Do blogs suck or is it the guy who sets up a blog and doesn’t post that sucks?

OK I admit it. I suck!  My posting to this blog has been pathetic. There I have admitted it. Now I can move on and start anew. You will start seeing regular posts coming from the D-man. They may not always be what you would expect from a “corporate blog” but then this isn’t really a corporate blog. It is a way to give friends, enemies, family, clients, prospective clients and anyone else who might read it a little glimpse into the minds behind Big Ahha. It is a frightening journey but if you wish to join me I will provide the entertainment. See you soon D-man

Need to drive traffic to your website or online newsletter? Try a girl with a crazy arm.

What appears to be the May issue of the H&R Block online newsletter contains the following photo.

Now I don’t know if this young lady has a problem with her arm and if she does I wish her well. The point is a link to this photo has been picked up or perhaps placed by H&R Block on some of the most popular social bookmarking sites on the internet such as Digg.com and Reddit.com. The links go to the H&R Block May newsletter. Do you see where I am going? H&R Block is getting a TON of traffic to their online newsletter today because of that photo. Will anyone following the link to see the photo actually engage H&R Block for their services? Who can really say? But eyeballs that have never seen their newsletter before are there today. Just keep in mind that there are tools out there like this for you to experiment with when you are looking to go outside the box with your marketing efforts. Big Ahha can help you find out more about these and other ways to drive traffic to your site.
