The barber pole technique and the obvious momentum gained from each successive debate performance resulted in a 404% increase in the number of online contributions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Looking forward, the key to continued growth is building a vibrant list.  The initial indications are good for this quarter.  In the first two weeks of July, with the switch to www.mikehuckabee.com the campaign has seen a dramatic increase in traffic.<br \/>\nLater today, I will share with you some of the campaign&#8217;s online goals for the third quarter and discuss ways your blog can assist the campaign in reaching them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Mike Huckabee campaign today (via email): As a blogger for Huckabee, the campaign has asked me to share with you some insights into it&#8217;s online efforts.
