    I love game coupons

    I play a lot of Big Fish Games. At least I used to. I’ve been playing Elf bowling but ran out of trial time. So I bought it but make sure to use
    discount code New50.

    It’ s only good on your first game purchase.

    What’s the To Do List

    oracle about the to-do list careful what you put on it.

    it’s lonely being smart I know, I know
    and so good to give it up I know, I know
    all you’ve lived for counts for something more
    you can save it from being thrown out
    on a world smaller then u thought
    the sums added up all wrong
    You got some crazy reasons that it works just right
    Yeah ya gotta love how reason makes it up this way
    you gotta a lot of reasons that it works just right
    yeah you say got some reasons for the stuff you save
    but listen close
    Chorus
    the Vapors consume ya
    the Fluids will doom ya
    what happened to ya
    to do list I betch ya
    What’s the to do list
    Verse
    She wrote in tiny script, her heels were clipped
    stared at my to-do list, wondering what was there
    concerning her and me she was made of steam
    what was on my to do list was “she wonders about my…”
    You got some crazy reasons that it works just right
    Yeah ya gotta love how reason makes it up this way
    you gotta a lot of reasons that it works just right
    yeah you say got some reasons for the stuff you save
    Chorus
    the Vapors consume ya
    the Fluids will doom ya
    what happened to ya
    to do list I betch ya
    What’s the to do list
    What’s the to do list

    You Got Some Reasons

    It’s lonely being smart I know, I know

    and it feels good to give up

    all you lived counts for a lot

    you can save it from being thrown out

    you can love all that junk.

    chorus

    You got some reasons that it works just right

    you got some reasons that it comes this way

    you got some reasons for the stuff you save

    you gotta a reason that it works just right

    The City of Englewood, CO offers  Christmas tree recycling for residents. Recycling your tree saves landfill space and provides a renewable resource, mulch.

    The program runs through January 31, 2011. Englewood residents can drop off their trees at the parks listed below. The trees will be recycled into mulch that will be used in Englewood’s parks. More about Englewood tree recycling.

    I live in Westminster and my tree service has done work for Pebble Brook North which issoff of 90th Ave. just west of Wasworth Blvd, just past the Village Inn.

    I live in the Silo HOA and my property manager, Carolyn, who is a very nice lady,  has hired us to trim trees for Homestead Managment.

    So we just made a website so people can talk about there tree issues. I talked with the city forester Rob when he worked at Westminster as the city forester, and he thought a blog about Westminster trees would be worthwhile.

     

     

     

    Beyond Tomorrow

    Fear is the universal
    Hope is fixed in the eternal

    Beyond tomorrow,
    sideways and out of place
    it could take all your life
    tomorrow

    We are saving money on marketing this year by emphasizing link building and article submission activities instead of pay per click on Google Adwords and leads generated by ServiceMagic.

    We are trying to buy more direct,  in a nutshell.

    Through the first month and half of the year sales are up and Adwords spending is down a 100 percent.  We are starting later in the with Adwords, and gonna do more Microsoft Adcenter and much less on ServiceMagic this year. Overall spend will be down 20% to 30% depending on the economy

    People in the office are not understanding the whole idea of marketing as a revenue generating idea. I don’t blame them, except when I do.

    It is hard to get the idea, that marketing isn’t a complete cost center.

    Affiliate marketing is obvious for us.  Since our dominant channel is search engines and we are producing surplus leads, it only makes sense to start re-selling those opportunities.

    I hope to offset 20 percent (or more ) of our budget this way, in 2011.

    This time of the year, in the tree business, people are in a bad mood because they are broke. Th winter depletes many a tree trimmers bank account. And when they do work its cold.  Or instead of trimming trees that are shoveling and plowing snow, not the favorite work activity for an arborist.

    That shouldn’t cloud your judgment though. People are afraid of  a good process,  hard numbers and straight answers.  I think they realize the power and want to diminish it if they don’t understand something.

    Marketing power is built on systems and process.
