It's a Blondfire Christmas

So Blondfire (formerly known as Astaire) has released an exclusive Holiday EP through iTunes. It's only $3.96!! I've mentioned Blondfire several times before and seen them in concert and I sure wish they'd play somewhere local again.

I've purchased it at iTunes and I am (impatiently) waiting for the tracks to download...

And speaking of holiday tunes:

The free iTunes download of the week is Jingle Bells by Diana Krall (it'll only be free through the 13th of this December).

And for 99 cents you can get Let it Snow by Carly Simon.

No Exceptions

Bumper sticker that I was just behind:

Peace on Earth for Everyone.
No Exceptions!

Or something close to that meaning. And I agree!

The Power of Yahoo! Banner Ads

So I can't believe how many search hits I get I get on this blog as a result of this “eating spiders” ad campaign from Yahoo! It's bringing more visitors to this site than I can imagine. And I'm getting the weirdest comments to it. Some of it's just some people screwing around but it's still unbelievable as to how many results I'm getting from it. I'm not scoring as high on the search results (I was in the top 5-10 on many variations, but now I don't even make the first pages for most of the searches that make it here) but I'm still getting massive hits.

All I can say is this Yahoo ad is getting people to click around and that's for sure. I'm not sure what such a massive campaign would cost but it seems effective from my end.

Comments related to “spiders” and “eating” should be placed on my earlier post. This post's comments should be about searches, advertising, etc.

Anna Nalick in Michigan

Speaking of getting hit by the search engines, I get lots of hits on my earlier posts about Anna Nalick but strangly very few comments.

She's in Michigan a few times this week (Mt. Pleasant and Detroit). I know I'm going to at least one of the shows.

Anyone else out there going to any of them? It actually might be billed as just the Rob Thomas concert but she's opening, so don't be late! They're both at small venues so leave a comment (or e-mail) and maybe we can say hi at the concert(?)...
