We'll see what results I get.

If that doesn't work out too well try using a couple of hot chicks (not chickens) to hold the signs...

I like the graphics btw.

I think eyes would be more focused on tits then a sign. With a chicken, the passerby is at least thinking "what is he promoting?"

exactly.. Focus their attention on what YOU want them to see and not eye candy that distracts them from the thing you want them to see.

You read my mind. Besides, woman tend to cost more. I only have to pay this guy min wage.

I wouldn't categorize my site as porn, but rated M.

The police did drive by... said nothing.

ok cool.. yeah it prolly also depends on where you are. In Phoenix you could prolly do it and no would ever bat a eye at it but in Indiana where I grew up there would be 4 squad cars at your corner in ten mins

Nothing will happen unless somebody complains about it or if somebody figures out what it is. With a broad name... who is to know the difference?

Some places require a permit.

Creative stuff like that gets traffic.

[pamon]

[Vitasoy]

[kmanrox]

I thought about handing out biz cards with ccbill revshare links once but the urls were too long and I didn't think i would get the type in

Try making a domain redirect, like www.earnextracash.com, that will take them to the longer URL.

I posted a few months ago asking about the font and people here said they liked it.

All of your lights in your town are side-ways. Should probably have someone fix that.

Well, traffic is up to the site for the day... more than normal. But google analytics doesn't show any improvements geographically for the area.

i like it for a logo.. but not for something to get people to remember when they're driving past in their car.. i mean, you run into the branding issue.. but as far as getting traffic i'd have opted to go with a totally easy font... like the font on your logo makes your eyes/brain think for a split second what you're looking at because it's a bit more complex a font than say arial or new times roman. i like the idea though

We use girls in tight tees & shorts at local college sports venues to promote. Results have always exceeded our investment. They are also handing out flyers or swag so the approach is a little different.

yeah but not about to clutter my cash program up with a million folders on the main index as i use this for every link in my resource page.. to me it's not about making it the shortest but just getting rid of the ccbill code.. and for webmaster urls getting rid of the chance to copy and paste and remove my id by just going to the base url

Yes, I understand. But I'm going to use the logo cause branding is what I want and the logo gets attention cause it's funny. I've done my research on this before and the mascot gets the most reactions than not using it.

As for the font, I'll look into using something else. These are cars not driving by, but stopped at red lights for minutes on end. He is standing out during rush hour, when cars are bumper to bumper and backed up at least a dozen or more car lengths.

You don't need folders. I have a wildcard DNS entry the domain and use apache to point to a single script that redirects the traffic. Here is an example I use for sites like twitter when I want a really short url...
