Man, I think you made the letters too small.
Seriously, the audience of this forum isn't the dumb masses who require flashy and dumb marketing tricks to get their attention focused. Most people here have demonstrated reasonable intelligence, and IMHO most of them just end up ignoring something that is designed to attract the dumb people.
Let your prose and content draw your audience, not gimmicks, they will stay much longer that way.
Repeatedly doing it makes it worse, because your "still dumb-and-responsive-to-dumb-marketing" base decreases in numbers every time.
No offense intended with the word "dumb" to anyone, replace it with whatever makes you understand the reference, without making you angry/hurt/other negative emotional response
