How you can make GTA happy - an interview with Gaba Teachers Association

On January 16, 2008 in Interviews

If you missed it, here is yesterday’s post. We have a couple more questions today as part of our fun with “Gaba Teachers Association.” But first I want to highlight a very funny GTA post.

“Eight-year old reflects on how his life could have turned out if only he had studied harder” - the sad thing is, this is not at all far from reality…

Ok. Let’s roll interview:

DailyJ: How can interested people get the most from your site?

GTA: Please click on random articles as a favor because my happiness is directly tied to my page view count.

DailyJ: Who do you think would love GTA and why?

GTA: According to Google Analytics, the vast majority of people take one look and exit from the site. Once in a while, there’ll be one guy or girl who looks at 50 pages. I assume they must be teachers who have been in Japan for a while and have had similar experiences.
I thought about changing the title to Worldwide English Teachers, or W.E.T. but I’m not sure if this would be more attractive.

DailyJ: What part of running GTA is the most fun for you?

GTA: That’s easy, Google Analytics. I like knowing that a kid in Jordan googled “Teacher Erection” and found my site. Or a college kid in Texas who wants to know “American teachers, japan danger?”

A big thank you to GTA for giving the interview. Be sure to check out the site and contribute to his happiness. I for one welcome our new GABA overload… :)
