My blog buddy found a website that is based in Singapore which matches blogs with businesses who would like to try blog advertising. Businesses, usually ecommerce sites, will place a button banner on the sidebar of the blog and the blogger will receive SG$3 for thirty days that the advertisement is live.

Placing banners like this is much like the local ad company, Nuff…nang… except that for the local company, we have to place a script on our blog at all times. The similarity is in the assignment of ads based on Page Rank, traffic and what not.

However, do they realise that SG$3 per month is too low? I don’t know, blog real estate is pretty expensive if you ask me and it’s a banner and not a text link.

The thing that amuses me is that with so many blogs scrapping bottom, they do not really reflect their true value anymore.

I read in a forum that a blogger received threats from a reader that she will be dropped from the RSS Feed reader if she published too many blog posts in a day. Oh dear, what has the world become of that a reader dictates how many posts a blogger can publish in a day?

If you have any of my blogs in your feed reader, you will notice that on some good days, I will be publishing more than ten posts in one day in a single blog. And nobody minds, luckily.

I just want to say that we should not allow others to dictate when we post, how we post and the times we post them. Why? Because it is our own blog and we are the ones paying for our hosting, you know?

So, write as many or as little as you like in a day. People would get used to it!

A couple of weeks ago, I received an email asking me to remove one of my old sponsored posts so I did it at once. Later, I understand that a group of people who also received this same email did not act at once so the sponsor got worried and offered these people $100 each just to remove the post.

I think this is very unfair that people who acted at once were deprived of this bonus and left in the cold while those who dilly dallied were given a pat on the back. Well done for not listening to instructions.

Feeling sour, yea, of course you would feel the same too if you think of the value of $100 and the things it could do especially at this point when the ranks have tanked to the bottom.

We could, of course, just place the post back since it’s in draft mode and not deleted and then $100 will not be enough. So you gotta play fair, you know?
