BlogHer, BlogRush and DealDotCom
For those of you who are regular readers of this site, you may have noticed some recent changes in the appearance. This post is to give you a quick update about some of the new things you are seeing here at Plain Advice.
First is BlogHer, which will now be advertising both products and other sites within their network. Plain Advice was accepted into this program a few weeks ago, but I just got the codes installed last night. Regardless, the large ad you see to the left of what you are reading is from BlogHer. Underneath the ad box are the most recent post titles for a few other blogs in the network.
Second, if you scroll down a bit, you will see a widget (box) with 5 titles inside it. This comes from a new online project called BlogRush. The service provides advertising of this site and others who have joined across the internet. The best part about the service? It’s absolutely free! If you are a blog publisher, you may want to check it out. Go to the bottom of the Blog Rush widget on this site, and click “Add Your Blog Posts Free”. Follow the instructions from there. I installed the widget yesterday and have already seen a 100% increase in my traffic.
The third business I have joined up with, DealDotCom, is all the buzz around the internet. This site will be launched tomorrow, Sept 18 (at midnight). Deal Dot Com purports that they will be selling items related to internet marketing, at rock bottom prices. They will sell one item per day at limited quantities, which enables them to offer such hot deals. They offer a great affiliate program, which I am signed up for. Only time will tell if DealDotCom is going to fly or not, but I don’t really see a downside to joining and taking a “wait and see” approach. If you are interested in joining DealDotCom as a customer or an affilate, click here.
I know this post is a little different than what you usually find at Plain Advice. But occasionally, we’ve got to shake things up a bit!
