Denied: BlogRush

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on February 19th, 2008

So, before I started this site I applied to BlogRush for UltimateRedskins. I got the referral from my friend at PhoFuki. He had started his site around the same time I did and I figured since he was accepted, I would be as well.

Well…as my luck has been going with these types of thing, I was denied.

Ok, fair enough. I didn’t even think about it again till I got my ranking on Alexa. I reapplied but this time for Bloggintown. I had to be a shoe-in, right?

Apparently not. Here’s what they wrote: (more…)

My quest to get Page Ranked

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on February 19th, 2008

I’m relatively new to blogging and especially blogging for money, so up until a couple weeks ago I had never heard of page rank – much less Alexa. Well, I think I hooked up with a girl named Alexa back in High School but let’s leave that for another blog.

Anyway, after Text Link Ads (click here for the post) denied me because I didn’t have a high enough ranking, I realized: I gotta get recognized.

So, I started my research. (more…)

Adding: Widgetbucks

I got accepted to WidgetBucks the other day.

Earn $$ with WidgetBucks!

Originally, I submitted for UltimateRedskins and then just this morning put the code on this site (as you can see on the sidebar). It’s a lot easier to set-up than Adsense and doesnt conflict contextually either.

I like the look of these ads and they claim to have as high a rate as Adsense. I’ll see about that and report it back here when I get some hits on it.

I also replaced Amazon Ads. I might put them back up but not as big… maybe a single item?

Hacking the Verizon Voyager to get Sirius Radio

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on February 11th, 2008

I’ve been jealous of the iPhone since it came out so when I saw that Verizon had something coming out called the Voyager that was compatible, I had to have it. It was my Christmas present to myself and I love it. It’s everything I’ve wanted in a phone and what’s the best is that I didn’t have to switch providers to get it.

Anyway, I love Howard Stern and I’ve tried and tried to listen to Sirius Radio on the phone since day 1 but finally figured out it just wouldn’t work.

Then last week, I got an idea: What if I used my phone’s blue tooth and pair it with my PDA. (more…)

Text Link Ads Strangeness

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on February 4th, 2008

So, on Thursday I got an e-mail telling me that I was accepted into Text Link Ads for Ultimate Redskins. I had thought they rejected me a couple weeks ago…but I was like, “Whatever.”

I logged on and downloaded the WordPress widget they provide for you. After installing it, they sent me an e-mail that said they had just spotted the widget and I would have the ads running in 48 hours.

That was the good part. Now the strange part.

On Sunday I get another e-mail saying that my site was rejected due to”limited link popularity.” What? Weren’t they supposed to know that before they accepted my site?

So now I’m bummed.
