Subliminal Messages!

  Several years ago I realized, to my amazement, that nearly
everywhere you looked, examples of subliminal messages could be found
nefariously suggesting things to people, such as "I
don't like cheese" or "paper tastes good". Granted, these are pretty
measly attempts at subliminal advertising, and that no intelligent person
ever would be passive enough to stop eating cheese (or start eating paper).
  Mostly, I was offended that advertisers would think the public stupid,
or gullible enough to not notice these blatant, and quite
noticeable suggestions, as they were often done
ever-so-crudely, that if you had half the intelligence of a half-eaten chipmunk
you would still notice them.
  However, I started thinking. Perhaps I could use this ability of mind control on the visitors at PureDrivel.20m.com. I mean, I must get two or three hits a day, and of those, probably 50% DO have the intelligence of a half-eaten chipmunk. Or less.
  But how? Could I intersperse my literature with latin words such as "yenomemdnes", (which translates as "frequently visit"), and allow the reader's subconcious mind to translate, and instruct the conscious mind to follow? Or is that putting to much faith in the belief that my readers have either?
  $ymbols have been effective throughout history in instructing the masses, but are often vague, and don't give a clear enough message. For example, a WingDing of a computer thrown into every paragraph might suggest that you only use the computer more often, not use it to visit here more often.
  Another technique is to cleverly use acrostic to hide suggestions, as in this passage:
    Passing through the trees
    Under a starry sky, the
    Rippling waves clean
    Entryways into the druid
    Dance. The beating drum
    Rolls across the
    Infinite space of rhythm
    Very near, yet so
    Easily reached, this heaven
    Lasting throughout the
    .20m.com eternity

  However, the .20m.com bit at the end kind of tips my hand, huh? You noticed the hidden message easily right? (?) That's the main sticking point with this idea.
  Persevering, I soon struck upon an idea! I was overjoyed!

I would use overt, super-liminal suggestioning, by simply repeating my message in bold text, thereby forcing the message deep into the reader's mind, despite the possible lack thereof! For example...

...really makes you want to visit PureDrivel.20m.com more, doesn't it?
  So be wary, innosend reader, lest you ome day find yourself caught up in a cacaphmoney of print, and feel an urge to visit my site (among other things). I would suggest that you give in to this urge, as it is much easier than fighting one's subconscious. Visit my site, and bask in the freedom of doing exactly what I tell you to do.
