Quick tip for blog traffic on the phone


Click Here - View Blog Explosion Users! Website



If you don't already have a reason to get broadband, find one. I like to surf websites and blogs while I'm talking on the phone. My favorite way is with an earpiece that attaches to your phone. For those of you who have a business or want to start one, this is a great way to surf the blogs and use your time more efficiently. You can treat your internet connection costs as a business expense.

If you haven't thought of starting a business of your own, now's a great time to start. You're welcome to fill out the survey at YouStepUp.com and talk with me on the phone. Check out some of my sites and get a feel for who I am:

LinkedIn is in and BlogBanners is out!


View Blog Explosion Users! Website


Here's what a friend who joined me in LinkedIn had to say today! I've now got over 900,000 people in my LinkedIn.com network and you can, too! That is, if you're interested in more than just blogging-as-life...

Loved this - when I eventually managed to access it today - my technology - not yours!

Thank you!

If you check out my main blog, WeAreGrowing, you'll notice that I got rid of the BlogBanners banner because it was just too large and I've gotten less than 20 hits in less than three weeks from it. I just don't see that its size is worth that small amount of hits. If they create a smaller banner that they don't demand be placed "above the fold" I'll give them a try again.

I urge you to use this exchange which has given me some great traffic and it gets better the more you use it. For 5-10 minutes a day, it's well worth it.

Use BlogBanners or not?


View Blog Explosion Users! Website


I sent an email this morning and got a prompt reply. The gentleman seems very polite and unwilling to add something smaller that bloggers can use. I'm not sure that bloggers want to be confined to large banners like I've got at WeAreGrowing. Visit there and see what I mean. Any opinions? Is the Blogbanner too big? Could they offer something smaller? Please let me know! You could post the following exchange on your blog, too and see if we can get them to change their policy.

Subject: Help - smaller banners


Hello.

I called when I first joined BlogBanners.com and the
man on the other end didn't know what I was talking
about when I said I was calling BlogBanners.com. I
called again and he "got it" the second time.

I really need you to create a smaller banner. I have
watched the traffic on my site and the general look of
my site and your BlogBanners banner is just way too
big. I have also noticed the traffic my blog has
received because of BlogBanners and it's less than one
hit per day.

If you look at other companies, huge numbers of them
have made available smaller banners because blogs have
a different sensibility than other websites.

I hope you'll create the smaller banner soon and
create a category for people who want to put the
banner below the fold. Would you please answer me
back right away and let me know if you intend to take
action on this?

Thanks and have a great day!

Best wishes,

Charlie Hicks-Moore

Hello Charlie,

I apologize for not getting back sooner. The thing is that our banner
exchange is settled to work with big banners 728x90. I understand your
concers concerning the size, but we're keeping it because that's where
the
standard size the online advertising industry is going. What I'm saying
is
your going to see more and more of banners like this in internet and in
the
blogosphere.

I hope my answer helps to give you some clarification.

Success,

Gonzalo
