I love Pay Per Post. Last month I earned 3 times more with PayPerPost then I did with AdSense.

Re: I am Drowning in Social Web Sites

Nice collection of sites you have listed there. And that isn't even all of them. Bumpzee & SpicyPage are also good social networks. I visit MyBlogLog every day and the rest once per week.

Re: The Pain of Tracking Conversations

BeachBum — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 07:06:00 -0000

That sounds like a great idea. you should post that as a comment on Eric's profile. I'm working on a contact system for my blog that worked like a threaded discussion. It will be a private thread and not public. But I like the idea of a public thread tracking system.

Re: Comment Spam Explained

BeachBum — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 07:30:49 -0000

Nice post.

Just kidding. I know there is a plugin for Wordpress that is supposed to have a field that shows on the screen, but not when scraped like the spammers do. I haven't used it yet. For my other blogs I just turn moderation on. This works for me anyway as I want to be in touch with my commenters and email them or post a reply to their comment.

Re: How To Blog Effectively

BeachBum — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 07:37:14 -0000

Nice post. The content doesn't match your image. It would have been nice to see an image being built as you got to each section of your post.

I think be yourself is very important. Not just in blogging, but also in networking on the social sites. I find that being yourself works better then trying to fit in.

Re: 29% Of Technorati Top 100 Never On Digg Home Page

BeachBum — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 07:38:38 -0000

Andy, I like reading about stats and website testing. 29% is much lower then I had thought. digg is not the end all be all for traffic, so 71% of the Technorati Top 100 having made first page on digg was a shock.

Yesterday I was doing research for the 30 day challenge and found that one of my key phrases was not popular in the us. The top 10 for that key phrase was Thiland and other smaller countries.

I will check out the blueprint. You know that nonofollow text is confusing at first. The double negative using the same word made me thing you were for nofollow not against it. At any rate as far as bloggers go you rock.

Re: A new mathematical formula for Blogging

BeachBum — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 07:34:26 -0000

I have 2 points to your formula. But first, well done, I like this idea.
1) I follow a blog schedule. This makes posting so much easier as I already have a set theme for the day and topic for the week. This also keeps me from gettign stuck without anything to write.
2) There is a flaw in the posting frequency test. Or at least some missing data. Where did this traffic come from? I say this because I have found that there frequency is less important than title. I found that using the right words in my post titles helps drive traffic up. My traffic source is Google searches, so I can match without a doubt what I am doing to the traffic increase.

I don't think that I even made the "B" list. I do have over 330 people in my MyBlogLog community, so that is good.

Nice BLOG!

I love the TAGs feature at MBL. It would be nice to be able to tag everything and then have one place to organize everything.

I joined MBL in December and I am glad to be a part of the Social Network beginning.

Re: The Journey Begins - Consolidating multiple blogs to WordPress

BeachBum — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 07:23:32 -0000

Thanks for providing so much detail. That was nice. I have a few blogger blogs, some of them hosted on my own server. Same for wordpress. I have to say based on my experience I prefer blogger.

Re: Portable Social Networks

BeachBum — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 12:49:42 -0000

I use MyBlogLog daily and know what social networks are. I am guessing by portable you are referring to sites like twitter.

I think going mobile with social networks will benefit local business more then internet surfers. Small groups of friends may try it out, but in the end I think mixing portable and land based social networks will fail.

Re: How A Blogger Can Keep 100% Revenue Generated From Text-Link or Paid Review

BeachBum — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 13:52:13 -0000

Sounds good. Only problem is how are you going to get the big advertisers unless you have the traffic. The method you described works for ProBlogger because he already has advertisers wanting to pay him directly. So for small blogs the middleman does what they cannot.

Re: How to calculate blog reach & influence?

BeachBum — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 18:54:06 -0000

I would put inbound hotlinks as #1. You can't trust search engine traffic these days. I would rather have other "A" list bloggers find what I write interesting and link to me.

Re: 2007/07/11/reviewme-advertorials/

BeachBum — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 23:00:53 -0000

It sounds like ReviewMe is trying to grow in the wrong direction.

As a blogger I don't want to mix content not written by me in with my content. This will just confuse readers.

Why should I risk loosing readers just so an advertiser can get a link?

Great work so far. I found this site from your SitePoint listing.

Do you think there is a long term profit potential for this site?

Interesting find. If you track everything I don't see a need for a heat map. My tracking stats tell me all I need to know.

Re: Have You Signed Up For ‘U Comment – I Follow’?

BeachBum — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 12:52:46 -0000

I think all spiders should follow no matter what the nofollow tag says. At any rate thanks for the post. I am going to guess that this movement helps blog publishers get more comments which add content to their blogs.

Good luck with your website project. You might want to consider traffic into your plans. Advertising income would also help when it comes time to sell.

Good Luck with your project.

Re: Cost Effective Advertising

The top paged ads look interesting. Do you have any stats on outgoing clicks on those ads? I am curious if they are better or worse then a text link.
