) of this one.
