DISQUS

Simple, yet great post Chris! I find it especially entertaining when clients micro manage their own analytics and call me up when the slightest downturn happens. Enough to drive one crazy :-)

Chris, I would assume that the companies ask some kind of metrics from you before blindly jumping on the bandwagon or do they just give you stuff and hope for the best? Obviously you've got a large audience, world wide, but I was just wondering about the technical detail of such a 'deal'.

It's going to grow big eventually, but it won't work for everybody of course. It is however a really great way to do market research and to engage your target markets in a peer to peer way. There are great advantages in eg. consumer generated content on the SEO side and corporates are always looking for new ways to engage their customers. Keeping up with these trends will surely make them 'cool' with the crowd, no? Send those marketing dollars our way!

Or finding your content on a MFA site that integrates your feed. Prevention? Not really. Whether this influence and reach can be converted to monetary value though, would sometimes be hard to determine I guess. Another topic alltogether.

Totally agree, you'll enjoy my latest blog post :-)

I've been picking up on this for a long time. Some great opportunities awaits affiliate marketers and you're at the front of the game!

Until in 18 months time there's another social network that outperforms them. In the social networking market, if you don't innovate enough, you'll quickly become second best - exactly what happened to myspace, allthough I reckon the demographics are slightly different.

Good luck with the 'virtual conference'... Cool seeing you again the other night. Have launched yet another blog (click on my name), nothing on it yet though, but watch this space. I've decided to make that my personal blog. Will send you some kudos once I'm up and running properly.

Cheers
