Only A-Listers Say There’s No A-List
It’s a nice notion – that there’s no A-list – but of course there is. And everyone who isn’t on the A-list knows it. There’s even a widget out there to tell you what list you’re on! Some A-listers may say, “there’s no A-list” to avoid coming off as elitist, and the sentiment is appreciated, […]
PayPerPost Buys Pieces of Performancing.com
PayPerPost knows how to stay in the headlines. Aside from the raging debate over paid content and what that means to blogging, etc. they’ve now purchased select assets from Performancing.com. I’ve frequented Performancing for some time, reading their content, signing up for their ad network. Their site is a great resource for bloggers, but I […]
You Can Bring More Attention to Bloggers That Deserve It
Mack Collier has an idea for turning Technorati’s ranking methodology on its head.

When Your Blog Gets Pitched, Pitch Back
Bloggers are getting pitched more and more from companies and their public relations people who are looking to promote all sorts of goods. There’s a lot of book pitching, but no shortage of other products being pitched as well. Lots of A-list bloggers get pitched daily. Many are getting tired of it, mostly because there’s […]
Ted Demopoulos Stole My Book Idea
