in Bloggers Are Kind of The Biggest Deal Online on The Friday Traffic Report
I agree with the title and the reason for it, but I don't think I would agree with the idea that ads is the best way to go for monetization. Just because most people don't have their own products to sell doesn't mean they shouldn't.
The key is to do BOTH.

in Twitter is a Cash Cow in the Making on Marketing Pilgrim
There are multiple ways Twitter could make money. Increased API limits being one of them. I can see some kind of "Twitter Pro" account or something with some perks. Several high-use users would probably go for it. Me being one of them. :)

in Easy blog contests to get more readers and followers… on The Friday Traffic Report
I saw that contest from Shoe and it got my inner marketer all a-tizzy. I have done things like this before for my largest blog, and I can attest that it does work. Great advice.

in Chicago Tribune Bankruptcy means bloggers beware. on Fugitive Marketing. Invisibly Influencing the Internet.
As I've always said, this recession is going to be a time of adjustments. Smart bloggers will do very well. Others will fall off the radar. Those who take it seriously and really learn their skills will come out shining.
Great post. I'll blog this to my readers tomorrow. :-)

in TechCrunch Among First to Adopt Facebook Connect on Marketing Pilgrim
I connect with people I don't know on Facebook all the time. I am a pro blogger and use it to connect to readers, biz contacts, family - whoever. And I juse use Friend lists to distinguish between them.
As a blogger, you WANT to have a relationship with your readers. And Facebook is another great platform for that. I see no reason to artificially limit that.

in Why Faceless Untargeted Ads Will Exist For a Long Time on Chris Brogan
Yes, programs like Adsense will always work and that is why. I myself use them, but I do other things, too. As a pro blogger, I make $12K-$15K per month. Advertising is a big part of that, but I also have a premium membership program and about an equal portion comes from that.
Affiliate commissions can be a big source of revenue, but I have personally found that Amazon.com is a tough way to make money. Their payout is pretty low when compared to other programs you could promote.

in Dear Twitter- I'll Give Back SO Much Space on Chris Brogan
Very true. And yet another reason why I dislike DMs altogether. Email is better anyway. Twitter is for public messaging, not DMs. But, hey, that's just me.

in Own Your Store on Chris Brogan
Good analogy. Like every downturn, there are those who will be sitting pretty when things shoot back up again. Those people are the ones who took control of things during the downtime. Took control of their shop, so to speak. :-)

in Are you blogging for money or for fun? on The Friday Traffic Report
Great post. For me, it is fun AND for money. I am a full-time blogger and make about $11K-$12K month at it. It is a lot of work, but I enjoy almost every moment of it. Yes, almost. :-) There are a few "gotta do's" but, overall, its had to believe I get paid sometimes. :-)

in Do You Have To Touch Every Conversation on Chris Brogan
I'm on Twitter and Friendfeed because, for me, that's where my "fish" are. Facebook, too. As for the others, I don't worry about them for the same reason as Chris.

in New York Screws Affiliate Businesses on David Risley
Don't get discouraged. There are many affiliate programs that may just eat this cost as a cost of doing business. From a business sense, pulling out of New York may not make a lot of sense. So, you can still do it, Frank.
But yeah, the state sure isn't making it easy.

I can understand the "simple to write" part. If you couldn't tell, it was a little hard to put into words my thoughts on this. This blog post seemed a bit like a ramble, but I posted it anyway. :)
But, I agree with your point. Thanks for the post fodder.

in Debating Disqus - Seems Stupid on David Risley
Ontario, that already happened. :) I questioned FriendFeed's noise level in a post a few days ago.
Scoble, I do like the centralization of Disqus, as you do. It is just concerning to add a second point of failure. Honestly, if the Wordpress folks did it, I'd be a little less concerned.

in Disqus Saved My Site! on SheGeeks
Great post, but that remote hosting is still a sticking point for me. I have reliable hosting for my sites and I'm not worried about losing them. However, if Disqus goes out of business, I will have lost all my comments (as you pointed out). I consider that a risk which outweighs many of the benefits.
New tiny companies rise and fall all the time. We do not know where Disqus is going to fall in that mix.

in No, Links are NOT Dead, Scoble and Gillmore on David Risley
Yeah, I'll just leave the post as it was originally. Seriously, I got into a chain of Google "did you means" trying to find the right spelling for his name. Guess I'm a pile of fail on that one. Touche.
The only downside for me has been the inability to import comments, which idssomething that their team is working on. For today it's keeping me from embracing it, but I suspect, in the not to distant future I'll be back.
