"Sexy" Sells - I have the Stats to Prove It

We used to take the picture approach on one of our blogs because it helped traffic so much. Certain posts would include pictures of scantily-clad cheerleaders for some team that was involved in the post (the ones with under-boob were my favorite). That is, until one of our partner sites decided they were going to stop doing business with us if we didn't take them down. Moral: Be on the lookout for uptight suits ready to ruin your sexy selling!

So you got more views, which is nice, but I'm also interested in downloads, feedback, usage, etc..

Perhaps the people who clicked through were disappointed by the lack of actual "Sexy" and instead you just used more bandwidth with no real conversion difference.

Not hating on your combo box, it looks quite polished.

ob correlation != causation

Another hypothesis may be that the "Sexy Combo" box is the only one where a picture of the opened drop down does not appear, necessitating a visit to the actual site to see what it looks like in operation.

This claim may not be entirely true. I think people clicked on this link because they couldn't see what it might look like when the dropdown is completely open. This plugin in question shows just the initial state of the dropdown. Whereas pictures of other plugins show how they look after user clicks on it i.e when the dropdown list is completely displayed.

this was the exact thinking behind our decision to become thesixtynine.

Expect "Sexy Top 10 Lists' to dominate Digg/Reddit for the next few weeks.

Hmm, the article title has the word sexy in it. To vote up or not...

Sexy sells? OK, but why stop there? You can get more and faster with a bank robbery.

I don't understand you people.
