Dick's Sporting Goods

Here is the reason why I hate Dick’s Sporting Goods, and why I will never go back:

You can usually walk into Dick’s Sporting Goods and never have a problem finding what you want. When I used to go, I would walk around maybe 5 to 1o minutes and find what I wanted without any help. This is not the problem with Dick’s. The problem is when you actually have to deal with someone that works there.

Like I said, I would spend less than 10 minutes walking around the store, but I would spend 15+ minutes waiting to checkout. One time there were only 2 people in line, me being the 2nd, and it still took 15 minutes. I think the problem is 50% the fault of the people that work there and 50% the fault of the people that shop there. No offensive to people who read this and shop there, but the people I have seen in there are all idiots.

And after you finally get to the register, the price is never correct. When they ring up the product, the price tag is always less than what the cash register says. Then you get the product home, and it is subpar, so you take it back. Then you have to deal with the Dick’s people again. What a hassle!

Now I know you are saying that has to be just the one store you go to, or used to go to. I have been to Dick’s in 3 different major cities, and all of them are the same way.

Stay Away!

Link Ladder

.!.

I started my Link Ladder during the Blog Madness, so I didn’t have a chance to write about it, but here is the skinny. The Link Ladder is located on the top right sidebar of this website. It currently has 5 links in it, as I gave these links away for free. I wanted a way to start the Ladder, so I thought giving away these links would help jump start the process.

The premise behind the Link Ladder is that people pay to have their links put on the Ladder.   Currently, if you paid me 1 cent, you would get the top spot on the Link Ladder.  Then it would take 2 cents to get the top spot, and so on.  I got this idea from a few other sites, but their sites were completely devoted to the idea.  I just wanted a cool way to do some advertising.

What you get out of the deal

You will get advertising on a website that is below the 300,000 rank on Alexa.  I also receive close to 50 visitors a day (it was over 100 two weeks ago, and hopefully, it will go back up).   I will also keep a list of the links on the Link Ladder page.  The list will be kept for historical reasons.  When a new site gets the top spot, I will write a post with a short review for that website.

It is a win-win situation.  You get cheap advertising on a website that has incredible potential.  I get a little bit of extra money to put back into this site.
