Since Faire Magazine only has one issue out (the next is in the editing/layout phase - so stand by true believers), we have to rely on the power of internet marketing to get our name out there. Thus, you'll find us at forums all over the web of concern to Renaissance revelers worldwide.
Also, as part of this marketing gauntlet, there are little tricks of the trade to climb the ladder of search engine rankings (such as the über-popular Google™). No longer does this ranking rely on how many times we can list the words "renaissance festival" on our pages, but rather how many other websites like to ours; how many times folks have bookmarked our site, how often to people read our company blog (which you're doing now by the way, so thanks), and other small details.
This upgraded way of ranking sites makes for a better, well-rounded web and I think it really gives the web surfers more content and less spam to wade through. So you folks are the winners when it comes to these new online marketing techniques. . . and hopefully it will drive not just more traffic to www.fairemagazine.com but convert more qualified visitors to the site into leads and then into customers (i.e. advertisers & subscribers).
Still, keep talking us up to all of your Renaissance vendor friends about how you'd like to see them in the pages of our magazine. The more advertisers of quality that we get the better, bigger, and more inclusive our magazine will become.

Yes, We Cans Blog
Welcome to the inner workings, ideas, thoughts and ramblings of one Steve "Sir Black Fox" Kimball, publisher of Faire Magazine and The Pyrates Way magazine.
A blog is a necessity these days if one wants to promote their business online. As with following all the protocols of Google™ in order to get high-ranking search engine listings, you just have to have a blog linked to your business website to be successful.
Why? People are bored and everyone on the planet has some degree of ADD, (thus broadband, T1, DSL, and YouTube™). "We want it interesting and we want it now. . . . you've got less than 2 seconds to load said interesting web page and don't expect us to be here for more than five minutes." To get all of these folks back on your website every day (so you can continually molest them to buy your product), you need fresh, new content.
Blogs do that. They give new information to your readers every time they check out your page.
Thus, here we are. . . Faire Magazine's blog. We hope to provide you information that you won't find in our magazine but that still falls within our target subject matter. . . i.e. Renaissance Faires and Festivals.
We'll also clue you in on future features in the magazine and a schedule of where you'll find us when we visit faires nationwide. This should be fun, adventurous and yet openionated and interesting. Although you might not agree on our "take" on the information we provide, this blog and our bulletin board gives you equal opportunity to take us to task.
I hope you enjoy this new adventure!
