Wow! Notable Niagara Falls Website! In under 30 Days of existence!

Yes you read that correctly! Under 30 days my Blog is a notable site for Niagara Falls! I bet you are wondering how that happened...

I am part of the group called Niagara Rises. I am hopefully part of the positive changes here in Niagara Falls. One of their missions is to bring new businesses to the Niagara Falls area. Something that I believe passionately about (oh and I happen to chair their subcommittee on that topic).

Yesterday afternoon I was greeted by a Google Alert for my name and it was from an article by Frank Thomas Croisdale - WEB EXCLUSIVE! NOTABLE WEB SITES NOTED in the Niagara Reporter electronic edition. In it he referenced my efforts to get businesses to rethink the Niagara Frontier:

...Speaking of the future of Niagara Falls, Colleen Kulikowski is not unlike many young people who have moved back home after spending years elsewhere pursuing educational and financial goals. The realtor has created a blog that aims to lure expatriates back home to open businesses on the Niagara Frontier. You can read about what she believes are the top eight reasons to open a business in Niagara by clicking here.

Not bad for a site that went live 24 days ago! That I am still feeling my way through -- there are many things to be done. Oh yea, did I mention that I am screaming up the search engines? Or the fact that I average between 400-600 hits a day? That we are getting calls on what I am posting on it, with less than perfect lead generation?

It means that I cannot rest on my success, there is so much to be done. But I have to say it is really cool to get recognized like this... I have not done it in a vacuum, I have had many wonderful teachers along the way... Those of you that will see Laurie Manny at Unchained (Click here for more information) pay very close attention... You are in for something wonderful!

I have a glimpse of the future, and WOW! All of my hard work and writing is starting to finally pay off!
