You know, as a blogger with so many blogs to fill, I have written on many things, companies, websites, services, et cetera. I love sharing my discoveries of these new and not so new things on the internet even if I was not paid to do so or my blog is not as widely read as I hoped.

Anyway, if I have written on YOUR company, website or service and if you came to my blog from searching for your keywords through Technorati or Google Blog search, Bloglines or whatever, I hope you will drop me a comment. It would definitely cheer me up. David Sifry of Technorati did, Rick Calvert of BlogWorld did. I hope I hear from YOU too!

I do reply to my comments but I am currently behind as I have more posts to write, so if you have left me a comment, sit tight and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Well, I just received word from the Boss regarding my 3-pronged link baiting project. He says that it is a little complicated for the average blogger to understand.

Plus, I do understand his concerns business-wise. Heck, I am in business too but let’s see, if he accepts my proposal, there will be more to come. If not, either I do it alone or take my business else where.

I, of course, hope that we can see through my project together and forge a good working relationship. So I will be waiting for his final answer later in the week. Will keep ya all posted!

So, after long contemplation on whether to run a contest or to buy links, I have decided to do two in one shot! Yay… don’t ask me what is my budget but I am going to do it through one of the local advertorial companies. Let’s see what the reply is from the Boss. Well, I wrote to him last evening and have yet to receive a reply from him.

Some people may think that it would be too expensive but then I think that what I earned from blogging will be spent back on my blogs. This is a long term plan anyway and hope my money will not be wasted 😀

I hope that my plan will yield the desired results. Wish me luck!

There is one particular advertiser that a friend of mine called “Cheapskate”, I have dealt with him before from Marketplace A and found him to be thoroughly generous. This advertiser also opens his opportunities in Marketplace B which requires bidding from bloggers. I never bothered with jobs from there because most advertisers here would not bother with rejecting bids and that gives me the feeling that they are only fishing for the best rate from bloggers who have better blog stats, and such.

In Marketplace C, though, I have posted for this particular advertiser a few months back and had no problems. He recently started new campaigns but required Blogs with Page Rank of 4 and above which locked me out of his jobs.

Last month, he lowered his requirements to Page Rank 3 and I was very happy, took them all, wrote them up and submitted. However, a week later, I was told that this advertiser does not want bloggers from outside North America. He did not mention it that was why we took it.

Anyway, not too long later, he opened up these opportunities once again, which I took and has not had an issue. I half expected my rating to fall but it did not.

Then last week, he opened yet more opportunities but took them out an hour later. Can you imagine my frustration of reserving them to submit only to have them yanked out like that?

The reason I even bothered was because I already wrote those posts a month ago and all I needed to do was to submit them, if I could reserve them in time. Moreover, I already gave the advertiser link juice and people even found my posts through the search engine and could read my full post and view the image despite already saved as draft. Won’t you too be frustrated to be taken for a ride?

I have written a few thousand sponsored posts that I should not be surprised with the requirements of sponsors anymore. I get the weirdest keywords that are really awkward to fit into a post that I normally write because although my English is not perfect, the least I could do is make sure that my post has a smooth flow, my punctuations are in place and my spelling is fine, except for one or two that escaped Spell Checker.

However, a couple of nights ago, I was assigned a task that I don’t really know if the sponsor made a mistake or if he seriously wanted that. The keyword was supposed to be “Business to Business” but the spelling that was given to me was “Buisness to Buisness”.

I know that some people do spell “Business” as “Buisness” but to search for “Buisness to Buisness” instead of “Business to Business” would be extremely weird.

Well, as a professional, I left the spelling as it is and hope that they don’t come back to me to say that they made a mistake and wanted it change. I don’t have the time to back track my posts.
