Local Businesses: Advertise Through Google

Google can target your ads to only reach people in the geographic area of your business. Instead of seeing pointless ads on AntiWood for lawyers or bankruptcy consultations your ads will take the place of those eventually as you figure out how AdWords runs.  It is a highly effective way to reach people directly. And that's what it's all about.

AntiWood Hits 10,000 Page Views

AntiWood has reached the 10,000 page view milestone today with our biggest amount of views in a day: 80. We started out getting 1 or 2 hits a day so it makes me very optimistic to see steady growth. For those who started reading AntiWood in the last couple weeks I recommend reading some of my past writings to get a feel with where this is going.

We are not just a blog. We are a start-up company using the ins and outs of Google to get exposure. In time we will grow into a concrete .com and  launch a website that will benefit all within in our city limits. We're just working on attracting qualified people to build the vision. It's gonna take a little time. Until then keep supporting AntiWood as we aim to bring people together by telling them what they can do in life. Not what they can't do.

AntiWood - "If YOU build it...they will come."

CSU Fees Twice As Much Since 2007

What a shame. A whole generation of people will be turned off from attending a 4 year university because they're run by a bunch of 70 year olds who can barely tie their shoes. These people need to go home and garden or something. It really is a joke.

The real reason why the CSU system is getting worse and worse is that professors think they are entitled to a lifetime salary because they went to school for 31 years. And that's the truth from a person who experienced it first hand. They need to reform the CSU system if they want to give the Middle Class an honest chance at attending 4 year colleges.

City Clean-Up in Antioch

Saturday July 9th from 9:00 to 11 A.M.
Volunteers report to City Hall Parking Lot.

The Park (South Park Idea)

Warning: For serious South Park fans only (Ages 18 and up). Contains adult content.


This idea was before COD: Cartman Ops. Cartman creates Cartman Enterprises in this one. It is a spoof on Ben Affleck's flick "The Town" and how lame people are on LinkedIn.

The Park

Cartman and Butters are sitting at Cartman's house.

Camera zooms in on Cartman's computer screen:

LinkedIn.com

*PIC of Cartman smiling*

Eric Cartman
South Park, Colorado

Cartman Enterprises CEO

"We are the best. You are the rest."

1 Connection

----

Butters: Eric! What's that grown-up looking website you're on?
Cartman: LinkedIn. It's this awesome website where people make up phony aliases about how great they are when half the time they suck ass.
Butters: Cartman Enterprises CEO? Sounds pretty made up to me.
Cartman: Oh it is...for now...that is until I recruit the likes of Ben Affleck to join forces with me. I see building an empire...a criminal empire..based on greed...wealth...and annoying raspy monologues.
Butters: That's great Eric. How you gonna meet him?
Cartman: Through Mr. Garrison.

Back to computer screen:

(Cartman is shielding his screen from Butters.)

Cartman clicks his one connection and Mr. Garrison's profile pops up. Cartman goes to Ben Affleck's Linkedin and clicks add connection.

It asks how Cartman knows him...he selects Other...and types the following message:

"Ben...Eric...I am the CEO of Cartman Enterprises. We are writing a movie called "The Park." There's a lot of money out here in these small towns Ben. A lot of money. I've studied your work. I know every armored car route in the city. What do you say brother: you in????"

Hits Send.

---

Cartman goes back to his profile.

Butters: Did you find Ben Affleck????
Cartman: No. He was a 4th level connection of Mr. Garrison so I couldn't reach him. Oh well. I'll think of another plan.
Butters: Maybe Stan and Kyle can find him.
Cartman: Stan and Kyle can't even spell LinkedIn. Kenny is so poor his Internet Explorer 3 couldn't even run this technology. And you Butters...if I ever see you on this site I will take you out.
Butters: Take me out?! WHY?! I didn't do...
Cartman: Butters... I'm not messin around here. I'M writing the movie here...not you. If I want you in the movie I'll write you a part.
Butters: What if I want to write my own movie?

Cartman pulls out a Gold Desert Eagle and points it at Butters.

Cartman: I said stay out of it.

** Scene ends **

Stan and his family are sitting around the family room watching TV.

Randy: Hey Sharon...wanna grab me some vanilla wafers from the kitchen? I've been craving them all day.
Sharon: Randy I'm tired of you ordering me around.
Randy: Aww shutup in there and get my wafers.

Everyone is quiet when a commerical comes on:

"Do you or a loved one have mesothelioma? Anderson & Anderson Associates can get you a massive settlement if that is the case. Find us on LinkedIn to the get the truth about your condition."

Stan: Ohh what a scam!! 30 people a year get a disease and every lawyer in America jumps on the bandwagon. What a joke.

The room gets quiet and dramatic "Full House type music" comes on.

Randy: Stan...this is hard me to say this...but.....
Stan: What Dad?
Sharon: STAN. You have mesothelioma. You're one of the 30 people a year who got diagnosed with it.
Stan: WHAT? I'm just a kid. Are you playing a trick on me again? (Stan imagines the Future Self episode)
Randy: Times were tough Stan...when you were 3 we needed the extra income so we had you work at the South Park Steel Mill. Conditions weren't so sanitary but we had to do it.
Stan: AM I GONNA DIE YOUNG???

Turns from serious to more laid-back...

Randy: Oh no...you get to contact Anderson & Anderson Associates and become a millionaire. We're set baby!!!
Sharon: CMON RIDE THE TRAIN AND RIDE IT!!
Randy: CHOO CHOO!!!

Stan walks out of the room dejected.

Randy: He'll be fine Sharon. Once we get that payday we'll buy him the XBox Kinnect and all will be well.
Sharon: To get rich these days you need to get mesothelioma. What is wrong with our nation?
Randy: Ohh well.

Randy and Sharon high-five each other.

AntiWood Youth Sports

As I grew up playing baseball in Antioch I always wished there would be a website that would be up to date on standings...stats...team rosters...etc. Although different leagues made attempts at websites it always felt like the projects were rushed or incomplete. That is something I would like to change.

When AntiWood gets built there will be different "channels" on the website to reach certain activities going on throughout our cities. We will say go to AntiWood Keyword: Youth Sports and an entire portal will open up with the latest stats from every league that wants to participate on our site. We will sponsor teams throughout the two cities and pour money into their programs to help out the youth with better equipment and uniforms. But to do this there would need to be a conscious effort from many parties to pull this off. If executed correctly we'd create a virtual scrapbook for youth sports that would last forever.

Imagine when you're 40 years old and you want to remember your playing days at Antioch Babe Ruth. All you'd have to do is log-on to AntiWood. We are a site that will never fail. We aren't a data-mining fad that is going to be phased out. Our site is based on building a strong community. By showing our youth how to build strong organizations we are doing them a great service.

To really pull this off I see the following things would need to happen:

1) The AntiWood site transitions into more of a portal site and we ditch Blogspot. This will take time though and will not happen over night.
2) When we recruit real employees for AntiWood one of them will have to dive in to this project. Going to board meetings. Asking parents what they would want to see. Etc.
3) Parents would have to step up their game as we would rely on them to submit the scores and stats to our AntiWood web designers to update the site. Instead of watching Desperate Housewives parents will take 10 minutes out of their night and upload (legitimate) stats through our AntiWood app or whatever method we create to do this.

If we pulled this off we would make youth sports a lot more fun and interesting for the next generation of athletes. And we would attract people to our city to play in our sports leagues knowing that free press is involved. It's a win-win for everybody involved. This is just one of the hundreds of AntiWood projects I am designing for my future employees to get involved in. I believe this one is a for-sure winner and would be a great thing for the community. I really do hope it happens one day.
