How to spread awareness of this tribute site
Posted by Soren on Aug 19 2007 5:09 PM
Right now the tribute site has approx. 45 visitors daily according to Google Analytics. I don't think that's enough if you consider that The Paul and Young Ron Show has somewhere around 300.000 listeners.
Here's the chart:
I would like to have more P&YR fans to visit this tribute site but how do I accomplish this? The best way would probably be to get a link from paulandyoungron.com, but because of Clear Channel's copyrights and all that stuff we don't necessarily want the attention from "the suits" at Clear Channel. I once wrote Jenners about that and here's the email correspondance:

Hey Jenners
Have you had the time to check out my Paul & Young Ron Tribute Site?
I was wondering if you could put up a link on www.paulandyoungron.com on
the links section. Would that be possible you think?
If so the link would be http://paulandyoungron.hylleonline.dk/
I\'d really appreciate it!!
Have a good one.
Best regards, Soren from Denmark

Soren, this is GREAT! BUT, I can't link you up, and I'll tell you why. The audio you have on that site is all copyright property of Clear Channel... I love that you have it up there, but if I link you to our site and one of the higher-ups sees it they will flip out... they're VERY careful about that stuff, only we are allowed to post and share that audio via our website. Does that make sense? I just don't want you to have to deal with that.
So this is why a link from paulandyoungron.com probably isn't a good idea.
Do you guys have other ideas? Besides making sure the site is in the top on google result page for P&YR-related search words?

have you sent an email to paul or steve?
they may be able to pull some strings and bypass the "suits"
maybe you could link the soundbytes direct from their website?
i also thought about mentioning it the next time i get on the air.

I haven't contacted Paul or Steve about it. I don't necessarily think getting the link is the biggest problem, I think the problem is that the Clear Channel suits at some point will follow the link and find the breach in copyright-stuff on the tribute site. What follows then will probably be nasty lawyer mails and lawsuit threats.
If I link to soundbits on their website I don't control what soundbits I release and that's also a shame.
It would be interesting to hear what Paul has to say if you mention the tribute site on air. They have mentioned it once before and I don't necessarily think they are very fond of the fact that they are being blogged. Listen to the clip here ยป
I would appreciate it if you mention the tribute site next time you get through, Doug :-) I hope people will understand the address -maybe you should just say people can google "paul and young ron tribute site" if they want to visit it.

Hey Doug
I've been in somewhat of a vacation mode this week, so I haven't been able to catch all the shows.
Did you call in to promote the website? If not, it's alright, because now the URL is easier for folks to understand. If you did get through which day was it?
