We all love attention, but what if that attention translated into being mentioned on popular news sites? It really did happen and I was very surprised. On April Fools Day we served up our own spoof in an article called “Microsoft Buys Yahoo“. The article link was featured on CBS and CNet, with other blogs and websites that also had their own spoofs.
It certainly felt good to be mentioned on both of these popular sites and I hope other articles we write will get the same attention. The web traffic we received that day was incredible! We had thousands of visitors in a three hour span from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM, but the traffic was still coming throughout the entire day and evening.
I am a big fan of CNet for both news and reviews. I visit daily to get the latest buzz in the tech sector. I also make decisions on purchases based on CNet’s product reviews.
This really motivates me more to learn and to help my friends and fans. I hope that one day we become featured in the Sci/Tech section at Google News.

Kristi,
I was pretty excited about it, but wished it was another article I authored, but it’s a start.
