You Should Be Reading: Hooking up with bloggers
Thanks you for visiting. Please consider subscribing to the RSS feed.I had the opportunity to meet up with some bloggers I met a few months ago in Orlando while I was visiting family over the weekend. My write-up is over at my Florida blog. We joked that we should have had the barbecue sponsored by […]

RSS Summaries with RSS Brief
I haven’t seen anything out of PPP about this yet, probably because it’s still in Alpha, but The Blog Herald is linking to RSS Briefs by PPP. According to the RSS Briefs website, this is part of the Argus project at PPP. This was described to me during the focus group several months ago, but […]

Time Out
I’m going to take a timeout and point to an incident that reads as though it occurred 40 years ago; it didn’t. It took place last fall, in 2006.
This is not about a corporate outing with a bunch of people dressing up like the Village People and some idiot trying to create controversy where there […]

Who knew? I’m not that self-important
Matt pointed to a fun, useless tool by Technosailor called the Technosailor Self-Importance Test. It tells you which web celebrity you’re most like.
Matt’s test results pegged him as Jason Calacanis.
Mine pegged me as Matt:
You are most like Matt Mullenweg!
You are most like Matt Mullenweg. Though you recognize your authority, you do not relish the idea […]

You should be reading: Andy Beard
Andy Beard shoots and scores again with Targeted Audiences Like Being Sold To, where he makes the case for how sponsored reviews can be leveraged by the advertiser and the blogger when they are kept relevant and targeted at the audience.
Relevant. Targeted. Those are the key words.
I’ve already said I made some mistakes early when […]

The paid-post debate goes from personal to nasty
What an idiot. Arrington over at Techcrunch slammed PPP again, this time accusing the folks over there of racism because some of them dressed up as indians during a scavenger hunt.
Must be time for Arrington’s quarterly poke at PPP. I’m pretty sure he has a reminder set in his Outlook calendar. And this was all […]

Just a little Friday silliness
I was tooling around at BlogCatalog, doing a little networking, and saw this Adsense and just thought it was funny. Love the irreverent headlines!

Google’s Hypocrisy
Virtual Marketing Blog is reporting that Text-Link-Ads has been penalized by Google, dropping to 43 in the SERPs for their own name despite a PR 7 ranking, and points out Google’s hypocrisy on the issue of paid links in general and Text-Link-Ads Adsense spending specifically. Good stuff, especially since I’ve been waiting for this shoe […]

Warning: PPP TOS changing again
Major well-deserved drama
I simply don’t have the energy to do a re-hash of yesterday’s developments being discussed in the 19-page thread (and counting) linked above. I stayed up too late participating in it.
I will say this one thing, however: I know I am a supplier of a service, and as my customer you can change […]

PayPerPost & Argus
Let’s get back to what we’re all here for, making money through the use of paid posts.
Ted Murphy at PPP wrote a rather extensive post on the PPP blog about Argus, the next-generation of PPP’s marketplace. I say "next-generation" rather than "next iteration" because Argus is truly revolutionary and disruptive, as Ted alludes to in […]
