SF.COM ADVERTISING WORKS!

[canyongear]

Since www.canyongear.com ,the site that is, is fairly new, I thought I would share with all of you what's happening.

For any company or potential advertisers thinking about using SF.COM to promote products or services here's a few FACTS regarding our results using the SIGNATURE AD.

www.canyongear.com went live on July 13th and thru yesterday, all documentable via Google analytics, here are the results:

#1 TRAFFIC REFERRING SITE: SF.COM

2,820 VISITS TOTAL:

679 VISITS: DUE TO SIGNATURE AD ON SF.COM

24%OF OUR TRAFFIC COMES FROM SF.COM!

ANNUALIZED AT THIS RATE THAT'S 5,507 VISITS!

$500.00+- SIGNATURE AD COST/ .09 CENTS A VISIT ANNUALIZED!

BEATS ANY PAID FOR CLICK SERVICE - GOOGLE ADWORDS, YAHOO ETC.

THANKYOU SF.COM - EXCELLENT RESULTS FOR THE COST.

OH AND THOSE VISITS HAVE COME FROM:

6 CONTINENTS
21 SUB CONTINENTS
83 COUNTRIES
1,130 CITIES

WHERE CAN YOU GET THIS KIND OF EXPOSURE, IF YOU FIND IT CALL ME.

ADVICE: DON'T CHEAP IT AND RELY ON YOUR POSTS (YOU KNOW THE ONES YOU SNEEK YOUR URL INTO) ONLY TO PROMOTE PRODUCT OR SERVICES. PLUS IT'S SORTA CHEATING THE SITE AND THE OWNERS....BUY A SIGNATURE AD, YOU CANNOT GET CUSTOMERS FOR .09 CENTS ANYWHERE TO COME TO YOUR BUSINESS.

WE HAVE ADS ON OTHER MEDIA, USE GOOGLE, YAHOO AND OTHER AD WORDS, NOTHING COMES CLOSE TO THIS SITE, FOR THE COST PER VISIT/CLICK THRU!

BY THE WAY THE TRAFFIC COMES FROM THE SIGNATURE ON THE POSTS, THE LITTLE AD TO THE RIGHT IS JUST A BONUS..YOU CAN TRACK BOTH FOR HITS. 98% COMES FROM THE SIGNATURE WHEN YOU POST.

AMAZING POWER OF THIS SITE!

ps: nobody asked me to write this!

Other benefits of being a member here including but not limited to:

1. MET WAHOONBOX: CanyonGear wiring gloves developed with his help and input. The second round of prototype is finished and should be in my hands in a few weeks for BOX and another select mate to try before finalizing the design and production.

2. MET ANGLER'S ENVY - KEVIN KNOX: Kevin inspired our Custom Rods and worked tirelessly on the spec's and design of rods and gaffs. These are handmade by the way not hand crafted big difference. Introduced Kevin to Fred Malcarne from WT guides.

3. MET DEEP C: Paul initiated the updating and re-introduction of the "Masher". This most likely would have never happened without SF.com.

4. MET LEN BELCARO BIG GAME FISHING JOURNAL: Working with Len on a story for our products and helping with the Tred Barta effort.

5. MET THE OWNER OF OCEAN CITY LURES: They are developing a small ballyhoo witch lure for us, similar to a bullet with eyes. They also are developing "MAX" our true Teaser Lure..using the information we came away with from "MAXIMUS", you remember that post..right? The big brown teaser..(turd), as some called it..well it was just a prototype folks. They are also developing our jet head line of abalone inserts lures from scratch, head shapes with our specs, jet insert and keel weigthing..should be out in less than a month. The unique thing is these are true jet heads, meaning, they jet all the way thru the head so it maintains the head shapes versus the jet head styles that force the head shape with a cup nose. No shortcuts to truely produce a real jet head in many shapes, truely an undertaking without brass tubing in the insert that shows in the lure head. OCL is showing me the true meaning of innovative lure head making with our direction.

6. MET MARK RAY OF MARK RAY STUDIO'S: Mark has supported our Lure products using them in his art. How cool is that! He choose our products, not some of the other big names. Im' greatful to Mark.

7. MET ACE1ST AND THE "HOOK A HOO" RODEO TOURNAMENT: Ace1st introduced us to the tournament and we donated tackle to the tournament. Thanks Ace!

The list goes on..most importantly MET all of you in one fashion or another.

Using some of the tools here, SURVEY's help name, pic colors, components etc..for some of our products..(Name the gaff line..recall that one?)..it goes on and on.

This is one powerful social networking medium, take advantage of it..We did!

ps: nobody asked me to write this!

Hey.....you forgot that you got to be a part of the MARTINIS "HOOK A HOO RODEO" which benefits the SHRINERS BURN CENTERS. I'm no MARK RAY, but hopefully I'm on the "HOPE TO MEET" list.

[canyongear]

Ace, thanks for remembering that one..my bad! Added to the list.

This is what a genuine signature ad looks look it has the SF.com logo attached to it..anything else is a purely a non-paying advertiser who attaches a URL in their posts, which is unfair to those who do pay....well I won't say what's running thru my head..but you get the gist..
