Happy Birthday HometownQuotes!

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008
Today we turn 4 years old!

It is hard to believe that we have only been around for 4 years.

We have grown so fast and I can truly say that each and every day has been exciting and fun.  I am surrounded by the most amazing people on the planet and it has been the greatest blessing to work with these people.

To our affiliates, you guys are remarkable!  Many of our affiliates joined our team at a time when they did not have to.  Like many of our employees, you turned down better offers to stay a part of our family…and you are truly that, a part of our family.

Thank you to everyone for believing in us and being a part of this ride.

New Landing Pages All Month Long!

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Throughout the next 30 days, we are launching quite a few new landing pages. We originally were going to save them for September, but as usual, I was pretty excited about it, so I am doing so a few days early.

Currently, we have added 5 new landing pages and plan to add between 5 and 20 (depending on the conversion testing in September) in the next 30 days.

You can check out the new pages here

And of course by logging in and creating new links to the new pages.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Have a great Labor Day weekend!

The Red Sox game was awesome! Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays was pretty awesome. I did not think I would like indoor baseball, but it was not bad. There were 33,100 people there and I would guess about 20,000 of them were Sox fans, which was kind of cool. Here are some pictures from last night. More to come later!

Kevin Youkilis hits a 3-run homer to give the Sox the lead!
