Paik-Heavy / Fake Site

I used a variety of web sites to weave my Peter Thompson web. In addition to getting traffic at the basic paik-heavy.com web site I thought it would be interesting to see if people would follow a trail. Initially, I linked directly to some sites - like the PHI-ERI lens on Squidoo. For other things, like the MySpace page, I left them out there for a while to see if anyone would discover them on their own.

At some point during the experiment I had ideas of really trying to leverage these different sites and put together an interesting puzzle or maze. While I did put together some limited puzzles (like this one) I found the experiment consuming too much of my time so I aborted my ideas of a more elaborate treasure hunt.

Another problem I’ve had throughout the experiment is keeping track of what I’ve done and what I’m dong. In retrospect, I wish I had put more planning into the experiment so that I had a clear path when I started. But I didn’t realize anyone would come to the site to begin with so I was caught a little off guard from the start. I’ll try to post things I tried as I remember them. For example, I used a lot of anagrams but now I don’t remember what some of them were for.

I’ve tried to create a comprehensive list of sites that made up the Peter Thompson web. I’ve probably forgot some so I will add those as I think of them.
