    The fact that Clay Travis is more searched than someone like Dan Wetzel could mean:

    1) Clay Travis is a more popular writer than Dan Wetzel.

    Or, it could mean. . .

    1) Clay Travis' stuff is harder to find through traditional channels, like logging on to the main page of his web site, or following a link via twitter or blog.

    2) Clay Travis attracts a transient following that does not bother to bookmark his page for repeated viewing.

    3) Fewer people read Fanhouse.com than read Yahoo.com, increasing the pool of people who are likely to access his stuff through a Google Search.

    4) Clay Travis does dumb shit like ask Tim Tebow if he is a virgin, resulting in a huge one-time spikes in Google searches that don't really tell the powers-that-be much about his true market penetration.

    5) Clay Travis Googles himself more than any other writer.

    If you are using "Google" as a euphemism for something else, I wholeheartedly vote for #5.

    You mean Clay Travis is a sports writer and not a country singer? Thank you, Google.

    If Clay Travis were a tree in Alabama, a Tide fan would poison his roots.

    And he'd be the most famous and most-searched tree in Alabama. ;)

    Yeah, it's a sad song. I'll have to try again, during my high season.

    Like a hurricane around your heart
    When earth and sky are torn apart
    He comes gathering up the internet hits
    While hoping that the traffic fits

    He needs you, he needs you
    Internet rider
