My site is the "Cool Site of the Day"

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by nevetS, Oct 8, 2005.

    I followed in the footsteps of YFS1 and another member here and had my site reviewed for cool site of the day.

    Today is the day that I was selected, so please take a look and vote for me.

    I've been very laxed about putting updated content the last month because yet again I've been very busy, but I did complete one pretty cool little thing - which was partially inspired by yfs1's health age calculator.

    What I did was create a utility that will generate love messages and send them via text message to your significant other's cell phone. Seems a little bit nerdy, but the response that I've seen from my wife and my buddy's wife was pretty cool - a totally unexpected I love you coming from a totally unexpected direction. They both thought it was very sweet and I earned a few points for all these late nights.

    Unfortunately it only works with US carriers for today, but I hope in the next couple days to a week to have international support as well.

    The site is http://www.bkweddings.com, the love-o-matic is at http://www.bkweddings.com/loveomatic.html, and of course you can vote for the site at http://www.coolsiteoftheday.com/frmindex.html

    Thanks guys!

    I sort of blew it early on with not having updated the site in a while, but I have a few new and better articles up there now, along with this utility. I'm hoping the score will round itself up to a six or seven before the day is over. I appreciate all the help! Thanks dct and weirfire!

    Make sure you re do your AdSense code to still work in a frame. Otherwise they change to Computer Related and your CTR goes way down.

    Nice Job!

    That's a good point. For those who do this in the future:

    
    google_page_url = document.location;
    
    PHP:
    Makes it so your ads show up properly when you are doing this. I picked that up from using blog explosion a while back.

    No offense, but I thought I'd bump this up so some more people might notice. :)

    My stat's software is on a different server so I haven't moved the log files over yet, but so far I think it's about 500 visitors above the norm. I had the site reviewed in the beginning of September, and they filled me in on the selection about 3 or 4 weeks ago.

    I took a look at the archives, and about 1/3 of the sites last month had a score of over 6, and only one had a rating higher than 7.

    Right now it's climbing pretty steadily after a rough start this morning, but it'll take some work to get it above seven.

    I really think the residual traffic will be much higher if I can get it over 7 since there aren't a lot of sites rating that high. I found yfs1's site in the archive - which is now a PR4 link - and he made it all the way up to 6.87.
