What a month!
We launched Ecotality Life a little over a month ago and have been really happy to see things take right off. We’ve watched our audience soar with thousands of new readers checking in every day for updates on green business, tech, and investing. Our traffic ratings have kept pace with our healthy growth, finding us the 126,753rd reaching site on the ‘net according to Alexa and the 167,357th most authoritative blog according to Technorati.
That’s not too shabby for a first month, especially when you account our focus on getting our writing team together as a first priority over doing anything to get linked up.
We’re going to start doing some fun stuff to get the word about Ecotality Life out this month. This first promotion is geared for my favorite people in the world- green bloggers.
Write a review about Ecotality Life on your blog and we’ll send you 200 new unique visitors via paid StumbleUpon advertising. Every week we will random pick one of our reviewers and send them 2,000 additional new visitors in the same way. On top of that me and Michael will discover the review into StumbleUpon which could send thousands more in high quality traffic.
The reviews don’t need to be positive, we want to hear your honest opinion of what we’re doing and how we’re doing it. Tell us what you like and what you think we could be doing better.
We have auto searches for mentions of Ecotality Life setup but don’t want to take any chances on missing a review, so if you write up your thoughts on the site, leave a comment here with a link to it.
Let the good times roll.

What a great idea to promote your blog launch! Here’s our Ecotricity Life Review.
Best wishes!
Bah!! the best way to get traffic is to write quality articles. Not some cheap trick like this. And in any case, 200 vistors is too less to motivate me.
Doing promotions like this doesn’t preclude us from writing quality articles. Our content is awesome and this is just a fun little way of getting the word out about our blog. Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out Kaushik.
The best way to get traffic is to announce where the party’s at. Cheers!
You tell him, Shea. He’s wrong anyway. Quality content keeps people coming back — but promotions, contests, etc, are needed to help people FIND the site in the first place.
Your idea is pretty good about getting reviews, and I expect to participate… but your answer to Kaushik (#2 above) was unnecessary and was overkill. If you had stopped before the line “Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out Kaushik.” it would have been a classy reply, and would have disproved what he said.

Good luck in what you do!Great website!
Shea- does Ecotality Life have a place for Answer4Earth somewhere on your site? We created a fun trivia game that helps the environment by generating donations for tree-planting foundations for every correct answer, and feel like you and your site’s visitors would probably be very interested in something like this. Goal for 2008 is 1 million trees, so word just needs to get out- are you able to help? Thanks! - Rob
