By Jeremy Schoemaker 52 comments

About Free shirt friday: companies or site owners send me shirts for free and I take a pic in them and write about them. If you would like to send me a free shirt contact susan at shoemoney.com and she can give you the address. BTW I wear a XL t-shirt (cause they shrink) or normally a large dress shirt.

I’ve been using HitTail for a while now, pretty neat for a free service. They let you track 100k visitors which is enough for most smaller blogs

The demo movie is nice, but a shirt could be a littel more… inspiring?

We are kind of getting a small tour of your house with each new free shirt friday. Last week we got a glimpse into the shoemoney bedroom and now we get a peek at the living room. We already saw you “bond” with a chocolate fountain in the kitchen so what else is left for us to see?

Their shirt does need a bit of work. Will check out their service when not occupied with illegal activities.

Nice T-Shirt , how many T-shirts have you collected till now Shoe ?

[Reply]
website copywriter said on July 8th, 2007 at 1:20 pm

I’m sure there are quite a few now. I guess the most important question is — do you keep every single shirt that’s sent to you, Shoe? Or do you give them away to homeless/shirtless people?

[Reply]
website copywriter said on July 8th, 2007 at 1:25 pm

It is a little on the minimalist side, but I don’t think it’s boring at all. It would be better though if it had some kind of tag line below the brand or across the back of the shirt.

I saw that post on John Chow’s blog and I think that you will probably be receiving a lot more t-shirts than usual in the upcoming weeks.

[Reply]
derek said on July 8th, 2007 at 7:03 pm

Maybe I haven’t received the SM shirts that I paid for because you’re too busy trying on your own free shirts to mail me mine.

HitTail is a great service, I’ve been using it for a while now. Even the free service will open your eyes as to how much more you’re missing from targeting more keywords.

Mike Levin said on July 9th, 2007 at 9:35 am

Thanks for the coverage, Jeremy. And thanks for the kind words, Bill and others. Yep, feel free to hop on over and try the service. For those who didn’t visit the demo, it’s a writing suggestion tool, which when the topics are acted upon (used in a blog post or website), it’s fairly certain to drive new natural search. Kept up over time, the technique builds momentum.

I would love to get a shirt from you, too, Shoe! I’m pretty sure you have a lot of new shirts lying around (I’ll even take not-too-new ones — I’m sentimental like that haha).

I was browsing around and noticed that not all of these Free Shirt Friday images have been added to the photo gallery, or have I missed something?
