Buy now, very quickly. It's cheap enough.

Then post, post, post, post, post, post, post! Toejam! Obscure but valuable superheroes! An apple microsoftened in the pot of a cannibal's stew! Post post post POST. Create many links on high-profile blogs and websites. Watch as stock climbs higher. Sponsor an SHP dinner. Go running onto a field while a high-profile baseball game is in progress, wearing only a loincloth on which the enigmatic words Sierra Help! dot com are written!

Smile as the stock price goes crazy.

Sell.

What would posses you to say Toejam without mentioning Earl?

It is now over $100, double what I paid for the hosting an domain registration. The stats are steadily climbing. The Alexa Ranking is now over 19,000,000. Last week it was in the trillions. The Google pages is at 790, higher than tawmis.com. Not getting anywhere with Yahoo or Compete.com. Not bad for a little less than a month on its own domain.

Hey, tawmis.com still is worth far more than SHP.

Not surprising. No one comes to tawmis.com unless they're googling something else entirely... since my site really had nothing for the general public, till I hosted SHP on there for you. :)

The main thing is the forum. Then there's pages about an obscure X-Men (Adam-X), an obscure game (Toejam and Earl), and a defunct game/company (Sir-Tech, Wizardry 8...) so really, no surprise I don't rate high on google (or any search engine) that isn't Sierra related. Of course, search engines/bots crawl the forums - which has Sierra stuff mentioned, even before SHP... but it's clear that google is still seeing SHP pages.

SHP is now at $1,994.63. Even though this doesn't really mean anything, I plugged in the other Sierra sites to see where they now stand. If nothing else, it is a measure of the traffic they see.
sierraplanet.com			$19,685.75
forum.spacequest.net			$17,225.27
questformoreglory.com			$11,946.35
gabrielknight4campaign.com		 $7,144.60
sierrahelp.com				 $1,996.38
sierraforums.com			   $304.20
sierrachest.com				   $207.62
larrylaffer.net				    $60.18
Andrea's PQ site (URL to be announced)	    $46.00
I almost didn't include the NOLF forum, since it is just a small part of a much larger non-Sierra site.
sficlan.net				$14,038.92
01000010 01111001 01110100 01100101 00100000 01101101 01100101 00100001
