[TriLUG] Website Marketing question

[Michael Kimsal]

My first thought would be that he visited the site via a link someone gave
him, not directly by typing in the address.  If so, the link probably had
his info coded in it someplace.  Had he signed up at any vendors at a
conference lately?  They'll have your info there on file and can pass that
along to vendors.
