Selected for ‘Cool Pick of the Day’!

Sunday, August 20th, 2006

Check it out! The Virtual Roadside has been selected as the “Cool Pick of the Day” by http://www.coolpick.com! Thats pretty awesome if you ask me, thanks coolpick!

Now, not only is the site fun and unique, but its also getting a sizable amount of traffic too! If you’re thinking about advertising, now is a great time — think about it, the unique part of this site comes from the sales it generates, and makes people curious about it. So every ad that is sold adds value to the site, because it makes people more likely to stop and look at it. Together, we can make this really big!

Coming soon, going to add Google Checkout to my accepted payments. Stay posted for more news.

New game introduced!

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

Hey! I’m excited to announce the development of a new game for the main page (explosive fun)! Now, you can shoot at your favorite billboards and flying advertisements with paintballs, guns, rockets, and more! Its definitely a step up from before, check it out!

In other news, still keeping that steady stream of traffic… this weekend I am going to write up a press release and put it in the right hands, and see what happens! Also, I may have a potential buyer… we’ll see!

Blow stuff up!

Saturday, August 5th, 2006

I’ve been encouraged by the number of hits on the website so far! Looks like maybe my initial word-of-mouth campaign is working out. I’ve been too busy on school-related projects to do any real advertising, but I figure once I get a few advertisers, then I can get some newspapers to do articles about this site…

Anyways, I’ve added a feature where you can now blow the ads up if you click on the link ‘blow stuff up’. After you enable it, then anytime you click on one of the ads, then it blows up! My roommate has been spending WAY too much time trying to get a higher high score… hehe.

Coming soon — a way where you can upload your own images and use those as ads!
