awsome. I am really happy and humbled. I am going to dump a few hundred into my site for upgrades and stuff before the march date it goes live.
I got about 3,000 uniques. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=35476&highlight=cool+site+of+the+day
Congratulations! Did you happen to be one of the people that submitted when it was free, I believe there was a post here in the forums about it.
Im not sure. I submitted it like 1-2 months ago. Never saw anything about a fee. One of the guys called me a couple weeks ago trying to sell his secure scan thingy but I declined to buy it. If there is a fee I would be happy to pay it =D
You got selected for cool site of the day? Wow - that's not bad! Where did you get selected? Who selected you? I've seen sites where other sites are nominated as being cool, but I've never seen a site which selects people as cool site. That's really good - well done. Is your site cool too? MCS x
Last months stats, I got selected for the 18th: - http://www.coolsiteoftheday.com/frmindex.html 2777 - http://www.coolsiteoftheday.com/cgi-bin/stillcool.pl 1490 I still get traffic from the archives.
That's in line with what I recieved as well, for two separate sites. Theirs also some other website that sends traffic from Cool Site of the Day. Can't remember the name, have to check logs... either way it's been about 2 months and the traffic tally is around 6k per site and still getting 50 uniques a day from them.
I would rather not say until after it has been posted. >=] I dont want anyone that hates me to try and keep it form being the cool site of the day. Don't mind me, I am just paranoid.
HA HA I went thru the archive and found this: Tattoo someone's butt: http://www.jennicartoon.com/games/tattoo.html
Did you get accepted for Cool Site, or just get a call from the Cool Site marketers telling you you qualify for that secure site service for a month? A couple of weeks ago, someone posted in this forum that Cool Site was taking "free" applications to be named a Cool Site. I wrote them and applied. They called and told me I qualified for 1 month of their secure site service...complete with a website seal. (Just what we need...another seal for big bucks!)They call almost every other day trying to sell it to me after the free 30 days. Whenever I ask about being accepted as a Cool Site (since that's what I was really applying for), they say...."Uh...someone else will get back to you on this." What a farce! Seems they did this to try and get customers for their website seal business. I have lost any respect I had for Cool Site. Jim
No, I didnt pay for any service or pay any fee. I got the email that says: "Congratulations! We are pleased to announce the selection of www.mydomain.com by Cool Site of the Day as our featured Cool Site on March XX, 2006. Please be advised that this is likely to increase traffic to Testmessage.cc significantly." And it goes on blah blah blah... I wrote back and thanked them. It's very humbling. It really makes me feel good!
