Boiler Com & AdSense

Hi everyone! This week has been busy. I am definitely counting down until October Break, haha! I am in Boiler Communications, a student-run public relations firm. My group and I just met with our client and were discussing ways to publicize his organization and events. Our client is Nameless Creek Youth Camp (located in Greenfield, IN). We are in the process of planning a Tailgate Event which is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, November 7th. We will have a 3-on-3 sand volleyball tournament, food, games, cornhole, and many other activities. We are hoping to attract Purdue students, high school students, local residents, and many other groups. Anyway, I volunteered to create a Facebook and/or Twitter page which I am really excited about. I have my own Twitter account that I created last Spring, but I never completely understood the point of it. For the organization, I think it will work a whole lot better for gaining publicity and that sort of thing, so I am anxious to get it started. The Facebook account will be fun as well. Our client just mentioned how helpful technology can be. Passing out flyers and putting ads in newspapers still helps, but creating a Facebook event and updating with 'Tweets' will definitely help get the word out about our event. Stay tuned for more info about the event!

I have also been reading about Google AdSense. My fiance is creating a website and was talking to me about AdSense and how it works. It's pretty interesting because basically, AdSense chooses ads to display on your site and it will generate revenue on a per-click basis. I'm excited to see how it will work out. The trick is creating a website that will be unique and appealing to internet users so that the site will see a lot of traffic. It sounds like a great way to make some extra cash! It seems like Google has just thought of everything. Like what we discussed in class on Monday about how you can acccess documents through Google docs...pretty cool!

Well, that's all for today. :)
