DISQUS

No problem - glad you like it!

Alright, sorry it didn't work for ya - I think there may be other ones that do work.

http://www.theresabloginmysoup.com/feeds/ should work or try: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/TheresABlogInMySoup

What you need to do is where it says current trigger, you need to choose microblog.

Then set the trigger to active.

Add any changes to the way you want it to display mine looks like this:
[Blog] $subject: $slink

--- Now you need to click on Update Trigger.

THEN MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU NEED TO CLICK UPDATE OPTIONS at the very bottom under the yellow box -

I know it's stupid but I had the same problem you're probably having I kept updating triggers - but that only saves it
temporary then deletes it when you leave the page. You need to update the options too for it to stick.

It's completely free.

I actually really like the commentluv plugin it seems to help alot.

There are actually two such services that I am aware of: #1 is Twollow where you can follow users who share the same interests by keyword, #2 is TwitterMass is a tool which helps you build your network on auto pilot.

That's kind of what I was thinking - build a network of people with different skillsets, bring in people who submit their ideas, and build them, release them and see which ones take off.

I hear you, I once spent a whole month on World of Warcraft...I've since banned myself from it. Just too much wasted time.

Wow I did not know all of that, thanks for the update - I'm sure everyone will like to help out.

My blog is highly social-fied - I'm writing an ebook on the subject but basically a lot of my traffic comes from social network from people who are interested in social media, but I do also get a lot of traffic from search engines. A good way to bring in traffic is to blog about hot topics that people are searching for a great plugin for this is postrank it's a plugin for firefox that will show you which topics in your feed reader are hot. A good thing to do is blog about those topics - don't copy but write the article in your own words and add your own opinion. I originally did post to some directories, and rss directories which may bring in some of the traffic, you can also use google trends to find good hot topics to blog about. If the topic is hot the search engine traffic will come. and yes a top level domain is absolutely huge. It's just $9 ($1 if you go with a .info domain, but there is a lot who suggest that .info's don't carry as much weight as .coms)

This blog gets about 1000 unique hits daily and Blog Contest Site is growing pretty good as well and gets another 500-1000 unique hits daily. Majority of my money comes from aff networks like Market Leverage, CJ, and after that I get a lot from Adbrite.

First off I love skype and use it as my primary phone. Secondly, I don't like ebay. Thirdly, I'd like to see Skype survive at whatever it takes - I'm sure the original owners and developers would be much better at running it, but as long as it remains up - I'm good to go.

Thanks - I actually wrote the post in 2007 -- but it was lost, and I'm getting 404 errors from it. I'm trying to fix my seo by making sure that all 404's at least post somewhere. Luckily the Wayback Machine has a copy of the content, so I'm reposting it, and linking to it via a 301 redirect.. I know complicated, lol.

Thanks Alex - I definitely will - I'm sure it will help w/ the growth of the blog. It will at least help w/ monetization.

"whites", "blacks", "yellows", "browns", etc are not inherently good, bad, pretty, ugly, evil, malicious, or any other thing - each person is created equal under god - and their independent decisions are what makes them good or bad. Blacks have committed crimes and murders, whites have, asians have, latinos have, indians have, etc etc etc.... the world is becoming a smaller and smaller place - we should all be able to live here peaceably together why fight over differences it's stupid.

Yes I have, and all I got was automated replies and form letters, they have been no help at all. I even reported once that I had weird click activity - so that I couldn't get blamed for it and instead that may have actually led to my account suspension as if it's my fault when some reader of my blog clicks 10+ ads. If that's so I could latch out at competitor blogs by just clicking on their adsense ads and getting them in trouble.

thanks for your reply - We need more people like us to join forces and fight back somehow. I for one hate being whipped by google. Google definitely needs to meet it's david (google being goliath).

@MLDina: No problem - I've only been with MarketLeverage a short time, but I'm very satisfied not only with the money, ad programs but the customer service is probably the best of any aff network I've ever been in.

@Justin: I won't be doing posts that will only appear for newsletter subscribers - Garry Conn does have a script though that does that - he charges $1 for top articles, and gives it free to newsletter subscribers -- I will be putting together a PDF ebook every week or two, and blog aobut it - and offer it to my newsletter subscribers.

@doesitreallymatter: I'll make a deal - you stop being so rude, and I'll proofread my ebooks better than a blog post that I hastily wrote at 4am.

@Angel Cuala: I understand - I appreciate the RSS subscribe - glad to have ya reading my humble blog.

@TrainingGuru: Thanks for the advice, I am working on it myself - but they make things seem easy, eh..well not easy - but they have like a 100% success rate.

@Internet Business Blogger: I get about 25% of my readers from twitter. Each of my posts are submitted to twitter though -which brings in a lot of curious readers.

@colleen: I hadn't either - perhaps he is in one of the international biggest losers - or is one of the trainers that work off camera for biggest loser.
