How did you find ETHD?

[Mike]

I'm curious as to how everyone found this website. The increased traffic and multiple new registrations daily amazes me. It looks like we will also hit 1 1/2 million page views this month.

Besides a few t-shirts and stickers out there, we don't advertise. We don't pay to be at the top of the internet search engines, but we're usually in the top 5 by doing various searches. I've gotten several calls from companies wanting me to pay a monthly fee to put us there.

It just blows my mind and i'm curious how everyone found us?

[Circle C]

I was in a real bind after eating something that didn't agree with me. Stopped at a C-store in a rough part of town, and while I was doing my business I saw some writing that said.


"For a good time.... go to www.easttexashogdoggers.com"   


Actually, I was a member of a different message board, and the head honcho over there had a tendency to fly off the handle. I started looking for a different message board to hang out at, and found ETHD.

It's been so long ago...I don't even remember. There was just a few of us when I joined 

[tnhillbilly]

i found it surfing the net.  hog hunting, hog dogs, bay dogs, catch dogs.

 I have noticed lately that if you look up just about anything on hog hunting,   it has been discussed in some way, on ethd,  so when you google, or search,  it will link to a thread. 

Thanks to our moderaters, we have alot of good discussion, about anything and everything, without all the Bull #2.   Thanks

Found this site through a Post on Texas Boars. You see alot of Forums come and go, but this one keeps getting better. Congrats to the ones that run it.

After I lost my first pack a dogs I could not get ahold of 7M kennels Where I got my first dog and a friend told me to look on ETHD that he had good luck getting some young dogs off the dog trade.....So thanks to Chase I end up on here almost every day at some point in the day!!!

Yep, same here.

A friend and a man I respect started the site. I joined and have been a regular visitor. I also saw it on a gas station stall in Johnson City .

Ha ha... you'd figure after all this time you'd have more than 35 posts!

I remember Sean and Mike talking about making this site while hunting many moons ago.  It was just an idea then and Sean sat down and built it and we try to keep it running smoothly.  I take a lot of pride in being part of this site from the beginning even though I havn't exactly contributed a lot to it I enjoy being a close part of it and have made some truly life long friends through this site.  People I would have never met otherwise I have been able to meet and hunt with and enjoy our free time and common interest in working dogs and the outdoors.  This site is prolly a bigger part of all of our lives then we even realize.

Damn I am up to 35. Well Mike I look at it this way "some things are better left unsaid". My wife takes up my slack when it comes to posting.

[ChaseG]

haha sorry bout that danny

i found it the same way as tnhillbilly. i was at the house serching for cut vests and somehow came across it. been hooked ever since

[arrowbar]

I got it from a post on biggamehoundsmen.com

[Brad W.]

I was talking to a guy about where to find a good BMC pup. He offered 2 suggestions ETHD and Baydog.com. I got my pup off Baydog.com but find the dog trade on here more useful since most of the adds are fairly local.

[levibarcus]

I did a search for catch dogs which led me to baydog.com where I found an ad for a cd that I didn't get but the man told me to look on the dog trade here. It's been an addiction ever since, my wife hates it, I love it, and I have since infected some others who have become regulars on here. I have learned most of what little I know so far from reading the discussions on here or talking to or hunting with people from here. There are all kinds of people on here but I have met some of the best folks around through this site. Thanks to all who contribute here.

 We found yall on GOOGLE!    Google knows all........

[SC Hog Wild]

Had a couple buddies tell me they liked the stories and info. that was posted on this site, so I "googled it" and got registered...my wife hates it too, she says; "You hog hunt all day and then stay on the computer lookin' and readin' about hogs all night...you don't ever get enough?" I say; "Guess not...got to be good at somethin'!"  

[cward]

I was laid up for alittle while and don't like TV much at the Time did not even have a TV! Hated a computer because it was to slow! So we got high speed and I started looking for something to read and there she was!

My wife is the one that wrote it in the bathroom Stalls! She said it will keep all the men from going crazy and leave their wives alone!

I don't drink
Don't smoke
Don't do drugs
Don't dip
But I do alot of ETHD!!
I like the reading and being able to joke and laugh with some good new friends since I have been here!

I used to read the dog section of another board a while back and found out about it there and started reading here.  Then that board went crazy and i got banned one day so i get my dog fix here now. I'm not even sure I had hog dogs when I first got on here.  Maybe just one blood tracker.  I blame y'all for the other six.    


Actually, if I had to place specific blame the first hog doggers i met were Circle C, Aladatrot, Critter, and Eric followed shortly by Longshot, Mr Mason and Bump.  That's what I tell the wife anyway.
