THE CHALLENGE.
November 28, 2008
The 30 Day Challenge. We will challenge you and you can challenge us right back! We will post a blog every day for 30 days. We will also visit others blogs for those same 30 days and post comments. In return, we challenge you to read our blog each day and, if you like it, pass it to one new friend. You in?! We are!
Ok so why the challenge you ask. Yes, it’s a savvy business decision and we always promised to be honest with you. So here is the behind the scenes of the challenge: this is a method to drive traffic to a blog.
Here’s why:
1. Consistent blog posts allow google to recognize you as an active (read: real) blog and gives you better traction in searches
2. Consistent blog posts allow your loyal readers to have fulfilled expectations. They know when to expect new content and will not be disappointed with a non-updated blog or think that you are, uh-hum, a slacker
3. Regularly commenting on others blogs, and this means genuine, thoughtful comments, not spam, will show that you have something insightful to say and will give you links back to your own blog with an extended reader base and will help to further increase traffic

After the 30 days, we will post the results of the Challenge. We will be honest and let you know if we were able to keep up with writing that many blogs and commenting on others. We will also post the analytics. That’s right, we will give you the numbers to see if we reach our goal of 500 unique visitors by the end of the year.
If you blog, you can use us as your beta. If it works for us, shoot, it can work for you too. As they say, its always about the network. This challenge is just a fun way to build and rely upon our network.
The challenge is on.

I think this is a wonderful idea. Not sure if I have the blogging stamina that you do, but I will be checking in!

Matt, don’t listen to her. You’re quite the boring old chap.
And in other news, my ‘word verification’ code below, in order to post this comment, is ‘culctolo’. I pledge to use that word in a sentence tomorrow while speaking with a prospect.

So Matt, did you use the word? How did it work out? Please give us the sentence and the response from your prospect! Did you get the sale?!

Nah miss, I didn’t say it in a sentence today. I’ve been so busy, what with slangin’ deals like a mugg and whatnot. You know, there is something so distinctly Mattish about being almost halfway to quota on the second day of the month…
And this posts word is ‘crabiond’. I don’t even know where to start with that one.
