This was a major oversight on their part. People don't usually type in the URL, they "google" it. Guess what comes up? And if they click on it, that site starts to move up the list.
The old guys in NY are soooo far behind the times.
Cedar saw it. He didn't know about the direction in the article so he wasn't colored one way or another on expectations. He just saw more traffic.
2013 is going to be an interesting year
Getting householders to google the official website will certainly backfire - almost every potential convert will also be looking at the other websites a trawl brings up. When the RV happens they will no longer be interested.
Dubs are bound to go to the other sites too.
Dont visit sites that are critical = dont think of all the boobies and sex on porn sites.
Countries with internet access will soon go into an accelerating decline, as Cedars predicts.
Growth in the third world will slow as the richer countries cease giving enough money. When they eventually go online the same internet phenomenon will start there too . The society will think they are saving $$$ by getting the african witlesses to download. Then they will start to lose what little cash they get from the third world too.

I've had 61 visits to JWsurvey.org in the last 6 hours (10 visits per hour) via the keyword "jw.org", so they can blunder away as far as I am concerned!! ___Cedars
There's a TV Jingle that's in my head that goes
Oh Cedars make your life easier
I'm looking forward to seeing who covers this part tomorrow night and how many people say the address properly. But more importantly, as has already been pointed out a few times, a lot of people seem to not know the difference between the address bar and the search bar. My boss always Googles the web site's URL and then slowly studies the results, looking for the right one. It's the first one! The address you just typed! Just click on it already! But for a Witness, they will see some very interesting results below #1 or #2 that could eventually draw them in.
I bumped a thread recently where someone had predicted a few months ago that the Society would have presentations being done at the door with a tablet by 2015. That happened a lot sooner than any of us thought. Others have predicted that the next step is all literature is going online and either being placed digitally or printed by the friends on their home printers. So the main thing that this Service Meeting part makes me think about is, "How soon might that happen, and when it does, will many JWs be discouraged, or will they simply praise the Society for reducing costs?" We've already heard complaints about the smaller magazines from some of the R&F.
Interesting. A presentation at the door, heralding back to the days of a card left explaining the message, or the old record players. No room for the publisher to muck up the message. They are just rank and file after all. They don't even have a mediator between them and God.
I am sure that it will backfire!...... as Cedars has already discovered
Personally, I got into the 'net only after a Service Meeting part that detailed how terrible it was that people were reading stuff on it about JW's, and that careless bros were putting stuff out that should be confidential .. Hey, I thought " I am gonna get me some of that!"
yep Tater. They set themselves up. If, and I do mean if, they actually convince a householder to go ahead and search it, they will have a rats nest on their hands on their return visit.

pedos
U name it
And using the householder's computer is a bizarre suggestion.
JW: "Mind if I come in and use your computer to show you my weird religious web site?"
Householder: "Uh, okay, I guess this is too strange an offer to pass up, so you have my curiosity. Um, just ignore the popups. And the desktop picture. And don't type anything in the address bar, the autocomplete knows too much."
Just wondering if they will have an education prog for the old ones of how to use the net.
Also how to be carefully not to go to apostate sites (I hate the word apostate in this context).
Oh be CAREFULLY how the apostates will try and mislead you,etc.
With all these comments here, I think the wtbs is looking into this and how they can circumvent
your brillant ideas.
