Link Lovin’ And Some Announcements

  • Sharebar

Hi guys, another great week here in Melvin Blog and it means its time for another Link Love (words borrowed from Net Fool :) ).

Before everything starts here. Let me remind everyone that there’s a small contest running here in MelvinBlog that would end at the end of this month. The contest has 12 great prizes up for grabs and there are 12 participants thus far. If the contest ends today, no doubt everyone is bound to win! Make sure to check it out.

So this week has been great as I can read a lot of blogs now because my summer vacation has started. A lot of great posts have been produced this week and here they are:

Shoemoney’s post discusses a very interesting topic which I think is a must read for all make money online blogger. Balkhis (or his wife?) puts up a nice post about how blogs and online presence could influence your life. My buddy Carl does a list of how a banner can totally suck someone’s eye. Tom from SOB writes a very realistic article about stuffs that are way more important than a blog and lastly Caroline gives her readers some tips on monetizing email lists.

Just Acquired AffiliateHat.com

Well in a seemingly fast pace of life, I just acquired an affiliate marketing blog. The former owner was a great friend of mine who happened to be real lazy in typing posts. Brim is a super affiliate and obviously who would want to exert more effort on something that would give lesser money? Just in case you don’t know, the blog is an affiliate marketing blog that focuses more on newbies trying to get off the ground and fly them to the outerspace. joking… Well I really like to domain name of it and now that I have it I am so excited. Because I was, I immediately replaced the generic ugly looking theme with the premium UBT theme and wrote the first post. I have also fetched some freelance writers to write for the blog since I couldn’t afford to write on two blogs with almost same topic. But anyway I would still love to have writers, so if you write about that certain topic you can mail me using my contact form with your rates and samples. If you feel it’s a nice blog, then feel free to subscribe to it. :)

      to be brutally frank my dear, I haven’t even thought of flipping when I acquired the site. And to be honest, I don’t know what’s the future of the site (monetization-wise) :)

      I’m just curious on why you get a blog with almost the same topic as this blog? I don’t see the sense of it.

      @nhick, i dont know either. =p well melvinblog is more of a personal blog which contains slang words and criticisms while affiliate hat is strictly affiliate marketing and one with more professional writeups..

      Nice buy! I just seen that name (affiliate hat) somewhere earlier today, but can’t remember where.

      Oops! I am going to join in now. Hope there is still time.

      Why not just buy a website instead of another blog. A website is easier to maintain.
