A Great Example of a Facebook Ad .. What Sex Sells!

At lunch time today I was cruising around my Facebook account denying people’s farmville requests and a noticed a classic Sex Sells type of Facebook ad.

Time to dissect this ad and why it is great!

1. The headline is extremely simple and relevant. “Attention” grabs my attention and “SEO” is a industry term that I know.

2. The advertisement copy creates a sense of urgency and a feeling that I better get this before anyone else does: “Limited to only 1 App Per City.” It also creates a feeling exclusivity because I am able “Lock out the others.”

3. The hot chick is looking at me! What it gets my attention. Eyeballs attract eyeballs! Here is a free tip: Increase your form fill conversion rate by placing an image near your form of people staring in that direction.

****Do not read any further if you can not handle adult language**** This means you Dan.

4. Back to the hot chick. What Im a guy. It looks like she is about to suck on a dick. Call me vulgar, but this image sends a huge sexual cue to men. I mean really what the fuck is she holding in her hand that look like a penis? Why is her mouth open and he tongue pressing against her cheek? Bottom line this send a sexual cue to me and some select females. Sex gets people’s attention!

Now you see these ads all over the internet and I know they work. So ladies and gentleman there is a reason why prostitution is worlds oldest profession cause it sells!

Google Suggest - I Finally Made It!

This morning I was doing some vanity searches for my brand and name when I noticed I finally made Google suggest!

Now this is not that big of deal, but I found it funny that it only took about 5 years to happen! Now why did it happen? I have people been searching my brand more or my name? Possibly. Hell it could just have been triggered by my own vanity searches.

On a interesting note, “Steve Peron” did not show up in suggested. I mean legally I go by Stephen and not Steve.

Thanks Google for recognizing me! Wait … Google now knows about me .. they will be lerking in the shadows .. all my websites will drop in rankings … o no! (j/k) I think it is time to bust out the tin foil hats!

Bottling my first home brew!

Home made Wort Chiller for only $40

For Xmas I got a killer home brew kit. However I did not get a wort chiller.

I ran down to Home Depot and got the following items all for under $40.

So I got 1/4 copper tubing and I need attachments to fit it my garden hose. I talked to one of the home depot guys and we ended up getting 3 pieces that basically go to a 1/2 diameter to a garden hose. (15$)

1/4 copper tubing 20 feet (15$)

The copper tubing already comes spiraled so I streched and modified to my liking.

Final wort chiller product! Tied it off with some 1/2 plasitic tubing and hose clamps. ($10).

Overall it is not that pretty but it kicked ass! It dropped my 2.5 gallon wort from 210 degrees to 90 degress in less than 10 mins!

Hope this helps!

Smart Domain Name Advertising by Puccho “Japanese Candy”

My co-worker of mine “OnlineSheriff” hooked my up with some Japanese candy from a company called “Puccho“.

While enjoying this tasty treat I notice their bright silver wrapper had their domain name on it.

Simple, but effective marketing. I do not know any other candy company that places their domain name on their wrapper. This simple piece of marketing got me to go their website and now I am considering even order some candy for my family.

Sometimes, its the small things that add up to big results.

The Internet is Still the Wild Wild West

Screw the FTC. They are trying to regulate what they do not know!

Reminds me of a scene from an old western

Sherriff: Im the new sheriff in town!

Outlaw: There is no law here!

Sherriff: No listen here boy. Handover your guns and go on with your business.

Outlaw: Sure ..

“Outlaw proceeds to shoot the sheriff”

I just don’t get how the government is going to try to regulate something they have no idea about. Or try to apply traditional rules to a non-traditional marketing method.

At the end of the day, the government and Google are going to have to clearly define rules and regulations, but how can they do this without exposing their secret algorithm?

Google Street View Car Sighting!

Last Friday I was on my way home from work driving on the I-5 Southbound and I saw a Google Street View Car.

At first I was bit shocked and excited to get this close to something owned by Google. (What Google is the all mighty and mysterious in my line of work) Quickly I did the smartest thing I could think of! I whipped out my shitty Motorola Q and started taking pictures at 65 MPH.

Sorry for the crappy quality of the photos, but check out my pictures of the Google Street View Car:
