Cool This is so true

Okay, here's a wee update on the smackdown, but it's funny in an ironic-that's-so-true sorta way.

You know how you can have intentions that you think are going to go a ceratin way and then, you act on those intentions ... and of course Murphy's Law steps in to teach you a lesson.

Well, these guys decided to put a slowdown on their project because of all the SEO brawling going on. And you know, that's probably a wise thing to do until dust settles enough to see where you're going.

But where the Murphy's Law entered was when they said they were a little freaked out by all the wild behavior and press the situation got. It wasn't in keeping with their business goals ... so they opted for a slowdown.

What they got was quite the opposite:

According to Andy Jenkins...

Yesterday's email totally BACKFIRED!

Since I sent my "Please, use REASON and LOGIC' email yesterday,
23,961 MORE people have watched the Going Natural Videos brining
the grand total to 332,182. That's 3 times our normal average of
daily views.

And to top it all off, 4,099 new people joined our waiting list
yesterday.

So... Note To Self: Abandon Logic and Reason
I guess a few 5 Star-ers had a peek at all the hoopla, eh?!! So, what we learned from this is that sometimes all the hoppla can actually bring more attention ... it's what you do with it that counts ... yes?!!
