As with a lot of places, they purport to tell the blogger what may or may not be the content of their posts... Most of the people who advertise on Entrecard don t give two figs what the content of the blog they re advertising on is, as long as their ad is seen and possibly clicked on... Besides, I don t have time to go through and try to drop 300 cards a day, per blog, when 99% of the blogs are loading so slowly, even on a high speed connection, that it takes far too long to drop them... Entrecard you don t own the blogs, you have NO RIGHT to state what they have on them... If someone doesn t want music when they load a blog, by all means, they can stay away from the blogs that have it... I avoid sites that I know have music on them all the time, because I realize that it is the site owner s right to have it on there, because it is their site... … View Post »

If there are PR requirements for a particular post - A) the post should not be able to be assigned to a blogger if they don t meet them, and B) the PR requirements should be on the details of the assignment so bloggers can bypass them if they know their blogs don t meet with the requirements... … View Post »

I have no idea what I m doing with any of the settings at all... From what I can tell, none of the comments are actually held for moderation no matter what I do... … View Post »

No matter what I picked for keywords, etc, I always seemed to get ads that were completely inappropriate for my site or the same ads all the time... In three months of having ad boxes, I made less than $2.00... The people from Project Wonderful said it was because of my traffic ratings, but in reality it is because their system allows people to bid nothing on my ad space and get an ad... Well, that s fine except that all they have to do is set it up so that the new price starts going forward from when the price is set and any bids already in the system for that space go for the original price... The blogs they re on are niche blogs and have keywords coded to the ads that go with the niche... Link Worth - I ve actually had some luck with them... Since I get paid via PayPal, my payout minimum is $25 and I ve been paid once and I m almost to the payout point again... … View Post »

It sounded like a great system... You create ad boxes and put them on your sites, people bid on the spaces and you make money... The only problem is, you have to have each site approved... Then you have to determine what the minimum bid is, all with Project Wonderful giving you helpful suggestions (such as leaving your minimum bid at $0.00 because advertisers will pay after they realize how good your space is)... There s no point in having something that won t pay me a dime... … View Post »

One of the biggest problems I ve noticed bloggers going through is a lack of inspiration and a lack of something to blog about... Blogging has, in a large way, become about getting paid for doing so... A lot of blogs have become so filled with advertising in posts that their readership has disappeared... On both of those blogs, I have decided that I must have at least 2 non-sponsored posts before I can post another sponsored post, in an effort to take back my blogs and make them mine again, instead of an advertising gold mine... At one time, I d had a blog that was dedicated to the Blog365 project... I d actually been following a blog that was giving out ideas of what to blog about for each day, but I couldn t follow along because I could never seem to blog about what the day s subject was... I have been thinking of doing something like that on this blog - giving out some ideas for people to use, or not, for blogging aids if they can t think of anything... I ll probably post two or three for the day, just so people who happen to come here and take the ideas will have more than one thing to try and blog about... … View Post »

Disqus is a blog commenting system... Previously I had been using the built in comment system for WordPress along with a plugin that allowed me to respond both on my site and via e-mail to a comment... LOL But in all fairness, I decided that while I like posting comments via Disqus, I don t know anything about the way Disqus runs from the admin side of comments... I ll post back here when I ve formed an opinion of how Disqus is working for me... … View Post »

I just found out that I was docked $6 worth of money owed to me for a missing/forfeited post... I sent them a message asking what was up... I informed them, with a copy and paste, that I did not have any information as to what the post in question was... As there was 8 months between your latest and your previous post it s likely the warning was there for some time to resubmit that post that couldn t be found... I didn t have any warnings on their site... So now, 8 months later, you dock me for a post that s missing and can t even tell me which one it is?... I was punished with a declined post because Smorty s system allowed me to take a post that I d supposedly already taken on that blog... … View Post »

I ve used them for a few years now and I love them... I have a couple of domain names that are going on their 4th year of registration and have always been registered through them... It was literally the only way to do it, AND it was $75 to register a domain for 2 years... Yeah it was expensive as hell to do it, but it was also $10 years ago... In any case, I love GoDaddy... … View Post »
