I can’t sum it up as well as Chris.  Check his hilarious article and observations about Lamborghini’s website.

    Sounds like ball-phobia to me.

    I think it’s smart. Lamborghini sells to titans of industry–not docs or lawyers. People who purchase them are typically rich dudes, masters of their niche. The bull is a force, a machine, a challange. Lamborghini owners like the “challenge” that the bull signifies.

    Would it be more “straight” and less gay to have a frog as the logo. How about a bird. We all know how hard it is to harness birds–and there are no balls to make anyone uncomfortable.

  2. Knox says:

    I completely see both points. Though, Patrick, your response is well thought out, I have to say Chris is just freakin’ funny.

  3. Patrick says:

    I also like the question, “Ready to ride.”

    Every good salesman who sells widgets knows it’s always good to get the customer to HOLD the object. It creates a sense of already owning it. For a WEBSITE, clicking on YES makes one feel committed to the object–that’s how humans work. It’s like thousands of years of wisdom wrapped up at the wedding moment when a bride says, “I do.”

    You’re committed. Who’s going to click on NO??!! Anyone who goes to the site is going to click on YES. It’s actually brilliant. It forces everyone to say “I do.”

    Why do I care about this….

  4. Hey Knox, I found your blog while searching for Twitter news. It took me to a post you made last year. Just wanted to say that I spent the last 20 minutes reading your blog and have really enjoyed it.

    And as Lamborghini goes, they know who thier market is and do a great job of advertising to it.

    Thanks for sharing that ad, it was hilarious!

  • MySpace The Modern Confessional

    December - 3 - 2006

    It amazes me how often people search for themselves by name on the Internet. Are these people paranoid? Scared? Guilty? Server logs and tracking scripts give such insight to the psychology of web surfers- from what they search for, what interests them, where they work to their actual internet usage – it’s all so fascinating.

    February - 26 - 2007

    Rick Barber is a radio host and airs in Denver in the middle of the night. Beside the other show that caters to UFO stories and the paranormal at that time, Rick caters to self-anointed intellectuals, and has a couple of co-hosts (regular callers). One of the co-hosts is great, you can hear a door [...]

  • Content Demoted To Queen

    January - 16 - 2007

    Every SEO regurgitates the phrase “Content is King” but I think the claim needs revaluation. Search engine gurus have spouted the phrase for quite a while, but have you noticed just how many sites are ranking with very little, or scraped content? Makes you want to figure out what’s causing the rank, and you realize [...]

  • Google Indents – Doubles Are Good!

    December - 12 - 2007

    The coveted “double listing” or “indents” on a Google SERP is not an accident or just plain luck. Site architecture and link strategies working in concert is what will reward you with a double listing. More importantly it will generate more visits to your site – that means more money! But why stop there? Niche [...]

  • What A Satisfying Shame

    November - 6 - 2006

    What a great day! A major competitor of a client of mine has panicked. Don’t get me wrong, I really respect this company, and they’ve been a worthy adversary for a time. They must have thought the same of my client because they have completely rewritten their website. Yes the site is beautiful. Yes the [...]

  • When SEO’s Get Bored

    April - 12 - 2007

    Many of “my kind” work at night. The reasons are many. I’m pretty lucky though for we have a couple 24 hour Starbucks in town. Yes, I need to hit the highway to get there, and that’s fun when I grab the right keys. Tonight it was not fun. This picture is AFTER I put [...]

  • SEO As Afterthought Can Kill Your Business

    November - 20 - 2006

    I can understand the thought process. A company holds a meeting and it’s decided that they want/need a website. They shop around, gather bids and ultimately write a huge check to some firm or somebody for a state-of-the-art website with so many bells and whistles that it would make Cpt. Kirk envious. This company has [...]
