Monetizing your blog at Blogrolled.com

Posted on May 28th, 2008 in Blogrolled.com by shawn

Blogrolled.com officially launches today and we’re pretty excited about it. This service is intended to give bloggers another way to monetize their blogs as well as providing advertisers a resource for text links and traffic to their websites. Links in a blogroll section of a blog are “dofollow” links (there needs to be a better term for this) which push link juice and help in organic SEO efforts.

Publishers can sign up their blog(s) now and will have full approval control over which advertisers’ links they post in their Blogroll. This is not an automated posting service like TextLinkAds – we use no scripts or code of any sort! All Blogroll link postings will be done manually and will be sold at a flat monthly rate depending on the publisher’s blog/website metrics.

Advertisers will be able to search an inventory of Bloggers/Publishers offering links in their Blogroll. The theme and metrics of a blog will be shown, but bloggers’ URLs will not be revealed until a purchase is completed.

Post your comments here or send them to support@blogrolled.com. We hope to continue tweaking the service over the next few weeks/months according to user suggestions.

Online reputation monitoring

Posted on May 23rd, 2008 in Reputation Management by shawn

We’ve had several clients contact us lately regarding concerns about their identity online and in the search engine listings. Depending on the situation, there are many ways to tackle the issue of reputation management.

Up until now, we’ve used Google Alerts to attempt to keep track of these types of issues, both internally and for clients. Now I think there may be a tool that trumps Google Alerts – and then some. It’s called Trackur and it is going to be put to good use by our company from now on!

Intro to our SEO blog

Posted on May 2nd, 2008 in Search engine optimization by shawn

Well, here goes nothin’… I’ve been thinking about getting this blog rolling – and should have done it long ago – but I get so busy reading other blogs that there never seems to be time to do it. There are a billion SEO blogs out there, and I’m not sure I can add a whole lot of original information, but at the very least I hope to make this a good resource for our clients. I’ll see what I can do about posting to this regularly!
