1,000 companies signed on for ticker symbol service by year's end?? Is Ike kidding or what?
Don't see any PR anywhere, just what's being posted on Ihub, but this is yet again another WAY OVERDONE ESTIMATE. If this is a legit PR then Ike is saying that there's gonna be 200 clients per month signing on? I don't believe it. What the heck is Ike doing making such ridiculous statements? Now everyone is gonna expect 1,000+ companies by year's end. Absolutely stupid if Ike really has stated such. A more rational estimate would have been 250 companies by year's end, not 1-frickin-thousand.
Didn't Ike learn anything from this "300" by June debacle regarding leased keywords only to wind up with 40 of them (maybe less since this figure might include most of July also) ?
And what's up with a 6 million dollar print, internet, radio campaign? He should only focus on the WSF full page ad and then a couple of well-placed TV spots. If Ike is thinking of doing another "classified ads" type thing in all those rinky-dink papers he previously did, he should be fired. Radio? Well, that might be a good bet, however, I'd focus on TV and the WSF only. As for the 6 million, where will that come from? Is that all Fu's money, plus another million to be obtained from (share sales?, actual keyword revenue? which would be GREAT !! )
Lots of questions about these PR statements if true.
