Blogosphere News And Some Announcements

As you may notice, most medium cap bloggers within our niche seemed to be lackadaisical on posting nowadays. I was looking from this blog’s archive and was surprised it’s actually the same thing with this blog. 🙂

It’s not surprising though because most bloggers are either college students, or someone having a full time job so it’s easy to figure out they are busy with more important stuffs. Anyway here are some few news I’ve heard/read this past week.

Shoemoney and SEO Expert Disa Johnson’s conflict seemed to be reaching new heights. What appeared to be a done deal when Shoe actually followed what Disa requested, isn’t done after all. Disa feels pissed with the fact that Shoemoney’s blog post appears on Google for her name. Apparently Disa cared so much about her reputation and has now been doing a massive twitter campaign against Shoe. They feel pissed off against each other, didn’t they? 🙂

Desmond from Desmond Blog had just flipped his blogflippingformula site for close to $2000. It’s good to hear it considering a lot of people (I think) are doubting on Desmond’s ability to flip blogs and whether he’s genuine or not.

Pure Digital Technologies, makers of the ever so popular Flip Video Camera were selling their company and Cisco is said to be the most appealed buyer and that the price is “north of $500 million.” Founder and CEO Jonathan Kaplan is said to be taking around $80 million off the table personally. This hasn’t been confirmed. My prediction is Cisco could have it before June.

News from this blog

So I know a lot of people are eagerly waiting for the prizes they have won from my previous contest. I couldn’t contact some of the sponsors and some have said they are going to give their prize in 5 days. The list of sponsors (and their reputation) is of a good quality and I believe I would never have a problem with them. So just give me another week for releasing your prize.

Advertising on Melvin Blog

The price rates on advertising on this blog have never increased for a while. So know I’m planning to increase it. The traffic of the blog has drastically increased as well as its readership for this year so starting wednesday night the new price rates would be in effect and here they are:

125X125 – From $10 – $15 – 2 spots available

468X60 – From $15 – $25 – 0 available

Text links – From $5 to $10 – 7 available

Paid Reviews – From $40 – $55

A lot of people are telling to increase my rates even early this year but I just decided I would do it this wednesday. So if you’re promoting something and feel my blog’s niche suits it, then advertise now, before it increases…
