Yes, you got it. So, then we both agree Micah's questions were in line
with the guidelines of the forum.
Micah... deciding to buy Google adwords is entirely dependent on the
demographic you are trying to reach. We've done this in the past, and
it worked far better than our direct mail, billboard, and newspaper
ads. But, our demographic was very much in line with using the net,
and Goggle, to find what they were looking for.
We were appealing to fixed wireless, broadband seeking customers... we
got far more inquiries for our service through the search engines than
any other medium.
Is your demographic prone to using these tools to search for things?
Have you considered adspace in publications from the university and
local community?

You have to be kidding?
Micah is using the ISP Marketing forum to ask a marketing/advertising
question. He's throwing his ideas to his peers on this list and
seeking feedback.
What else would we use this forum for?
Maybe you should spend more time being constructive and providing
meaningful feedback.

Some people can't see the forest through the trees. Micah is thinking
about launching an ISP based on a market niche. What's wrong with him
asking for advice on the portal page for that possible launch? If the
NHL launched a league sponsored ISP where you could brand the service
and your email for your favorite team, they'd sign up a good number of
subs. They would also have a good deal of loyalty. I've tried to
take this idea to the Atlanta Braves before, but they're a tough nut
to crack. You have to deal with MLB.
Good thoughts Micah. I think the site looks clean. Go Thrashers!

The Carolina hurricanes website has nothing to do with this email
list. This is plain spam.

Subject: [isp-marketing] Promoting a new web site
Hello all,
I am trying to promote a new fan site and am looking for any
suggestions. There are a couple sites out there that compete with me,
but I believe mine stands out a little more based on it's non-generic
news content. Anyways, anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking
about buying google adwords since there is only one ad when you type
in Carolina Hurricanes. Anyone used this in the past? $5 setup fee
and you pick how much you want to pay per click, $0.05 to $5.00 Since
there is only one ad now, I could pick $0.05 and do ok. What do you
think?
My site: http://www.caniacfans.com
Main competitor: http://www.letsgocanes.com
Thanks,
Micah
