Many years ago, at a dot com I used to live at, I was stalked by coffee. It wasn’t just me, the entire community was stalked by Millstone coffee. There was a great free offer from Millstone and everyone was thrilled by that ad. Until the ad banners turned into pop up ads. Then we were not so thrilled. The ad banners and pop up ads were on every page of the site – every time you changed pages, you’d get another one. We were STALKED by Millstone coffee and we did not like it. We quickly went from being in love with Millstone for the free offer to calling for a boycott of Millstone.
Flash forward 10 years and I’m being stalked by coffee. Again. But this time I’m not calling for a boycott.
Juan Valdez has a great contest being advertised on BlogHer. Cool. Besides being on BlogHer, the Juan Valdez ad is on blogs all over the internet because of the awesome folks at BlogHer Ads. Cool.
So I expect to see a lot of Juan Valdez when I’m reading blogs. I did not expect to see Juan Valdez when I read my Juno webmail (the account attached to my homeschool blog comments). Nor did I expect to see Juan Valdez when I checked out About.com’s brand new weight loss product, Calorie Count Plus (which by the way looks fantastic and could easily give some of the more popular – or less popular – diet tools a run for their money.) I also did not expect to see Juan Valdez when I was surfing online newspapers for women blogging health for said newspapers.
Juan Valdez is everywhere I am. Stalked. Again.
Lol. I was stalked by Randolph Macon Women’s college for about 3 years. They didn’t send a single flier to my sister.
In a scarier move, I was also stalked by Pensacola Christian…the opposite end of the spectrum.
I’m glad you’re being stalked by something happy.
P.S. Could you perhaps change my link in the “new discoveries” section to http://mrsmicah.wordpress.com? I’m moving my blog over. (and thanks for the link!)
