Noaspa News - 08.09.2010

Progress Report

Six weeks ago the search term "Noaspa" produced less than 100 results. This morning it produced 5,750. It's a reasonable start but the number needs to get a lot bigger if this new aspartame awareness campaign is going to become a successful one !

Obviously, as with any such campaign ( or blog for that matter), there is a need to develop a good strategy and this will be the subject of a post either here or on Famous Bloggers in the near future. The idea is to present the current strategy to all noaspa members - and hopefully make some dramatic improvements with the help of their feedback, innovative ideas and internet marketing experience.
