comScore Scores on SnuggieSightings.com
Sarah Radwanick with comScore, lounging in a Snuggie. Where is the complimentary booklight?
So I ran across an excellent article by Sarah Radwanick on comscore.com. She covers the popularity of the Snuggie, and is cool enough to be pictured reading and typing on a laptop at the same time. Sarah could not do this in a soul-crushing, restrictive blanket.
What drew me to your article Sarah (she will find this of interest, from a comScore-ish perspective) was a Google Alert that triggered for the term “Celebrity Snuggie Sightings”. Although she didn’t point to this post about the Today Show Snuggie Sightings, I was jazzed over this particular word choice “Snuggie Sightings” in her article. It was of interest to me because back on January 10 when I had the idea for this site, I performed a search on Google for the term “Snuggie Sighting” and there was Nada. To see this term being used out in the jet stream of our culture is kind of cool.
Thanks, Sarah, for letting me post your pic. I’m tagging this as a “Celebrity Snuggie Sighting” so when someone searches in the future, you’ll be right up there with Al Roker. Awesome. And seriously, great article (I’m way into Search Marketing). And just so you know, Sarah, since this site’s inception, traffic from Search Engines has been 14.52% (I am surprised by how low this is). And yes, I’m totally trying to get Sarah to write about my site, because 46.42% of my traffic comes from referring sites.
John Keller Needs a Snuggie
… and then there’s this from the ATTRIBUTION FAIL file…
So, I ran across this lovely Snuggie hit piece by John Keller from WBZ. This aired on January 28, 2009. He shows a quick shot of SnuggieSightings.com and our very own Bridget at 1:35 in the video, but he doesn’t mention the site. What’s up with that? He mentions the Snuggie Drinking Game, but sums it up with “Don’t Ask”.
Don't Blink. We appear at 1:35 in the video. And please don't click here. This is an image. This is not the video. I will be able to tell how many people click on this image, thinking it is the video, trying to play it. Don't be one of those people. The video is down yonder. (NOTE TO SELF: first time to use 'yonder' on this site...will not be last, unless hit by bus).
Note to John Keller: If USA Today can mention SnuggieSightings.com (which their article ran the day before your news report. Gee, I wonder where you got your source material for this piece? I’m smelling a News Emmy, John), surely you can say these words. Repeat after me: ‘SNUGGIE SIGHTINGS DOT COM’ (then again, he did not attribute USA Today either…moving on…)
Being a good sport, I will now reference the source material. Be sure to check us out somewhere between 1:35 to 1:36 in this video. I feel like Navin R. Johnson after the new phonebook arrived. With exposure like this, there’s nothing holding back SnuggieSightings.com now! Wahoo! Man, am I pumped! Roll Tape!
