Ok guys, time to give you a heads up on a little idea we've been kicking around that is going to launch starting August 1st. As those of you who have blogs yourself know, maintaining readership is a big part of why we do what we do. The Inside Out team wants to share our experiences, opinions, thoughts and ideas with anyone of will listen, but we also want you guys (and gals) to leave us your thoughts as well. To be honest, you guys need to step it up! I know you have comments that just want to be let out and shared, so in order to give you a little nudge towards doing so, we will be giving away an outdoors related item at the end of each month (I know I have shared all of this info before, but it's been a while). Basically, leave a comment and get your named entered into the drawing, with a maximum of 4 entries per month. Come the last day of the month, we'll put all the entries in a hat and whoever we pull out will be getting a sharp knife, new grunt call, pack of broadheads or maybe even a camelback daypack to use the rest of their lives! Now are you gonna leave us a comment?

It would be nice to see prior versions of your show. I was interested in watching your show when you hunted with Dennis Harris.

To increase traffic, you should setup a Facebook page. There seems to be lots of "Inside Out" themes our there so you'll be fighting for name recognition. I would also recommend advertising thru Google or Bing; that way when someone does an internet search based on hunting; your website link would be displayed.

Another thing you could do is to have your website administrator modify your keywords search to be more specific. Search engines use web bots to read the keywords and use those to setup their search engine database. Your current words are vague:

<meta name='keywords' content='Inside Out, Outdoors, Hiking, Hunting, Fishing, Conservation' />

Hey Jay, thanks for the comments and suggestions! We haven't started the show yet as we were just getting out feet wet last year filming, so you must be thinking of another show (I know I saw an Inside Outdoors TV Show on the Outdoor Channel the other night, so that is probably where the confusion is). This year we are approaching it with more passion and much more serious with a goal of 5 episodes. I actually spoke with my partner in all of this, Paul, about the Facebook page in an email this morning so you read my mind! As for the name recognition, you are right, it is an uphill battle but my thoughts are the cream rises to the top, plus our show name is not based on our "company" name at all. It is simply called "Public". We do all of the website stuff in house (Paul much more than me, so I am sure he'll respond back as well about this) and can change keywords at the drop of a hat. We are on Google Analytics as well as a ping service, but are trying to come up with more ways to increase traffic, so we will look into actually advertising through Google and Bing if the monetary commitment isn't high.

Jay and Steven thanks for your comments! We are very happy that you have enjoyed the site so far! We are working daily to improve the design and the content.

Any feedback that you have is more than welcome. We are in the process of creating a Facebook page so that we can advertise the blog on facebook more easily. Advertising is one of our next steps, with only two of us currently writing content and doing the site administration we are improving piece by piece.

We will take your advice to update the keywords to be more specific to help us on some search engines, however it is unfortunate that many of the popular search engines ( Google for one ) does not really take these into account when indexing pages, but since some do we should update to ensure we get as much traffic as possible...again thanks for the advice!!!!

Please let us know if you see anything that you think will make the site better, more user friendly, or even some content that you would like to see.

Thanks for reading!!!!
