Traffic Building Experiment

Traffic Building Experiment - Ted Kosmatka

A really good friend of mine Ted Kosmatka is a science fiction author. He has been very successful the last year and is really building momentum in the writing industry. He has had several short stories published in Asimov's Science Fiction and has another one coming out in the September issue coming out around the end of July or first of August. He also has 2 other stories that have been picked up for publication and will be available in the coming months.

I decided to do a little experiment to help him build more traffic coming up to the release of his story, The Prophet of Flores, in the upcoming Asimov's. I have added his tag to my ViralTags matrix as the first step. I also would like for many of you to add a link to his site using this link Ted Kosmatka.

If anyone deserves to make a living doing what they love Ted does. Let us all get together and give him a bit of a boost in his drive to turn his passion for writing into a lifelong career. I know if you visit his site and read his stuff you will not be disappointed. Thank you all for your participation and I will be posting updates on the experiment here to let you all know how it is going.

later all and have a profitable and productive blogging day

What the F Does the C Stand 4

I know all of you have been waiting with baited breathe for my first contest. Well we are taking the plunge together. Here is the chance for all of you to win something for doing almost nothing. Hopefully you won't think this Contest is full of Sh-t . For many many years I have had the "nickname," I guess you could call it, of Cman. Here lately, probably due in part to #10 in my 10 Reasons John Chow Probably Thinks This Blog Is About Him article, I have been getting asked more and more what the C in Cman stands for. Herein lays the focus of this contest. For the person who can guess what the C in Cman stands for I will give them $100. If multiple people guess correctly the winner will be chosen by random drawing from among the correct entries. If no one guesses correctly I will randomly pick from all entries and will award the winner of the losers $20. Clarification: 1. In the words of Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, "There can be only One." Winner that is. E...

The Stripping Aristologist Contest Winner

Well as you can see from the above screen capture the winning entry is #5. Heading over to the contest post and looking through the comments and the trackbacks I found that Anton of Link Right Contests was entry #5 with his guess of Julia Child. The actual answer was incorrect so he won the $50 but not the bonus prize. I was a bit generous to 2 entries that commented and entered but did not give the link. I had to search their blog to find the answer. There were several that commented and gave a link to their blog but I could not find a post about the contest or any links back to this blog. Anywho....Congrats to Anton and thank you all so much for reading and taking the time to interact with this blog and really make it what it is. Oh and Anton you might want to consider some kind of Contact Me link for your blog. Other than trackback to your post and a comment I have no way to contact you regarding your winning entry. Having a Contact Me is one of the first things any blogger should ...
