I confess that I'm a total sucker for a good domain name! Grape Jelly?
The other day, while minding my own business, and not bothering anyone, a program I rely on was being persnickety and not doing like I asked. It's a keyword program I use to explore and define great keywords for pages.
Anyway, the darn thing was acting up, so I decided to make a test. I threw in the first thing that came to my mind, which was...grape jelly.
Sure enough, that word was making the program hum along just fine. In the process, I noticed that there wasn't a whole lot of competition for the word. Hmmn! Grape jelly is like cat and mouse and mustard and ketchup. Everybody knows grape jelly.
Not expecting much, I went to see if the domain name was taken. To my utter surprise, GrapeJelly.org was available! I pounced on it and now I own it.
Ha. Ok, so now what do I do with it? Hmmn! Well, not knowing a whole lot about grape jelly, other than I like it a lot, I went about some research and one thing led to another.
I sat down to compose an article about grape jelly. It was harder than I expected. After all, there is only so much you can say about grape jelly, and most of that has already been said.
So, just for plain doggone fun, I took the grape jelly theme and flipped it around a quarter turn. The result as a LOT of fun! The result? How about Grape Jelly Meets The Twilight Zone?
The serious object of the exercise is to come up with a website that is popular and will generate traffic. The folks who find GrapeJelly.org, in turn, it is hoped, will click on the paid advertising, generating a little income.
The website is finished, more or less. It will still get tweaked from time to time, but it's basically done. I present for you amusement and confundity... GRAPEJELLY.ORG! Click the link for some great grape jelly deliciousness!
I must tell you that developing a website geared for national traffic is a LOT HARDER than building one for local traffic....that is, if it works. A site built for the region hereabouts is much easier to be made successful, if you know what you're doing. And, (scruffing fingernails on shirt, blowing on them... inspecting results) I do...
If you have a couple of minutes, and absolutely nothing better to do, visit GrapeJelly.org. I'll guarantee that you'll never look at grape jelly the same, ever again.
Oh...btw, the site has been active for maybe a week or so, in development. If you go and type in "grape jelly" into Google and Yahoo, as of this writing,you'll find it on PAGE ONE!!! That's not by accident!
