Viral Marketing

Thanks to all for the kind words. Believe me, it's fun to be here, but it's not as much fun if you can't share what you see.

A quick point about how this site works and how you can help. Many of you made donations via PayPal that got me to Oxnard. That's great, but it's not the long term way this blog will succeed. The biggest potential source of revenue for us comes from blogads. You can see one for satellite TV about halfway down the right hand side of the page. The rates for blogads are determined by traffic. The more visitors we get the more a sponsor pays to buy an ad.

Our traffic has increased this week, to the point it was during the draft, which was our best day ever. We're matching that and beating that consistently. But we need to grow more. So, while it's great that you donate -- and I don't want to discourage that -- the best thing you can do if you like Cowboys Blog is to keep coming and TO BRING FRIENDS. Spread the word.

Please -- Friends Don't Let Friends Read Jean-Jacques Taylor.

Is there a way to include a message board.
I would love reading more intelligent reader comments.
I get sooooo tired of the childish bickering on the only one I’m familiar with at Ft Worth Star-Telegram

Damn Jeff24,

I can’t find that anywhere. Are you in JJ’s office or something?

I can’t find it either. Where did you find it. Are you staking out the complex with Rafael?

ranchreport has the wilder story it was for an unconditional draft pick

by mike on Aug 17, 2005 1:32 PM CDT reply actions

It’s a seventh rounder.

And you can hear the names of the cutted players in dc.com in the latest report. There’s no shocking move.

Was Wilder traded for a conditional pick or a firm one?

by Rafael Vela on Aug 17, 2005 3:36 PM CDT reply actions

Is a conditional 7th, yes.

Hey Raul,

Love the JJ Taylor comment. I used ot like the guy but lately, not so much. His article about the team being old, with too many players over 30, was bogus. I did some research and the Cowboys are right on par with the leageue in terms of over 30 people. Not only that, but with as many youngsters as there are on the DL, in the DB and sprinkled around the offense, I bet our overall average is lower than the league.

So I wrote Taylor about this, tols him it was a non-story, and he sent me something bogus back. Then he published my question in his email bag with a different answer then he had given me. Neither answer addressed my quesiton.
