Free Applebee's Coupons

If you just came to this web page looking for free Applebee’s coupons, let me start by apologizing to you. You have just become a statistic in a little experiment of mine. Many years ago, I saw a band at Summerfest that called itself “Free Hot Lunch”. They stated that by having a name like that, it was the only way they’d get anybody to come see them, thus, the title of this blog.
Let me explain – As a blogger for GermantownNow.com, I am able to see statistics related to all the blogs that I have written. Not detailed demographics or anything, but one thing I do get to see is how many “hits” or visits each of my blogs has received. Of the 35 blogs I’ve posted over the past 8 months, the Top 3 in “hits” received are as follows:
“Ghost, Goblins, Bacon and Eggs” – 1338 visits
“The Treasure Hunt” – 1269 visits
“Daylight Savings” – 1070 visits
What’s interesting to me is that most of my blogs average somewhere around 800 hits. So why would “Ghosts, Goblins, Bacon and Eggs” or “The Treasure Hunt” receive so many more hits than all the others? From my own critical point of view, these certainly weren’t my best pieces of literary work. In fact, the content of these blogs was rather mundane. This leads me to my hypothesis that maybe the title of my blogs plays a critical factor in how many visits each blog receives. Hmmm….but, if that is the case, I would have thought “Dear Britney,” would have received more than 856 hits?
So again, I’m sorry if you came here looking for a free Applebee’s coupon. Maybe you can go to FreeStuff.com and find something there as a token of my appreciation for visiting my blog. If you came here looking for Ghosts, Goblins, Bacon or Eggs, below is a picture of the bacon and eggs I wrote about in that particular blog for you to enjoy. For anyone interested in my silly little experiment, feel free to contact me if you are interested in the results.
G’Night G’Town!
