How To Search

  1. The web is a really big place.
  2. It even includes pages about more than one person named “Vanessa”.
  3. While you don’t want to write an entire essay in your search query, the more specific you are, the better the search engines will know what you’re looking for.
  4. And they’ll give you the page you want, rather than this site, which despite ranking #1 for “vanessa nude”, does not contain the pictures you are looking for.
  5. Including the person’s last name will narrow things down a bit.
  6. No, I’m not going to link to the query for you.
  7. Or to the photos.
  8. Or approve all of your comments, wherein you are all helpfully sharing where to find the real deal.
  9. It’s rather charitable of you to want to help each other out like that though.
  10. Sweet, really.

This post brought to you by a recent Disney actress-related scandal, which has caused the traffic on my site to more than quadruple in the two days since the news broke. Sadly, I don’t think any of the visitors are actually looking for me. Possibly there is a lesson here about capitalizing on current events, writing about the subject matter, and monetizing in creative ways. But it’s a sunny day at the beach, so there’s really just no time.
