Well, I’ve been thinking a lot about promoting the site more lately as the site has been growing and we have been getting more and more traffic. I really appreciate the support from all of you out there reading us regularly! There has been a big response to the new feature BonJolie’s Six Degrees of Everything from our new member BonJolie. I would encourage you to challenge her, because we have yet to have someone stump her.
A lot of stuff has been going on since I last wrote a featured article. I put in my resignation today and will be out of my current job and moving in a few weeks. So yes, I do have a real job. Hard to believe since I spend enough time on this site that I think I should be making money off it, unfortunately I’m not making a stinking red cent, but I’m not complaining. (((subliminal message: click on banner ads! buy stuff!))) So, anywhoo…
I have also been in contact with various websites, trying to form alliances. This site has been around for a while, but I have only recently started promoting it in a big way. This is mostly due to many, many redesigns and a change in our target audience. I think finally MvsR has found its niche. I think we are going to stick with this design for a while, until the site gets too big and becomes too difficult to manage in its current form. I am looking at other hosting options as well so that I can move the site when it outgrows its current setup. However this all takes time and that is something I have been lacking lately, so fortunately we have some kickass writers with a lot to say. (hey, if you would like to submit something, drop me a line…) I have also appreciated all the letters you guys have been sending in. It looks like I’m going to have to blow the dust off the mailbag feature and start updating it regularly =) I am also thinking about changing the newsletter to a different service because people seem to be having problems signing up with yahoo’s groups, so I’m looking at bcentral’s listbot instead. Anyway… let’s get to what this article is all about… Pimpin’ MvsR!!
I have come up with a list of fun ways you too can help promote the site! Here’s the list so far:
(some of these could get you into trouble so don’t be a moron, k? don’t say i didn’t warn you!)
Go to random people’s personal website’s and pimp monkeysvsrobots.com!
Email your friends and family and tell them about MvsR.
Shave monkeysvsrobots.com into the fur of your cat or dog and take them on long walks.
Post monkeysvsrobots.com to your favorite porn site (your pervs!).
Change a coworker’s or person you don’t like’s default settings in their browser to go to monkeysvsrobots.com.
Go door to door and handout a sample page (that you printed off at work) to people in your neighborhood.
Give your kids crayons and markers and encourage them to write monkeysvsrobots.com on everything they see.
Alternatively, give your kids chalk and tell them to write monkeysvsrobots.com on the sidewalk. Stay out of the street kids!
Get a show on a cable access channel and dress up as characters from your favorite Disney movie while prancing around listening to Grandpa Jig’s polka records played at high speed while flashing monkeysvsrobots.com on the screen.
Write a letter to a lost friend or lover and tell them to visit monkeysvsrobots.com’s forums to chat.
Put monkeysvsrobots.com on your business card.
If you are still lost in the 80’s (like a few people I know), stitch monkeysvsrobots.com on your elite “Members” jacket.
Tattoo monkeysvsrobots.com on your forehead and display yourself proudly (clothing optional, but highly suggested).
Lick your favorite frog in the forest and think of your own ideas for promotion!
Tell people to challenge BonJolie!
Go into IRC channels and post the website address in there 20 times over and over. This will win you friends too!
Alternatively, go into AOL chat channels and do the same.
Or, AIM random people and tell them to visit monkeysvsrobots.com.
Carve monkeysvsrobots.com into your body like in the movie Fear.
Get your buddy with a flight license to write monkeysvsrobots.com in the sky.
If he doesn’t have a skywriting setup get him to drop flyers for monkeysvsrobots.com on people’s houses. Avoid police stations!
Pee monkeysvsrobots.com in the snow.
Encourage your pets do the same. Scold them until they get it right. Pets are notorious for misspellings.
Hack websites and provide links to monkeysvsrobots.com. Here are some site to start you off: seanbaby, Law and Order, hiphop, purple and soapnet.
Leave messages on peoples answering machines and tell them to go to monkeysvsrobots.com.
Do the same thing with faxes.
Bring signs to live events with monkeysvsrobots.com written in bright colors. Make sure you are or dress up as a weirdo as weirdo’s get the most press coverage. Some live events to go to: Wrassle fights, Comic Con’s, and Trek or Sci-fi Conventions.
Take the Christmas tree lights down (hey, nobody is going to give you a prize for having them up earlier than your neighbors) and arrange them on the roof spelling out monkeysvsrobots.com. If you have enough strings you can alternate messages, possibly to signal aliens.
*Breaker*Breaker* Tell all of your HAM and CB friends about monkeysvsrobots.com. If you live near a highway, make conversation with truckers.
If you are a real weenie, signal them with Morse code.
Send pictures of yourself with a tag displaying monkeysvsrobots.com on it. My girlfriend would prefer you do this with clothes. This is a family site or something. I dunno.
Link to us through your own website.
Etch monkeysvsrobots.com in the walls of bathrooms.
Encourage your kids to do the same. Also, etch monkeysvsrobots.com in desks. Not advisable at work!
If you have money (hey, who doesn’t these days, ooh, except me…) advertise with us!
So there you have it, a list of ways you can help your friends at MvsR to make it to the top. Maybe someday we will be as big as this site. Who knows? Oh well… My brain is about to explode and it is tired. Don’t ask me why the pictures I put up above are there, because I don’t really know myself. I just did it. Things happen.
