Recently Vince Daniels received an e-mail here on his website. It struck him as odd at first when he noticed that the sender of the message was Vince Daniels. When he opened it, the message said "You don't know how surprised I was when I discovered that vincedaniels.com was already taken. Congrats on your success. Guess I will have to go for vincedaniels.net." It was signed Vincent S. Daniels, a very popular professor and the Executive Director of Huizenga School of Business at Nova SouthEastern University.

It started out rather modestly on a Saturday morning, October 1st, just one year ago. He did'nt plan it to start on the first day of a new month. It just happened to work out that way. Throughout the entire month of September, 2005, Vinnie worked feverishly with his webmaster at the time, Michael Sison to put together a product that could be ready to launch on a Saturday. The fact that the site might debut on the day of his show was more important to him than anything. After a string of sleepless nights that included fine tuning what would be his first and only website, the last thing that needed to be done was uploading the 3 shows that would land in the media archives portion of Vince Daniels dot com.

Those 3 shows were a sampling of the very best shows that Daniels had generated from W.P.M.D., the station that he and his announcer, Jay Boatman were on at the time. Little did the two realize on that day that yet another day would come when they would move their act to terrestrial radio, and that their new website would one day link to the stations site that provides podcasts of every episode, making every "Many Moods" show available immediatly after it's over.

In the early days, the idea behind the site was to drive more listeners to the Cerritos College station that was carrying The Vince Daniels Show. In fact, to properly lauch the site, Daniels introduced "Audio Commentary" shows that played every Saturday for 3 straight weeks in October. The episodes he chose to do commentary for were the shows featured in the audio archives. Since The Many Moods aired later in the afternoon, the obsticle it had to overcome was that it competed with Baseball playoffs and the World Series. As a result, the numbers of those logged on to W.P.M.D. that month were at an all-time low. However, the numbers for the new upstart site were slightly over 13,000 unique hits during its debut month.

Those numbers remained unchanged for the first few months of Vince Daniels dot com. It wouldn't yet dawn on Daniels that the idea was not to drive new listeners to a college radio station. The idea was for a commercial radio station to drive traffic to Vince Daniels dot com, and vice versa. This would begin to happen 6 months later, when in April Vinnie and Jay premiered on K.C.A.A. in the Inland Empire of Southern California. The website brought aboard a new webmaster, Ryan Theising, who would start to dress the site up a little more. The number of unique visitors would slowly and steadily increase. For instance, at the end of July, the number of hits were up to 31,279 for that month.

Expectations were that the end of August might bring a slight spike of 3 to 4,000 additional hits. To Daniels surprise, the month closed out with 42,056 visitors. This was a month that featured a show that allowed listeners to say goodbye to their favorite Country Deejays from a Los Angeles Radio station which had just flipped format a week prior. In September, a show about mind control cults, focusing on the Church of Scientology, caused the most unbelievable increase in unique hits. Vince Daniels dot com would go from 42,056 visitors in August to a 50,000 hit increase, making the official September count 92,792. To date, the site has numbers fast approaching 400,000 hits.

"I'm not one to display my hit counter on the bottom of my home page. I'm just happy that people stop by for whatever reason," says the author of a site based on his radio show whose goals are to make the site a little less cluttered and eventually get around to adding the 'Show Regulars.' Says Daniels, "to this day, even a year later, when you go by the show regulars you still see that UNDER CONSTRUCTION notice. More and more I'm a lot more sure of who my team is on 'the many moods.' You should start seeing faces and bio's appear there very shortly."
