Gunter’s List Of US Made Products
July 18th, 2013
‘Gunter’s List of US Made Products’ is a list of 3300 companies that make products in the USA. For each entry there is an indicator stating if all or some of their product line is made in the USA, whether they’re domestic or foreign owned, and a link to their website. A content bar lists all the available categories and subcategories making navigation simple. Understandably, there’s a fair number of tactical gear, clothing, and firearms companies on the list, although the hundreds of other companies offering US-made products are also worth a look.

I Know You Guys Are Better Than This
July 18th, 2013According to Moz.com, the headline makes the message. And by the way I notice that folks on Facebook read a headline and seem to magically know something about the content of a link, there is definitely something to this. Here are a couple of takeaways from their story because few of you will actually go read their story.
-Explosion in content competing for readers’ attention: A Day in the Internet shows that 2 million blog posts, 294 billion emails, and 864 thousand hours of video are created daily. Each day also brings 400 million tweets.
-80% of readers never make it past the headline: According to some sources, on average, eight out of 10 people will read headline copy, but only two out of 10 will read the rest.
Now look at this chart. They say that “list” stories draw the most attention. Cracked.com has built an empire on lists. So apparently, the interwebs has come down to two dominant themes: porn and lists of stupid things. But, I know you guys are better than this aren’t you? Otherwise, I wouldn’t be the King of Tactical Media. So tell me I’m right and this is utter BS or do I have to start putting up fake formulaic headlines to drive traffic?
