jmh123 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Feb. 28 the WRAL videos were picked up by Yahoo online as "featured videos" on Yahoo Entertainment video page. AOL too, but AOL isn't a searchable term at CH, so I don't have the specifics. The Billboard article was picked up by a bunch of mainstream outlets, as well as blogs and websites big and small.

Couch Tomato Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hi LdyJ ..can you describe that phone thing so I can add it. I hate phones LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Here ya go couchie! April 7: Call 919.883.5111 on your cellphone, and receive a message from Clay! At that point, if you hit 1 when asked, you will join Clay’s “team” and you’ll get two text messages from Clay on your cellphone. The first text message thanks you for joining the Clay Aiken mobile group; the second one gives a link to a web page where you can download a ringtone for your mobile phone of Clay saying: "Hey, I know ya'll recognize this voice. Yep, that's right, it's Clay Aiken, and I'm telling you, you MUST pick up your phone right now. It's really important, you don't want to miss this call." There will be other text messages as the album release gets closer to May 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couch Tomato Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 don't you have to pay for text messages? I should check my plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 My plan is $0.15 per text SENT; but I don't think there is one for texts received. I'm not sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmh123 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Today (April 9) OMWH is added to Clay's myspace. A sponsored link that shows up on the sidebar with a "Idol Gives Back" google search takes you to http://guptamedia.com/clayaiken/. The site has links to Amazon and Walmart, plays OMWH, has the webisodes, and even a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmh123 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I put some new stuff in bold, couchie. All the Clear Channel radio station sites have OMWH "on demand," but it isn't advertised on the main pages yet and ads on the home pages of some stations' websites. They also have the "Spamalot" and "Producers" webisodes in Clay's video section. Today a video of Clay recording OMWH showed up on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/mpd/permalink/m1P6JENNKMYU0Y. <-- That's the the permalink. The video is on the page with his album: On My Way Here. The guptamedia.com google sponsored link is showing up with all kinds of Clay Aiken search results now. A larger color ad from Gupta Media is on MJ's blog, dial idol, and other sites. There's a banner ad on MySpace and LALATE, and other sites (with available spelled wrong). iTunes has a rotating banner ad in its Pop section, and iTunes sent out e-mails to many customers announcing the preorder. RockonTV shows Clay on Kimmel as guest and performer on Friday Feb. 16, and this, "Tune in to see Clay Aiken on The Tonight Show (5/2), The View (5/8), Jimmy Kimmel (5/23)," is on this RCA page: Sony Music Box - Artist News. SONY store e-mail includes a link to pre-order OMWH for $9.99. Cap of e-mail here: http://theclayboard.yuku.com/topic/23000/t...ludes-Clay.html. There's an ad for the QVC appearance in TV Guide this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couch Tomato Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Thanks JMH..I will update the top thread...can you let me know if I've missed anything. the rotating banner ads...does anyone know which sites these are turning up on. And there was something aout idol..is it for sale on their website I'd like to also list bonus tracks/name and outlet available QVC KMart Itunes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSRN Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Like this? ON MY WAY HERE Ordering Info Available now – Amazon.com or Amazon.ca preorder Available now - Walmart preorder with bonus track (Forget I Ever Knew You) and exclusive CD cover - U.S. only Available April 21 - Itunes preorder with bonus track (Available on itunes Canada) Available April 28 - QVC visit and preorder OMWH with 5 bonus tracks (WINY, IWCY, Invisible, MOAM & TITN video) - Canadians can order Available April 29 - Amazon Digital Store download of OMWH single (U.S. only) Available May 6 – CD available in retail outlets KMart, in store, exclusive Poster available. Available June – MusicPass with access to a digital version of the CD and probable bonus content The rotating ads are Google-driven, so whatever they used as tags for them dictates where they show up. IOW, they are being pushed/pulled by sites based on the tags. I'm sure they're tagged with any variation of AI, Clay, Simon, OMWH, etc. They show up on my old WMS board, for example, because I stopped paying for ad-free ezBoard, so if you go over there, you'll see the banner, or the sidebar tag at random.

muskifest Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Can someone clarify for me...is the Walmart cd with the bonus track available ONLY via an online order, or will we be able to buy it in the stores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
