Blog Changes – Monetizing, Pimping and Technorati
Aug 23 2007
Some of you may have noticed that I’m experimenting with moving things around in my sidebars. I’ve also taken advice from Wendy at eMomsatHome and have begun monetizing the blog. Since I didn’t win the lottery, I will have to rely on other means to make money to support my entrepreneurial addiction!
So if you want to buy anything from Amazon (i.e., gift certificates, books, baby stuff, etc.) please use the Amazon links on our site as we will get a tiny cut of the transaction. Go ahead and add a gift certificate to your Amazon shopping cart right now by clicking on the Amazon icon. You know you want to! 🙂
I was also accepted into the BlogHer Ad Network and am looking forward to seeing some really relevant and nice ads from them. Finally, I submitted our blog for Text Link Ads. So far I’ve only had one Spammer try to buy an ad on the site, and I respectively declined.
The biggest change is still yet to be determined: A new blog header and logo. I have entered Randa’s Pimp My Blog contest and the last day for entries is August 24, 2007. I’m not sure how or if I can get more entry credits but here’s another plug for the contest. I really enjoyed reading her recent Blasts from the Past post. She points to several of her posts and guest posts she’s done in the last 7 months…there is some great stuff there!
Finally, since I’m moving away from the status of newbie blogger and into the realm of ‘know enough to be dangerous’ blogger, I realize now that breaking the 1,000,000 mark on Technorati was not something to brag about because I reached a rank of 500,000 fairly soon afterwards and now I’m at about 265,000. Which is great news but I’ve since discovered that it gets harder and harder to move up the higher you go because you are competing with all the other wonderful blogs out there run by professional bloggers! But if you subscribe to my feed (hint, hint) and ADD Babble Soft’s Blog to your Technorati favorites (hint, hint), the higher we’ll be ranked and more amazing people like you will find our blog!
