Stupid Blog Clipart (don’t!)

Stupid clipart makes your blog look stupid. I know that you read somewhere that people love graphics… but do you really need this stupid stock photo attached to your article just to get people read it? Don’t add pointless graphics to your blog posts. It doesn’t do anything for your SEO, and just fills up your reader’s screen with worthless garbage. Instead try to create some content that people actually care about.

  1. How will I know that an article is interesting without a sweet thumbs up webding or some amazing istock photo?

    I mean, come on! This isn’t a Mensa meeting, bro.

    I think the clip art in this post lends it a certain pathos that it might not otherwise have had. Way to disprove your own point, Rob! :)
