This site needs to add a few ‘average’ gals. Yep, some well-known bloggers who can bring THEIR following along, when they post. We all love the celebs, but blogging isn’t about celebrity. It’s about connecting and engaging.

I know the readers of wowOwow are very engaged…my friend Toby Bloomberg has a great post on Diva Marketing about them, but if this site wants to play with the big boys…and generate millions of page views…they need to add more regular folks. Voices I can relate to. People like me.

I offer my services, and if I am not what they want, I can recommend a few others. Women are dominating the web now and to succeed, the writers of a group blog need diversity. All celeb writers may speak for many women, but they miss the point for many other women.

BTW, we’re all watching.

Yes Virginia There is a Santa Claus. I love these women and finally there’s validation for a website that speaks to me. I’m sure I’m not alone and just in case, I’ve become an ambassador for wowOwow. Thanks Joni, Lesley, Whoopy, Peggy……

I’m not the target market so my take may be absolute rubbish. But it’s possible to have an excellent website that no one visits.

This effort seems to have high aspirations but is difficult to define in a couple of sentences. I’m not sure if it will become a destination site. I clicked over to the site to check it out. While I’m sure a lot of time was spent on its design, I didn’t get a feel of a central message or mission. It seems a bit all over the place.

This looks like a recipe for failure to me unless the founders are able to leverage their celebrity into a *huge amount* of free traffic. Otherwise it seems to me the demographic, name, lateness to the table, and even the general concept simply don’t add up to much profit potential in what is becoming a cheap and difficult online ad environment.

Climbing the unique user wall to satiate advertisers will no longer work, particularly with any degree of sustenance. Surely, the value proposition has more substance than just a focus on 40+ women. Since they are flush with celebrity cash, they should consider buying a less childish domain.
