Well, the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games have concluded and as a blogger, I am missing the traffic already. Sometimes, it seemed like the whole world is out on the web looking for information on the Games, whether they were looking for Olympic photos, Olympic news, Olympic medal tally, Olympic quotes, funny Olympic moments, information on watching the Olympics online, or just curious about Google logo art during the Olympic Games, like why there was a diving pig or a dragon playing ping pong.

And then there was a different group of web surfers looking for information on the Fuwa, checking up what animals are represented by BeiBei, JingJing, HuanHuan, YingYing and NiNi.

For bloggers and webmasters alike, catching the trend is very important. I know of people who would set up a blog or website a few months before a major event like the Olympics, just so that they could cash in on the moment. Yes, “cash in” would be right.

As for me, I did not see a spike in my revenue, as you could see, I did not implement AdSense on my blog and I wrote about Google logo art for the love of the art. Anyway, the traffic killer, in my blogging experience, is still Edison Chen (EDC) and Kira. What about yours?
