So we've talked about how to drive more traffic to HOH and I have done the basic, easy & free stuff already. I toyed with a Google Ad, but finally the light bulb in my head lit up (roughly 3 watts, so don't expect brilliance here!): I'm already paying for a Google AD on my commerce site, so why the hell don't I just put a banner style ad up there? I'm getting lots of traffic on the site...in the last 30 days, I've had over 76,000 page views and I'm averaging about 200 unique visitors each day as reported by Weebly (my host). Not too bad for a hobby site! Anyhow, Weebly's templates don't work too well with a banner ad at the top of the page, but the footer works great, so that's what I did. I took the "logo" of HOH, did some basic editing in Paint and created an ad that appears at the bottom of each page on my website. It's clickable and the link takes the clicker directly to the main page of HOH. Take a look when you get a chance and see what you think...as always, I'm open to suggestions, especially on the text of the ad. www.leonschainsawpartsandrepair.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html

Great idea Leon, however, the font is difficult to read, whether it be the size or color. To me anyway....

Is that via mobile device?

I have a mobile device preview on my editor and I see what you mean. The font is pure white and looks great on my desktop, but in my preview mode it still looks a bit goofy. I did up-size it one level (about as big as I can go go), so let me know if that makes a difference.

Geez Leon, I think that claim of only 3 watts is off by about 100 times! What you have there is brilliant (pun intended).
Your site has really gotten a lot better lately too, I think HoH is rubbing off on you, he, he. :{)

Well it looks nothing like that on a damned computer! I'll try fiddling with it, but it seems that the mobile formats are less customizable.
