Mission: Traffic Justin

As seems to be usual here at ChaCha, we’re taking a pretty unusual approach to generating traffic.

Run, ChaCha, Run! Justin

Just a quick update:
Go here to the official Iditarod page and check in on how ChaCha the sled dog is doing.  Aily Zirkle is the name of the woman who is running her and it looks like right now she’s in 7th place out of forty sleds.

Long Overdue Update! Justin

I apologize! I’ve been a little delinquent in updating the ChaCha Blog. And not because nothing has happened, but because so much is happening we don’t have time to slow down. Let’s get caught up: Here’s what’s been going on and what people have been saying about us.

ChaCha the Dog! Justin

ChaCha.com recently sponsored a sled-dog whose name is, incidentally, ChaCha. She’s a five year old Uksi pup, mother of six, and she’s apparently really fast.

Happy ChaCha Day! Justin

Today is a HUGE day for ChaCha for a couple of HUGE reasons.
Mission: ChaCha
The first piece of hugeness is our new marketing initiative called Mission: ChaCha. This is an unprecedented crack at spreading the word about ChaCha by compensating our Guides for promoting the ChaCha Toolbar. We’re going to pay them $1 […]

In Silicon Valley, the Race Is On to Trump Google Justin

New York Times! We’re starting out 2007 with a bang. Yesterday we were featured on the front page of the business section in the New York Times in a piece about the Google competitors that are joining the fray to create a better search engine.
2006 was the cusp of what’s becoming a massive game […]
