Izea is working really hard to get the message out about Real Rank.  Which you can sign up for at IZEARanks.com.  I had my doubts about Real Rank in the begining but I really like the way this service is shaping up.  My biggest concen is in the beginning it looked like Real Rank was […]

I  have commeted on both the Positive Aspects of Real Rank along with the Negative Aspects of Real Rank.  If you read my negative post you will recall one of my issues was that for advertisers buying posts via PayPerPost/IZEA they specify RealRank in terms of 1-9.  Where a blogger with a real rank of […]

Originally I was going to do a video course on all of this showing how to do it step by step and sell it for say 19-29 dollars.  I still will if enough people commit in advance to buying it and I think it would help a lot of less technical people get it all […]

Since PayPerPost started I have been a huge fan.  They have up until now done everything right.  They kept everything above board with the Disclosure Policy Requirement.  They provided great control for advertisers (I have used them to advertise massively) where you could filter by geographic region, alexa traffic, google PR and many other criteria.  […]

I am about tired of this topic so before I just become totally fed up with it I had better say my piece on the whole mess.  To me the simple reality is this, there will never be a way to know 100% if links are purchased or traded for or natural.  No matter what […]

I was just reviewing a video about a new service called Socialstream which is a joint project between Google and Carnegie Mellon University and it is designed to take social networking to a new level.  Based on the ease of use and integrated viral network components I also think the real goal is to reach […]
