Re: June 3 Triple Crown Leaders - Hi GT - I'm glad they arrived! The EC Series cards are only for Triple Crown winners so they are extra rare. FYI - Stefanie is my sister, not my spouse - she's the first person I hired and she's been doing a great job for me since 2006! Looks like the race just got tighter for this quarter!
When to run advertising? - Depending on your business, when you run an advertising campaign can be crucial. For example, during the month of the NCAA championships or the Baseball World Series, there's no good advertising anything except sports related stuff, because that's all guys are interested in during those months. Don't advertise during Thanksgiving and Christmas, unless it's for toys...
Tale of a success story! - First, Shonika, thanks for that link! I'll check it out. Now, yahoooo! I'm so excited right now that I hope I'll be forgiven if I gush gush gush on what's turning out to be a success story. And one that I planned. I had a feeling, back in September when the Red Sox were leading their division so comfortably (before those dang Yankees made it tight!) that the Sox would be going to the World Series. So, I'm thinking to myself, they've got this rookie, Jacoby Ellsbury, first Navajo in the major leagues. That type of thing always draws readers, as does the first Japanese player, etc. etc. And not only was the the first Navajo, but he was also an exciting, star in the making type of player. So I created a website for him, really only a two page biography...and the site took off immediately. Everyone who saw him on TV wanted to read about him. And my google ads on the site took off as well. (But not the Amazon ads, darn it!!!! Never the Amazon ads!) Then, at the end of September the injured player he'd been subbing for came back, and Jacoby went back to the bench. And the hits - and Google clicks - dropped off dramatically when he was on the bench during the ACLS, while their regular center fielder, stuck it up on offense. But, finally yesterday, he got the start in center field because their regular center fielder couldn't hit anything at hte plate. And Jacoby got a hit, scored a run, and made some good plays in the field. And the hits - and clicks - to the website started ramping up again, and tonight, with him also making two "highlight" reel type catches in the field as well as delivering a timely hit, they're going through the roof. Also, he is bound to be on the sports news tomorrow - along with his teammates of course - because of those two plays in the field. So all this free publicity is playing right into my hands - just as I planned and expected it to do. And, even better, the World Series starts on Wednesday and he will be starting in center field again. I expect his defense to be stellar, which will catch people's eyes again, and if he can only do well at the plate.. Even if people aren't baseball fans, they usually tune in to the World Serious. And with Jacoby's background, people are going to be bound to want to read about him. So I am expecting much, much more traffic to my site, and I'm just so proud of myself for seeing this opportunity and capitalizing on it, and I am sooo happy that the Red Sox got into the World Series, because they were down 1 - 3 and I came *that* close to losing all my free publicity! Whew. Okay, sorry for the gush, but I am just really looking forward to seeing what happens in the next few days. Of course it will tail off after the World Series ends, but next year will be Jacoby's first official season as a Rookie, so then it should ramp up again... Now I've got to find a rookie football player whom people might like to read about, on a football team that [i:3c74rhpr]should [/i:3c74rhpr]get to the Superbowl... for example the Colts, and see if lightning will strike twice!
