Can You Increase Page Views by Writing a Limerick?

Langley Cornwell
There was a writer from the South
Who wanted to increase her Clout
She wrote a lame poem
No respect for the form
Then a limerick jumped out of her mouth

This poem - Can You Increase Page Views by Writing a Poem? - answered the question definitively for me. Nope. Other (better) poets may have greater page view success with poetry. If so, congratulations and do you conduct workshops?

Anyway, I am 99% of the way to my next Clout level and wondered if a silly limerick would push me over the top. We'll see... Oh yeah, and thanks for humoring me.

    Very fun. None of my limericks do much for my PVs, but my love poems do better than some other things do.

    I love poems and such, they give me a rush, and even though the pv's might stink, I still have fun as I think......them up. LOL! Good luck...here's a pv for ya'!

    I just tried a poem using popular search terms (which was also a topic that interested me) to see what happens. Good idea!

    Give it a shot - it probably will work!

    Brilliant idea. I'm off now to pen a few of my own.

    I thought it was kind of cute. Maybe I'll try one, too. Good luck on that clout jump.

    Limericks are both fun to read and to write. It's nice to be a little silly once in a while in such a serious world. Thanks for my daily laugh.
