BUMP

Today was the highest traffic day on our site in a month.

We've determined this was based in large part due to several factors...

1. Kelly's boobs... yes also a little of her brain. She was farked and they love her (but mostly her boobs):

Throughout the day she received about 10 friend requests per hour on myspace, while it seems her boobs were discussed somewhere between 75 and 150 times per hour (see Fark thread)

2. Kelly's boobs. No... the other Kelly. Our model friend who posed for the google ad shot was hit hard today as well. Thanks so much to the few people who donated which it seems all came off of myspace.

3. Sexo Grammaticus. Are you sensing a theme here? His name just oozes sex. His response to Dr. Roger Olson hit the homepage of Digg for a few minutes (I think). It was our highest count "landing page" of the day aside from the homepage.  Digg his post here.

Rational advertising... don't be scared of sex.

I'm really happy that you like us so much, but what kind of drugs are you on? Seriously, it's ok--I won't judge you. I just want to know what to watch out for. O_O

1pm - Hi Kelly. Can I get a spanking ! Hee Hee.

Sorry, my evening beer drinking has gotten up to a 12 pk, throw in a bong hit and I'm way silly. Hell I'm writting this hung over. I was up till 6 am with you rascals. Most of my posts I write gigling while the guys are jamming in my studio house. It's pretty wild around here in the evenings.

I need a breathalyzer hooked up to this pc. I get so happy drunk and think I'm being cleaver. You know the story. I was about to rewrite that last post but a customer showed up. I do vw engine building here in my garage. Sober of course !

It is getting old facing myself the next day in print, thats for the edit button. Writting and chat rooms are new to young me. I'm 56. Geez, stumbling across me in google freaked me out, the whole world knows I'm a nut ! One of my e names is axenut. axe = guitar.

Anyhow, Please do delete any of my rants as you see fit, like this one unrelated to the OP. I wouldn't want to be encouraging nonsense from others.

I should to be a paying member soon, and will try to behave. How to change my rrs blog name? which I made up without any forethought regarding rrs tradition. Looks like I'm grand standing, and all CAPS, but it does say alot about me. I was surprized by the reaction of my fellow atheists. The west really ain't got no east ..... I try to write cool aphorisms, like Mark Twain, I'm just not much good at it .....

Always an rrs fan, thanks.

((( uhh ohh, I just cracked my first beer ...5:47 pm, I will think before I post, what me think ....

Thanks for the generous contributions folks. Thanks very much to the $400 donor.

A slightly different chart this time...

We've had to scale back on the ads in the last few days due to the fact that so many users have been coming from other sources. The site has been glitchy and overhauls are being worked on.

It's time to donate to ads again guys... RRS bank account is all square with it's users and prepared to go in the red... please contribute to help out.

Total cost: $1,000+

Please keep the donations coming. That's $300+ in advertising a month... should we keep it up?

We're reducing it to less than half of that for now. And waiting for the donations to decide how to distribute it out.

Thanks so much for the past support.

We're up to $1,100 in ads, and in the hole on the project.  If we pulled ads back to 0, we'd be ranked about 26,000 in the world, past that it's up to us to advertise to get more views.  Our site is currently advertised primarily on atheist sites and therefore helps monetize the rest of the community.

 Please help cover us in this win win scenario and donate for more advertising.  We're gonna start at about $9 a day with the new server, that's near $300 per month.  

$300 worth of *BUMP*

Thanks Darth you rock.

 For the audience, as of today even with Darths donation we are still about $400 behind on this project.  We are currently at a $25 per day rate but will cut it soon if we don't get more support for this.  Please donate to help spread the word.  I'll post a print screen in a follow up post.

   THANK YOU, COOL, need 300,000,000  more, small change, big progress.

, there must be a "list" of rich atheists that could be contacted some way ?

, the blank post of mine above was about this.

Hey the TV evangelists do it , and lie about atheist jesus philosophy .....  

This week because we initially hoped to have site upgrades working by today we had a few ads run in print newspapers through google ads. We've found a few surprisingly cheap ads, the ad below ran in the Louisiana Bastrop Daily Enterprise, Church Section. We didn't plan the juxtaposition of ads below but we love it...

Paper: "The popularity of religion as a whole may be in a slight decline here in America, but that certainly doesn't mean the Holy Book's reputation as being a perennial No. 1..."

RRS: "Religion is divisive and dangerous, it's time for us to stand up to it!"

We have been heard!

Support the Rational Response Squad advertising campaign. This ad cost $8 for 6,000 readers.

  I must say to all of YOU that love the RRS,

Just becoming a $3 a month Bronze member would be huge help, as there are so many of you.

Just do it , or stay in HELL !    We could fix the TV too.

Should be 5 bucks btw , Make RRS rich, fuck the present RICH church.

 It's WAR, in the name of LOVE,  but you are free to do nothing at anytime .... 

Be a RRS member NOW .... for the kids kids ....

LOUDER !

Thanks for the help folks, we're getting near the point where I need to slow down the amount we invest per day if we don't get a bump.  We spent $100 on outside advertising (that I'm not gonna advertise) :P  Therefore the total spent is closer to $1,469.
