Just Random Ramble
I’m sorry, but this post is not about anything special, just some thoughts I got in my head right now.
First of all;
I have taken away the Money Magnet widget, and realised that the service where nothing else then a kinda pyramid scheme. I haven’t sold one single widget. (which tells me I got readers that are smarter then my self! Hehe) So I consider my $20 lost, but thats totally ok.
Wheres the update?
I haven’t updated so often latly, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not active on the net, in mather of fact, I have never made so much new sites in one week before. Hehe, but, since so much of my time are used to do that, VikingBlogger got neglected this week.
Mixed thoughts about PeyPerPost
I got some mixed thoughts about me joining PeyPerPost. So far I haven’t written a review for them yet (if you don’t count the “I joined PP”-post.) and I’m not sure if I will either. First of all; to get a decent amount paid to write the post your blog need to have an high PR. A lot of people saying that Google slaps peoples PR if they use PayPerPost. That way, this blog with no PR will never get a decent PR, and then never make any talkable (my word!) amount of money. Thats an evil circle to be in. Hehe.
What I think will save PPP is to make all the links no-follow, and don’t sell themself out as an link building service. Instead it should be a service thatthat people can use to get buzz around their new sites/products)
I know it’s partly this way now, but I think it should be a fully buzz/review site with no-follow links. And for craying out loud, get rid of all the low paying ads. Who in their right mind will give away their time, blog space, and link juice for $5?
Hmm, not sure if that makes any sence for you, but hopefully you know what I mean. 
Some link love
Well, thought I could be nice to show some link love in this post. My first spray goes to my 5 top commentators.
As you can see, right now you only need to write 3+ comments to get a free link in the sidebar. Don’t know if it brings any traffic, but hey,it can’t harm you, can it?
The second, and last spray goes to a couple contests which I actually have sponsored:
Thewwwblog.com ($350 worth of prizes)
The University Kid (Kinda big contest)
And of course my own, where you can win thousands of Entrecard credits!
If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed!
Thanks for the link love Staale
Yeah the contest by Jason is just huge!
So how’s money magnet doing?

Well I am going to run with the magnet for a few weeks to see what happens with it.I only did the 10 dollar one so I am not on the hook for very much.

Staale,
I’m glad you came to your senses on the Money Magnet thing. I have no complaints about referral marketing, but selling the widget just to give someone else the rights to sell the widget just doesn’t seem right. Where is the value for the customer? Once people catch on then no one will be buying them (as you have found out). I give this marketing idea a week to go really big and another 3 days to fizzle.

that money magnet thing didn’t impressed me… The real winners are the creators.. like in all pyramid schemes…

Looks like you’re already getting groupies bud
[Reply]
Good deal VikingBlogger. I like the heads up on what is going on in the blog-world. I respect your decision to remove the magnet-scheme. Hopefully I can get some link love of my own from you in the future

I honestly thought that most people would be smarter than to buy into the money widget thing. Obviously its a good deal for the company, they keep 50% of the profits. So basically you’re short selling your selling on a MLM. I’m glad you realized this and stopped using it.
[Reply]
But the widget was cool!.. but if it doesn’t do any good, then throw it away..
Looking forward for more reviews.. I’m kinda lazy lately.. your posts helped me so much..
[Reply]
Thanks, for the “Link Love” to my blog.
Looks like I have been dropped from your top commentators though. Looks like I haven’t been that chattey lately, and haven’t really had anything important to contribute.
…don;t worry. I’ll be back!
[Reply]
I’m glad you took down that bloody widget
[Reply]
Hey, I hope I can reach the top commentators position too. I like reading your ramblings and tips…
