Teri Lussier presents How Much Is That Doggie In The Window? posted at BloodhoundBlog, saying, "This is a hyper-local blog. It is not targeted to Dayton, it’s targeting one community in the Dayton area. And it is not targeted to everyone in that community, it’s targeting very specific segments of that community — young couples and young families. This is a blog that is focused to within an inch of its life toward a specific market within a specific market. Long tail and niche marketing? I hope. Can this approach be successful? Who knows — who has tried it before?"
