Jericho: No More Nuts

Here's the best idea I've heard yet and I'm in total agreement.

"Nuts were really effective in the original Save Jericho Campaign and in my opinion that is where they should stay. There are far too many ways for the use of nuts in a new campaign to be used against us. Rather, I think we should use our imaginations and come up with an original center piece for saving season 3. I think it would be best if this new approach were achievable without spending much money."


"CBS Television Stations has launched a new program to get its local news headlines onto blogs and social-media sites, the CBS division said Monday.

Called the CBS Local Ad Network, it's a way for participating region-focused blogs to pull in extra cash by embedding CBS news widgets on their sites and splitting the revenue of accompanying ads with CBS.

Bloggers can't just embed a widget and hope for profits, CBS Television Stations Digital Media Group president Jonathan Leess told CNET News.com. "There's a screening process, obviously," he said. "We have to figure out or get some visibility into what the content is on that site, and then we screen, but we have a third party (Syndigo Networks) that administers all this for us."

Talking Entrecard

It seems everybody is talking about Entrecard. I signed up as it's free advertising. It reminds me of a turbo-charged traffic exchange except better.

"Entrecard is the first and only free exchange network for 125x125 ads. Through this revolutionary platform, you can advertise your own 125x125 Entrecard on any blog in the network, for free, for a number of days.

You pay for this advertising with Entrecard Credits, that you earn for free by networking (a.k.a. visiting blogs and dropping your card for other bloggers).

This guide will explain quickly and easily the different features and functions of the Entrecard website and network."



I found this information about "8 steps to becoming an Entrecard powerhouse" and thought I'd share it. I'm doing these steps and things are looking up.



The only thing I don't like is that I'd prefer to have all my blogs under one account. It's too aggravating to use separate email addresses and switch back and forth.

Finally, some people don't post the Entrecard widget near the top of their site. I don't care to advertise when the widget is at the bottom of a page. How many people are willing to go search for that?

So try it and drop a card here.
