Another week has ripped by and it’s time for another Sunday Smash weekly recap to get everyone on board with what I picked up from around the web this week as well as what went on here at Extreme John.com.
As I continue to mention week after week I really have no clue why I do this post each week, it’s way too time consuming for 60-100 looks. Maybe after going through this weeks Sunday Smash post you can take a moment to leave a comment and tell me one thing you would like to see me add to the Sunday Smash, something you feel other bloggers and readers of my blog will share with others. I appreciate your feedback of course, not to mention when you leave comments here on my blog you get plenty of link love.
Most of the typical stuff in this week’s Sunday Smash with the exception of new the new addition of my Top 5 Referring Blogs for the week and Top 5 Referring Search Engines/Social Media sites, a “referrer” is a search engine, website or blog that is nice enough to link to Extreme John and send me some traffic.

The Close Out
I had a busy week and actually got plenty of things done for Extreme Tan and Smoothies, Insane Limos and a few of our online projects. We had another huge week of Spray tans at Extreme Tan and Smoothies due to our BOGO Spray Tan special that ran from August 1st thru August 8th.
We kicked off a new Spray Tanning special that is available at all 6 Extreme Tan and Smoothies Florida Tanning salon and Spray tan locations, the new special is 2 Spray Tans for $20 and runs from August 8th through August 15th please share that on Facebook it’s a great special.
I also tried something very different this week from any of the previous weeks on my blog, each day I tried to include an article that offered some kind of blogging tip for new bloggers, I did these posts in addition to my typical daily posts that you see listed above and on the main site. I am curious how my readers will take to me throwing in blogging tips on a daily basis when possible, if you found any of my articles from the previous week to be helpful please leave a comment and let me know which one, I would rather post things you find useful.
Fast Forward
We will be getting agressive with the web promotions and trying to get Insane Limos out more during the week, we never really pushed weekday specials in order to generate additional business during the week. Why not give it a try, you constantly have to ask yourself if your doing everything that you can be doing when it comes to generating new business, regardless of what your business might be.
We kicked off a new ad campaign in America’s Favorite Coupon Book and on Clear Channel outdoor Billboards thanks to my good friend Mike Barbaro. The new special is geared towards new customers and existing customers of Extreme Tan and Smoothies, the special will run until the middle of September and offers customers monthly unlimited tanning for only $14.83. This special is available to customers that get into our VIP club that offers convenient monthly billing to lock in your tanning price for life.
Ok now for the sticky stuff before I get out of your face, do the right thing and share this article with others and leave a comment it only takes a couple of seconds, not to mention if you leave a comment and have a blog you can be sure I will stop by and say hi. If you like this kinda stuff or you just have the urge to stalk me you can subscribe to my RSS feed or follow me on Twitter.
If you missed last week’s Sunday Smash here it is, I got it out pretty late last week. Have a great Sunday!

This series just get better and better. You give more detail than any series I read. Try doing a little more promotion for it. Give it time for more and more bloggers to take notice. I know as I get more and more readers, they will see your post series in my Flashback Monday every week. I am sure they will take a look just to see what I am reading.
By the way, I am happy to read you getting traffic from my blog. Thank you for the backlinks.

“Maybe after going through this weeks Sunday Smash post you can take a moment to leave a comment and tell me one thing you would like to see me add to the Sunday Smash, something you feel other bloggers and readers of my blog will share with others.”
I think you should concentrate on giving more updates about the UFC. Your blog has been a source of very useful info when it comes to UFC. Adding the most recent news would add value to your site.

“Live UFC 101 Results – MMA Punk”
Now I know why they say watching UFC can keep you coming back for more. Its addicting. Makes makes me want to get as fit as these fighters are.

I tried doing Wordpress after trying out a few other platforms and for a beginner it’s not as daunting as it looks.
