Thoof: Great News and Ancient Scottish Tradition

Thoof is a news and information submission site that allows users to submit to the site, providing users with personalized news. They also feature a ThoofRank Badge that shows the popularity of the news item based on the interests of users. This site aims to prevent the angry mob mentality you find on many similar sites, and seeks to respect the interests of individual users. A very easy to use interface and they have an add-on for your toolbar for easy submission.

To thoof comes from a Scottish dialect and describes an ancient tradition whereby the community would rally together and shout out the pressing news for discussion. The individuals would then keep shouting, or alternatively stay silent and stand with the person who was shouting something that seemed more pressing. The last seven people to still be speaking will then provide the discussion for the community meeting. The custom of thoofing would allow community members to decide on that which was most important for each individual member.

It seems quite fitting that they would select this name for this great peer to peer news submission site. I am glad that they have incorporated a very culturally relevant to their site, it lends it a bit of history. Check out Thoof for peer to peer personalized news.

PayPerPost Affiliate Program

I am signing up for the PayPerPost affiliate program on my Pink SEO blog, and I have had some success with this on my Pink Reviews blog, but I think that featuring this on my other blog will have even greater successes.

What is great about the PayPerPost affiliate program is that the standards are not as strict as with doing reviews, and since my other blog is so new, it qualifies!

So hopefully I will see some good things by implementing this on my Pink Internet Marketing blog.

Apogee Search

I have found another search engine marketing blog to visit - this one is maintained by Apogee Search, offering Search Marketing in Austin. This blog has great information about technical aspects of search engine marketing, as well as tips for utilizing social networking for marketing purposes. They even sport the new Sphinn It button on each post, and since Sphinn is rather new, I know that Apogee Search is "watching the news". I think I might have even seen a joke or two thrown in there, and we all know how much I love my SEO/funny combos.

A few posts I enjoyed:

Google Health et al
Why a blacksmith can never be an algorithm

So check out the Apogee-Search marketing blog to learn more about marketing your website online and in the search engines.

Go Down Under to Melbourne Australia

I have never been to Australia, but it has been my dream for a long time. My friend went years ago and had a wonderful time traveling across this beautiful continent. Melbourne is Australia's second largest city, and I know she spent much of her time there. Apparently this is a very cosmopolitan city with a lot to offer in terms of cultural diversions and the like. With the best cuisine, entertainment and sporting events, there is a lot to do in this metropolitan environment in one of the most beautiful and mysterious continents in the world for North Americans like me.

When looking for good Melbourne hotels. It is important to figure out where you will be staying prior to landing, and Melbourne has a diverse offering of hotels and lodgings. From five star to two star Melbourne accommodation, you can find something that is in your price range and CheaperthanHotels.com guarantees the cheap hotels in Melbourne.

And if you are not one for planning ahead they always have last minute deals for finding accommodation in Melbourne, and considering how much it is to fly there... some savings on accommodation would be nice.

Maybe someday I will get to fulfill my dream of seeing this beautiful continent - I spent a lot of time looking through the pictures my friend brought back of her travels. And apparently transportation was simple and she got to see much of the continent while there, and no doubt careful planning was required to determine where she would stay.

HaHa LOLcats

This site took a great idea and went with it. People love pictures of cats with captions. How could you go wrong. A blog like this does not even have to worry about link building or marketing. People will continue to link to it and talk about it so long as they continue to show cute pictures of cats and kittens with captions.

Over 10 percent click-through rate for PPP reviews

Having conducted research with over for 40 thousand bloggers and 8 thousand advertisers, PayPerPost has determined that on the average blog, there will be a 10.545% click through rate for sponsored reviews. Which is extremely impressive, as Adwords does not have near that click through rate (closer to 0.5% - 1.5%).

This means that despite skepticism that PayPerPost reviews did not actually produce traffic for the advertisers, but this shows that not only are people finding value in reading the PayPerPost reviews, but they are also clicking through to visit the advertisers site.

These findings will no doubt have a great impact on how many people look at sponsored reviews by PayPerPost. With an average ctr this high, more people will become interested in purchasing reviews, which means more opportunities for bloggers like me.

Getting bloggers to blog about your website is a great way to promote what your are doing or selling, and this is all part of a diversified advertising campaign that will launch your online venture into the spotlight.

Personally, I know that people read them because all I need to do is look at my statistics, people even comment on occasions when they have tried out the product or service. And in many cases, I myself have taken advantage of the great offers by advertisers.

So check out PayPerPost to get your site seen!
