New Website: Ron Paul Myths. Volunteers needed!

[pauliticalfan]

I like the logo. Would probably make MYTHS all caps, though.

Myth: Ron Paul will completely shut down the Fed and IRS immediately.

He will phase them out.

We need to own the url for each myth and direct it to each page. We need it SEO so if someone googles Ron Paul racist then our site comes up. We can own the search results if we do this right.

update: I cant get the domain until wednesday. its only about 10 or 12 bucks but Im literally 100% wiped until mid week. Ive given every last possible dollar to the campaign (including change jars lol) and I need some time to recover. If some one else wants to get it thats fine. If someone wants to drop some money in my paypal, that works too... or we can wait till Wednesday. Whatevers clever.

my paypal = [email protected] just in case.

Dude, that's awesome. Where'd you get the HQ official logo from?

 

[prander]

I would suggest using http://www.ronpaularchive.com/ for sources. While the front page hasn't been update since June, I believe this is the best collection of his own writings, etc.

I can provide free hosting for the site. I have plenty of extra room on my reseller account.

If you use Godaddy for the domain purchase, with a 7.99 coupon from Retailmenot.com, you can save a few bucks that way as well.

Cleaner is absolutely right. However, just a slight variation.. keep it all under the same domain, so you can maximize potential with SEO.

I can buy a domain or two and/or provide hosting through my account as well as needed.

Thanks dude. I wouldn't have thought of using the Revolution style Myth without yours! I'm using inkscape and I'm sort of new to it, so I don't know how to do the spray paint style.

I made the HQ logo myself because I wanted to make some bumper stickers, but couldn't find an HQ version of the logo of the ones I'd been seeing... then it turns out it's almost exactly like the one the original artist for the campaign had designed (one they didn't use), so I hope it's ok. Anyway, all the source stuff is in my sig under the "Ron Paul Bumper Stickers" link.

Still just messing around with ideas. Edit: another another

I'm curious -- why a separate domain for each myth? I mean, suppose you had: hxxp://www.ronpaulmyths.com/ronpaulracistmyth. How would... this be different from ronpaulracistmyth.com in terms of search engine optimization? Why is one more valuable than the other? Is there a specific way that we should go about doing all of this? Do you perhaps want to become the SEO/Marketing Manager? Having someone in charge of all that would definitely be useful.

EDIT: And also, if anyone is still up for helping with writing the articles, please step forward! We need as many people as we can get.

Because if a RP supporter doesn't own ronpaulracistmyth.com then an anti could buy up the domain and put out lies. ~~

Multiple domains is a bad idea and would take a very long time to build SEO. One website with that is optimized will be able to top the charts in all searches.

I don't think this is a good reason. Somebody could make a website called ronpaulisaracist.com and do the same thing with SEO. We are better off focusing on one domain. As long as the website is optimized, we wont have to worry about anti-RP domains.

 

[JJonesMBA]

Good idea. I'm up for helping write-up any myth rebuttals.

 

[redbluepill]

Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but another myth that you can bust is the claim that he is a 9/11 truther.

I concur. A simple link is fine. I can donate a few hundred dollars of google space to help with the initial listings seed. I highly doubt there will be much competition for anti-ron paul keywords.

I can host the site here on my local server (she can handle a few tens of thousands of visits a day I do believe) for now at least until we get it launched. Until then, anyone that wants to beat me to buying the domain is more than welcome to do so. Im going to start messing around with the site right now. stand by.

THAT has to be super! Really like the way "myths" is cloudy-like and love the underbar quote. That has gotta be perfect..

 

[Crickett]

Thank you!


Here's a quick gimp mockup.

Exactly Right.
