Comment on The Law of Unintended Consequences and No-Follow by Doug Stewart

Doug Stewart — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 05:51:46 +0000

Of the major reference sites (e.g. Wikipedia, yahoo answers, answers.com, answerbag.com) which depend on the public community to build their information database, it appears that most use no-follow. Are there still any that credit their contributors (allow links without putting on the nofollow attribute)?

Comment on BlogEngine.NET vs. Wordpress Updates – August 21st by pwayboy

You would be a fool to choose BlogEngine over WordPress. BlogEngine totally sucks.

After using BlogEngine for a year, I tried WordPress and it totally rocks.

Comment on Do Apple’s Fanatic Fans Deter Sales? by al

Apple is like the freaking borg, I do not want to join them, thats why I don’t have any apple products, and probably never will ( that is until they stop “thinking different” ) and actually put out some competitive prices.

My two reasons for not buying apple products are, crazy weirdo fanboys, and prices that are two, and even 3 times higher than they should be.

Sorry there, I still don’t get the “Callback Url” part. How can I get that? I’m using XP + PHP5 + Apache2.2 + MySQL5.1
Thanks in advance ^^

Comment on Email Marketing is Not Spam, And Vice Versa by David Moshe

David Moshe — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:26:33 +0000

Thanks for an excellent article.
Are there actual guidelines published by any government agency?
What is one of the criteria in what you call -Mail Marketing is not there (such as it is only unsolicited but has everything else)?
Is the number of actual emails sent a determining factor in what is called SPAM?
For example, let’s say all the criteria you mentioned is there- can one send out 50,000 emails in one day?

Comment on Understanding the Insignificance of Your Web Traffic by Jonathan Bailey

You are so right, Aaron. We just had this conversation this morning at our weekly staff meeting, where we were reviewing analytics on our blog and traffic counts, sources, etc. Everyone was much more interested in length of time on the site and page views, not so focused on number of visits. Bottom line – is the blog (or website) accomplishing the marketing goal? Who ever listed web traffic counts as a marketing goal? (Rhetorical question I guess).

I know a blogger who’s alexa is around 4k, around 450k-500k unique visitors every month. His monthly earnings = US $20k -25k
Actually it all depends on how effectively and page centered monetization has been done.

Comment on Two quick BlogEngine.NET bug reports, plus how BlogEngine.NET handles traffic waves by my girlfriend blog

I think writing your own blog engine is a great idea. And the best part is that you don’t have to bother with someone else’s list of required features. You code it to your needs and leave the rest out. Then add more features as you need them.

If they were smart, and I certainly hope they are, they should try an actual real advertising service. They should really link up with this company Ive been using for a while now. http://adwido.com. They are Very reliable and prompt at getting my message out.

Comment on Monetizing Facebook Applications by Grant

Grant — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 05:39:23 +0000

I disagree with your assertion about content. Let me be the first one here to say that I am an avid player of the mafia wars game application on FB… I would never waste my valuable and precious time on facebook but for that game… ( and I don’t use the game to communicate with friends except in the context of the game play). Quite frankly, FB communication vehicles are the most ardous I’ve ever encountered in my life. You’ve also overlooked something else, about monetization. In so much as that game holds my interest, I have been tempted to purchase relevant electrons (if you will) on the promise that the ‘game experience’ becomes heightened… Not on any hope that my communication is sustained or even improved. Finally, about 2998 out of the 3000 apps you mentioned are really just crap…plain and simple… It’s as though were in a giant cracker-jack box, but there is no candied popcorn and peanuts (no content) .. instead Its an empty box, full of useless prizes that you somehow correalte and confuse as motivational artifacts to get me to spend a dollar. Get real folks! THe way you’ve manifested your communication model (Face book’s dumbass error handling user penalties for abuse not withstanding) is simply not ‘all that’. How about adapting your model to include the “self actualized” at a reasonable price that isn’t gonna disappear in three months. (Can you imagine if your house was built on the principles you hoc here??)

I’ve ranted enough..

Thank you

I fully agree.
Unique visitors doesn’t mean anything unless we push them to a specific action on our site.

It also depends on the niche market your blog is about.For some niche markets, visitors come on your site for a specific action and it is easy to forecast what you can earn from your blog.

Good post… I run a blog that does no follow and it ranks very well. We try to emulate Wiki because of its strength on Google. But know with Bing I wonder what that will do.

The site I visited before this one hosted an open source project that does what you want on IIS. Search for “managed fusion” + rewrite and you will find it.
