Adtoll gives away $20 to you
It has been awhile since my last Adtoll Update, but I thought I would write this post for the people who are very interested in trying it, but are still waiting for that last clincher. Well, as of today Adtoll is giving every new customer a free $20 in advertising credit.
Just what can $20 get you? A lot more than you would actually think… Sign up to Adtoll today and you can spend your $20 to advertise on my blog completely free. You can get your 125×125 advertisement for THREE MONTHS completely free, and an entire month of my premium banner spot at the top! If you were considering trying out different ways to monetize your blog, now would be the time.
Stumpedia is a people powered search engine
A lot of people had heard about the news when Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia announced that he was going to use the same methods that created a people powered encyclopedia over to creating a people powered search engine. Sadly enough, the project was over-hyped and a terrible alpha site was released. While I hope after some bug testing that Jimmy’s search engine does well, right now things are looking troubling.
Embrace Your Readers, For Without Them You Are Nothing
This is a guest post by Jason Pereira who blogs over at The University Kid and is currently running an RSS contest with $150.00 in prizes.
Anyone that’s ever tried to run a blog should know just how important readers are… without them, you probably wouldn’t be blogging.
No one likes to blog for empty space, and readers (and comment leavers) can make the difference between you quitting after a couple weeks and you going on to become a blogging mogul. I’d say the readers have the largest impact on a blog apart from the owner – their prods and advice can refine your blogging technique and help develop your blog into a better place to visit.
Free PR9 .edu Links
Over the last few days, I have seen many people selling the “secret location” where you can get free PR9 .edu links. The threads on the DigitalPoint forums have had tons of sales ($50 each), and with such a high price you can be sure that people searched every nook and cranny to find if it was legit. Just by using a lot of free “questions” that were brought up in the thread, I did a little research. People in the forum thread were complaining that the site was running SSL (httpS://), stopping the search engines from viewing it.

Setting Goals For Blogging Success
This guest post was submitted by Sharon Hurley Hall from PiggyBankPie.
If you’re going to have a successful blog, you need to get smart with setting goals. Success does not just happen; you have to plan for it. I’ve found it to be a process of trial and error. I know a lot more about getting a new blog started now than I did two years ago – and I’ve made plenty of mistakes on the way. Here’s what I’ve learned about goal setting.
