This what thousands and thousands of visitors to one particular web site I frequent are seeing today. With less than a week to go in the month, these guys have run through their quota of hosting bandwidth with their service provider.

One of the things the CHAMP guys really wanted out of their site redesign was a way to get people signed up for their electronic newsletter.

Oh, and they also wanted to start up an electronic newsletter.

I just launched a new site for a friend of mine. Todd's a fellow bike racer. He called me a few weeks ago and said he'd been awarded the state championship race this year. That's a big deal, especially for a race in only it's third year.

I wasn't surprised to hear that news though. Todd had done a great job running Le Tour de Ste. Genevieve Road Race its first two years.

Those of you who know me personally know I work in marketing, but that I have an engineering and technical background.

That probably explains why I enjoy putting all these sites together for people and watching them grow - or to see if they grow. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't; and that's where analytics come in.
