McKinney Cheerleaders Fab Five MySpace Page

Sunday, August 10, 2008

MSN posted a story on the McKinney Cheerleaders (Fab Five) on their A-List Page. Apparently articles featured on this page are followed by a list of “live search” listings. My Blog was #3 on those listings, resulting in a huge rush of traffic to my blog. On the internet they say content is king, but finding the right content will make you king. Well, that and a huge dose of traffic and notoriety. The point is, for those of you following my blog, I did a short post on spotting trends before they happen, in this instance, it paid off well for me. 

Well.... kind of. Anyone who has lost money quickly on PPC ad campaigns will tell you that conversion rates drop when numbers increase. The trick it to tweak your ad copy to convert better, and to continue to split test and tweak until the well runs dry. Some times, you have no control over the decline, you just have to ride it out. Last Friday as a result of the MSN rush (The A-List effect?) I had over 3,500 people hit my page.  I’m sure you can tell by my Alexa ranking, that was well beyond my conventional traffic numbers. My Adsense ads were relevant to the topic less often that I would’ve liked and I converted around 4% of my leads. Not bad, but not great either. Beleive it or not, Cheerleading photographers don’t pay much for internet advertising. Damn Shame. 

So hidden in this post I had to give you a little morsel of what you were looking for.  Right?

How do we uncover those MySpace photos? The girls identies have been hidden… but the internet often leaves little left to be untraced. If you stuck it out and read through my rant, it will pay off, I promise.

The start. McKinney Texas is a relatively small city, it has 107,530 residents.

The Newsweek story about the girls MySpace page photos quoted…

“The pictures posted on MySpace.com looked like the latest installment of ‘Girls Gone Wild.’ In them, cheerleaders from McKinney North High School in Texas exhibited all variety of bawdy behavior. One shot showed a bikini-clad girl sharing a bottle of booze with a friend. Another featured a cheerleader and several other girls in risqué poses offering glimpses of their panties. But the most infamous photo of all was taken in a Condoms To Go store. Five smiling cheerleaders dressed in uniform posed with large candles shaped like penises. At least one of them appeared to be simulating fellatio. ‘It would be an overstatement to describe any of the photographs as pornographic, but it would be an understatement to describe them as harmless high jinks,’”

The above clip was from a magazine article published in Newsweek on January 2nd of 2007. Here is the full article: http://www.newsweek.com/id/37993/page/1

Get to the point already?!

Okay, so best guess is that the McKinney Cheerleaders ran rampant during the 2006 school year.

Classmates.com (you have all seen the banner ads).

We find all students that graduated between the years of 2005 and 2007:

There are no Therets....Cross referencing photos does reveal a possible match....

There are some cute girls and a few look eerily similar to the girls in the publicized photos.
