Countdown
With the press release done, I’m preparing myself for whatever business may come. I have to make sure things are organized for whenever a paper picks it up. Becky was saying that you don’t know when some newspaper will pick it up. I hope they do. A lot is riding on me getting this out. I’m going away for my anniversary and Joel is having his reception in Bloomington next week. I’ll probably send the press release out after that. When I get back on Monday, I have to finish the library and Vince’s site. I hope the library calls me back so we can get things done. I want those blogs to go up as soon as possible.
I talked to Jared and thanked him for the hook up. I was telling him that he needs to get his site up and running so there is some way for people to see his work. I hope we can collaborate on a project or two, with him drawing and me coloring. I received a lot of business cards recently. I’m going to have to go through them and just cold call about websites.
I’ve been thinking about what Vince and I were talking about as far as an online classified section. I think the main problem would be getting the ranking up. I’ll look into it in a couple of weeks. Haven’t talked to Matt in a while. I wonder how things are going. He said they moved to a new building in crown point.
Blogs so far seem like the way to go for getting yourself in Google. Yahoo never hassled me about getting in their index. Google takes forever. But when I mention something in my blog, I pop up in Google. For example: The name ‘Solar Dragons’ isn’t common. So I don’t expect to see it a lot. But ‘Solar’ and ‘Dragon’ are common. Every D&D game, Final Fantasy and any other role playing game that has a dragon in it shows up before my site does on Google. Ditto for ‘Solar’. There’s moves from Dragon Ball Z with the term ‘Solar’ in it. Other RPG games in addition to fuel discussion mention ‘Solar’. So it takes forever to actually find my site in Google, if its even in there. As soon as I mention something in my blog though, I’m in Google. Just like that. So now I’m debating how to advertise my blogs so I can be in Google under a variety of topics. Since I’m always feeding a blog, it would seem faster than making a webpage and waiting forever.
Again, more research is needed. Guess I’ll get started Monday.
