Crazy Frog on the BBC and Jamster affiliate sites

**KieronD** · 25-05-05

Someone told me today that the BBC had put a news story up about the Crazy Frog single and it linked back to my Crazy Frog site at www.thecrazyfrog.net.

Here's the BBC link....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4576119.stm

Anyway I checked the BBC and although there is a link that goes to a Crazy Frog affiliate site, it isn't mine.

So I checked through my logs and sure enough there was a couple of thousand referrers from the BBC article to my site earlier today. So the strange thing is that my site was linked for an hour or two today but then the links were changed. Very strange. Anyway, I'm not complaining, the free traffic was nice while it lasted!

Cheers!

there is a link on there to www.crazyfrog.co.uk, which I believe belongs to Leeky so I am sure he's getting lots of free traffic too

I wish that domain name was mine.. but it isnt, i do believe it belongs to a Lee, but not me :-(

This better not be a post where everyone has a Crazy Frog site.. shame on you guys for promoting (and making money) from this most annoying of ring tones... <crying in to my desk.. I wish I made one> LOL

Good luck to you all.

By the way BBC update links to more relevant ones as they find them, I seen articles that have links change during the day, I guess as the page gets more hits they have a staffer look double check they have the best links, who knows. But certainly a bonus to get a BBC link without the need to kill someone to get it

The BBC has never liked me, from last minute cancelled interviews to the sports editors not returning a phone call on my most memorable day ever. Ah well, I was always to pished to comment anyway.

One day.

**Leeky** · 25-05-05

You wouldnt have got that most recent frog domain you regged if my girlfriend hadnt had buggered off with my credit card

Well the BBC lost out, that's all I can say.

One radio show (what a couple of days that was) and one newspaper for this site that I know of so far, today's Scotsman. http://news.scotsman.com/features.cfm?id=573722005

Right at the bottom.

Hi,

If the BBC are that smart why is the related site not Jamster.co.uk !

And, Kieron, I found your Crazy Frog site yesterday from another
site that must, by implication, be your site too. And if it is, *I am
very impressed*.

Just shows me what I have to do to get nearer to being
one of the *Big Boys*.

Nice one guys, Steve (smnash) is right, some of us are just not trying hard enough!

From experience, the BBC editors do a search on Google and pick the top ranking site.

There was a Tartan Army story a few months ago and the top link was a website that hasn't been updated since 2001

It was the guys personal home page, so no custom domain name or anything.

As it was the first TA website everyone has always linked to it.
