It's surprising what you can learn from other peoples sites/forums if you keep your eyes open and think outside the box.

Recently I PM'd Glen and he showed me one of his other Forums. I was looking around it when suddenly the penny dropped!!

One of the posts was simply entitled JOKES where we were invited to Share a laugh and a chuckle!

It hit me like a ton of bricks. Why don't I do that on my Irish Blog after all 'Irishman' jokes are popular the world over.

So very quickly I nipped over to Google - Googled 'Irish Jokes,' and in no time at all I had the makings of an ongoing post, something I can update on an almost daily basis without much bother!!

Visit the site to see what I mean. Now if you do happen to point your browser and you have a favourite Irish Joke you'd like to share feel free

As I said in the opening keep your eyes open, watch what others are doing and see if you can apply what they are doing to your site

To encourage you to visit My Irish Blog here's a taster:

THE CARDINAL AND THE FROG

A newly appointed Cardinal was walking the gardens of the Vatican by a sad stream when he noticed a sad looking frong sitting on a toadstool

“What’s wrong with you?” asked the Cardinal.

“Well,” said the frog, “the reason I am so sad on this fine day is because I wasn’t always a frog.”

“Really!” said the Cardinal. “Can you explain!”

“Once upon a time I was one of the most beautiful women in Rome. I too was walking through this garden when I was confronted by the Devil. ‘Let me pass!’ I yelled, but to no avail. The Devil called me a cheeky little girl and with a flash of his tail, turned me into this frog you see before you.”

“That’s an incredible story” said the Cardinal. “Is there no way of reversing this spell which the Devil has cast upon you?.”

“Yes” said the frog, “It is said, that if a nice kind person would pick me up, take me home, give me food & Warmth and with a good nights sleep would wake up a beautiful maiden again.

“Today’s your lucky day!” said the Cardinal, and picked up the frog and took him home. The Cardinal gave the frog lots of food, placed him by the fire and at bedtime put the frog on the pillow beside him. When the Cardinal awoke, he saw this beautiful women beside him in bed.

Thought I'd like to share this with you.

Since posting the opening thread on the 26th July on this, and similar messages on two other forums, my visitor rate has increased by a factory of 3 - 300%

Now, accepted I'm working from a low(ish) base and the possibility of marketing, or wantabe marketeers, clicking on the adds is small it does go to illistrate that if you advertise your site visitors will come.

By the way if you haven't visited click My Irish Blog and let me know what you think - and if you feel like it post your best Irish Joke

Kevin.

ps I celebrating my county team won the Ulster Senior Football Championship Title yesterday - that's seven times in ten years they've lifted it :P :lol:
