After recently being released from a prison sentence for her involvement in the ImClone scandal, Martha Stewart has proved that with the right attitude and business sense, a comeback is possible for America’s favorite homemaker and her company. According to Hitwise, the share of U.S Internet searches for “martha stewart” increased by 145 percent during the week ending Sept. 17, 2005, and visits to MarthaStewart.com have increased, reportedly, sending visitors to advertiser sites as well as her own newly re-opened online retail store. While inquisitiveness does not guarantee love, it’s a pretty good indicator there’s renewed interest in ankle-bracleted celeb.
