Amazon MP3 Widget lets you Make Money

May 15, 2008 | Filed Under Advertising, Amazon, News | 1 Comment

Amazon just released a MP3 widget featuring samples from selected music from their MP3 store, with buy buttons. That means money for you, since it’s an Amazon Associates thing.

Money Still Flows Online, As Long As Advertisers Know Everything About You At Least

April 29, 2008 | Filed Under Advertising, Features | Leave a Comment

Yeah, I know, it’s a duh moment, but since Google’s chief economist says so, then it must be true and news! Then again, what would they say, Google, since they’re pimping search based advertising as the driving force in the trend that defies the sluggish economy. And yes, we’re talking the USA here, with a […]

April 29, 2008 | Filed Under Advertising, News | 2 Comments

Adify is a pretty cool advertising tool for publishers, giving you a hosted ad platform to manage your ads. I’ve been looking into it for clients and own projects, but never used it. This is how they pimp their service to publishers:
Publishers have full editorial control over the entire process. That means more revenue for […]

Recently, I got the following comment on Lorelle on WordPress:
I just set up my blog and I am still trying to get everything in line. When I write original content, does it have to be about the subject of my blog? Will it hurt to have content not related to the title and keywords of […]

GoSquared Invites You To Sell Squares

April 11, 2008 | Filed Under Advertising | 2 Comments

GoSquared started out like some kind of buy a pixel project, but with 140×140 pixel square ads instead. That page is still there, in an updated form, by the way.
Well, now you can put these squares on your own site, and sell them via GoSquared, as well. It’s the traditional take on selling ads hosted […]

Do you tag yourself? Honestly? No, this is not a game.
With everyone back on the tag versus categories versus tags bandwagon, have you checked to make sure you are tagging yourself?
Inside of Lorelle on WordPress is the tag attribute that turns “Lorelle on WordPress” into a tag.

A BIG Reason to Read a Pet’s Blog
May 16, 2008 | By Andrew G.R. | Leave a Comment

I’ve often taken a snarky approach when it comes to people who set up blogs for their pets. I barely want to read about humans’ mundane lives, let alone issues with litter and pooper scoopers. However, there might be a new reason to subscribe to Lucky, Fido or Buddy’s blog.
Animals’ ability to prognosticate […]

May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment

I look forward to assisting Yahoo! in refining and extending the Inquisitor user experience beyond where it is today. I truly believe that Inquisitor and its users can only benefit, both […]

Now you can get some more statistics for your YouTube videos, with the recently launched Insight tool, available in your YouTube account (under Manage my Videos, which is probably temporary). The new stats feature is described like this by Tracy Chan, YouTube product manager:

Google the New Number 1 in the US
May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment

I thought they were already, but obviously not so. Google has been the leading search engine, but overall Yahoo is the most popular web site according to ComScore’s rankings. No more though, according to an AP report:
According to comScore, Google’s unique U.S. audience in April was 141.1 million, an 18 percent increase from the same […]

May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment

Stephanie Stockman is a NASA contractor working at the Goddard Space Flight Center, which is cool by itself.
