4x times? Wow…that really says a lot about the value and return of a local focus!

I gotta keep that in mind in case I ever pitch the idea of advertising on DM to local business owners. 4x the clicks for 1/2 the price of an AJC online ad! (or something…you can see I haven’t really thought this through)

Actually the AJC was alerted through another source. But the Decatur Metro blog generated 4x the hits to candyvote.com than the AJC article. And while I really liked the article in the AJC, it has been so fun reading the interactive comments of my Decatur neighbors. Decatur Metro has been super supportive as has the entire community!

Seriously, the AJC sucks for stealing stories from community members' blogs and not giving due credit. I am glad you are keeping count.

Poor kid… in a place like Decatur, his costume is going to be pretty lopsided by the time all the candy is handed out! He’ll probably need a spinal adjustment the next day!

Just kiddin! Have fun Moey – awesome idea!
