We has a banner

Would the URL on the banner stop you from looking up the site?

i vote against. Unless the banner was at a socialist event, there’s a 90% chance I’d google it.

heh – perhaps.

In any event, my feedback (and I’m not sure if you were soliciting any, John) is that Banner v2 should contain the website addy 🙂

Some of us are more easily excited than others it appears.

To expand ones knowledge?

Sure. Maybe it’s because I already know RA, but seeing a banner saying nothing but “RiotACT” wouldn’t exactly excite my curiosity.

Reminds me of this article – http://www.rankforsales.com/news-ba/764-seo-sep-10-04.html

Your powers of deduction amaze me.

Ah, That Cameron.

My point is this – anyone who has no earthly idea what RiotACT is might see this banner somewhere and ponder its meaning – but to go home and Google a banner you know zero about? That’s very different from Googling a potential sporting club for your children.

In any event, I like the banner. I should.

Googling ‘riot act’ brings up this site as the first result, so I think the URL is redundant. Anyone who cares enough to want to find out more will happily Google.

My answer to everything is “Google it”.

And of course JB didn’t get Stanhope to fund it as a “public artwork”, that would just invite Pratt (by name, by nature) to come and destroy it in an effort to clean it up, or something.

blah blah blah I just got back from holidays…

I Google stuff all the time to find out more info, so why not a banner ?

Really? How often do you Google banners you see at events?

quite often actually. i.e. You see a sporting club you want your kids to join, the first thing I do is ‘google’ the club name.

Should chuck the URL on there JB…

Good point, should absolutely have the URL there. Anyone who knows what RA is will see the banner and think “cool”, whereas anyone at the event that has never heard of it will think “WTF is this RiotACT?”.

The URL would be good. Otherwise some people might be motivated enough to go home and Google it.

I can see it now….under cover of night JB and Jazz sneaking up to the big house on the Hill and as dawn breaks the Riotact banner flying proudly on the flagpole 🙂

There’d be a standoff, two cats frozen on tip toe, hair on end, ears back, glaring at each other.

If you hang it outside vg’s house old Jimbo’ll get a bit of a shock ….

: )

Problem is you might make it easier for people like Jimbo to find out where you live haha.

Any event that doesn’t like having our banner up is self-evidently inferior.

In fact they can suck our balls.

all the best events ? uh huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Are you ever going to have anything good to say RS?

If not dare I say it reflects more on you than us.

I wonder who’ll be the first to steal it?

Why, to try hard?

If you guys ever want to rid yourselves of the horror of that bloody Arial black, please give me a call. 😉

It looks really good! (I love my pin BTW).

: )

Sweet…

Did you ask Stanhope if he would fund the banner as a public artwork?

all the best events ? uh huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
