I was checking out the Blog Engage blog today and noticed that Brian is starting a cool weekly feature.  It is called the weekly word challenge and the way it works is bloggers in the community will create a post on their blog about the topic of the week.  This weeks topic is Marketing and Promotion.  These are two topics that I write about often, in fact, promoting your blog  is one of the four categories...

I hope everyone has been enjoying a long holiday weekend.  I know I have and I am dreading heading back to work tomorrow.  As I write this I am smiling as the Eagles just came back to win against the Redskins. If you are a new reader to my blog, every Sunday I write a blog post where I link to the best blog posts that I have read during the week.  This seems to be a popular series and has really had a positive...

I have been writing a lot about the best ways to make money on Twitter and you may have read my posts, Sponsored Tweets vs. Adly or Sponsored Tweets or Adly Comparison this past month and I wanted to follow up on these posts and provide some tips to help you get the most out of Sponsored Tweets.  We might not be able to make thousands like John Chow but I believe we could make hundreds if we set things up correctly...

I was checking out the Extreme John blog, like I do every day and came across an awesome post called 25 Wordpress Plugins you might dig .

First off, if you do not know who Adam Lambert is you are probably either 70 years old or older or do not own a TV.  Last night Adam Lambert performed...

I am a little late getting this Sunday’s edition of the top blog post round up.  I have been busy all weekend getting ready for the holidays.  I was actually putting up Christmas lights all day today, it was a sunny 60 degrees here in Philly.  I couldn’t ask for a nicer weekend.  Anyway, back to the task at hand.  For the past 4 months I have been highlighting the top blog posts that I have...

I finally added the blog engage plugin to my blog.  I have been talking about it for months and finally got around to doing it.  Guess what..it took less than 30 seconds, not sure why I waited so long. What is Blog Engage? Many serious bloggers already know all about Blog Engage and several famous bloggers like Extreme John and Hesham are big fans.  The leader in the Rookie Blogger contest, Gautam from Blog...

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post  about the two leading twitter ad networks and the fact that I was going to give them both a test drive.  I received an email from Adly today announcing that they added a referral program.  My reaction was, its about time, what were you waiting for.  Anyway, that email reminded me that I was going to write a follow up to my original post and let you all know how things...
