Facebook App Request Overload

Friday, May 23rd, 2008 | Networking with 1 Comment

Facebook AppsIs it me or does everyone get crrrazy amounts of Facebook application request? If you check out the image within this post you’ll see that as of May 23rd. I have 8 Top Friend Request, 3 Top Friends Friend Request (WTF?), 1 Event Invitation (I removed a few of theses), and 282 Other Request. I found that some of theses Facebook applications are pretty cool and useful. However, When someone adds way too many to their profile it then starts to look like a poorly made Myspace page with all that 1996 glitter crap everywhere. I don’t know if there is a limit to the amount of Facebook applications people can add to their Facebook profiles… in my opinion there should be!

When it comes to the 282 application request there are a ton of them that I just sit back and scratch my head at. If you check out the list below you’ll see some of the requests I’ve received.

Amount Application Name
16 funwall friend requests
31 group invitations
12 be a billionaire! requests
10 buy your friends invitations
12 friends for sale invitations
2 hotties for sale invitations
3 the lotto invitations
5 friend fu*k invitation
5 sticker requests
5 social me requests

See Spottt Run

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008 | Networking with 5 Comments

Spott
That’s right ladies and gentlemen I gave Spottt the boot… They really haven’t done anything for me. Granted they have this whole points system but, where in the world can I spend my points? Granted they say within their system I’ve spent alot of my points but, I haven’t seen any traffic from them. When I first joined the Spottt - Free Link Exchange service I instantly thought that they would be a mimic of Entrecard but, a little more advanced considering that they are a subsidiary of Adbrite. Well, apparently I was wrong! Below is a screen shot of my stats from February 25th, 2008 - March 12th, 2008.

Has anyone else out there gave Spottt the boot..? Or has anyone found that the Spott - Free Link Exchange service works for them..?

5 Entrecard tips to generate credits

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008 | Networking with 6 Comments

entrecard
When it comes to the Entrecard Networking Community I’ve come up with a few tips of my own that I use to generate Entrecard credits by dropping my card onto other sites within the Entrecard Community.

TIP 1.)
I create an Entrecard folder and place it along the top of my browser window. Within that Entrecard folder I create about 5 sub folders and within each sub-folder I add about 10+ of my favorite sites that have a user friendly dropping spot (above the fold). The reason I create the Entrecard folder and bookmark my favorite sites within the sub-folders is because, I open each sub-folder in Firefox tabs and tab browse each site while I drop my card and read their content.

TIP 2.) I view my drops inbox on my Entrecard dashboard and for each person who dropped a card I hold down control as I click each card and open them in a new a tab. Then I visit their site, drop my card, and read some of their content as well as comment on some of it.

TIP 3.) I participate in the Entrecard forums. Like the Daily stumbles and Entrecard Updates. By doing this I find some sites that i’ve never come across. Not only that I also come across a few good friends and regulars on their like theses guys and girls; blogging4cash.com, ideasandmoney.info, razzball.com, incomeforeveryone.info, YouShouldOwn.com, and so many others!

TIP 4.) I browse the Entrecard Campaigns for n00bs (”newbies“) and try and place my card on their site as soon as possible before their rates skyrocket. Some sites that are known are are still really cheap to advertise on that’s if you can catch them with an open spot to advertise. Here are a few known sites that I found to be cheap when it comes to EC credits; laughingsquid.com, tylercruz.com, idasia.org, and theprofithustler.com

TIP 5.) There are sites out there that are known as sites along the lines of Entrecard Browsers. Here are two that I’ve come across and I’ve tried out Sitehoppin.com and ec.createlf.com. They are both pretty good sites however, I have heard (don’t recall) that some people really don’t like the whole “entrecard browsers” because of the bounce rates they give people. But, hey that’s another story to write about… this one is just ways to show people how to generate credits.

Well this concludes my 5 tips for generating Entrecard Credits if you have any advice or if you know of any other Entrecard Browser please feel free to leave a comment. Thanks!

Spottt - Free Link Exchange

Monday, February 25th, 2008 | Blogging, Networking with 1 Comment

Spottt
I just signed up with the Free Link Exchange service called Spott.com (provided by Adbrite). The site seems to be a lot like Entrecard. However, there are alot more restrictions and they have to “Review” your submitted site. So I guess i’ll give the site a try for at least a month.. it’s what I tend to do to “new venture” that people come up with.

Entrecard oddness

Monday, February 4th, 2008 | Blogging, Networking with 1 Comment

In my opinion I think Entrecard is a great way to network with other bloggers with some of the same interest as well as other bloggers with different interest. I guess that is why I find it very odd when I go to buy advertising space with my Entrecard Credit and my site gets declined… Even when the site that i’m trying to advertise on via Entrecard has similar interest that I post about currently. I guess people don’t want to generate Entrecard credit or rank up within the Entrecard system. But, then again this will probably be the same people who complain about Entrecard in a month or two on “how it didn’t work for them“.

Interesting blogger info found

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008 | Blogging, Networking with 2 Comments

shoemoney site information

I found this very informative site a while ago however, I just recently started to use it to find different information on other bloggers in the industry and blogs that I follow in the blogging community. The site is great in my opinion and you would be amazed at some of the stuff you can come across… for instance like the image above states the following; “ShoeMoney.com is suspected of possibly being a spammer’s site, although we have done no research of our own. Below are some community projects watching Spam that may have pages listed about ShoeMoney.com ” and the site that they mention “below” is this one SiteAdvisor. When I first came across the AboutUs.org site I was a little shocked because shoemoney.com is one of the blogs I tend to read daily. So I wonder what part of all of this is really true..? Is Shoemoney.com a spammers site…? Do you have an experience with AboutUs.org and them saying your blog / website is considered spam..? Leave a comment and let me know…

Buy and Sell Facebook Apps

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007 | Marketing, Networking with No Comments »

Facebook AppsAre you looking to join in on the Facebook Application market..? Do you want to sell a Facebook application you created..? Then you might want to check out the website know as Appmrkt.com. It gives you the ability to Buy Facebook Apps that people have created. The site also allows you to sell your Facebook Apps if you have any to sell.

I found it by researching Facebook API’s and Facebook Marketing resources. The site is claiming to have “evolved to BETA Status” so it might be something worth looking into if you are looking to get a piece of the Facebook money making pie.

Advertise your Myspace Profile…

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007 | Blogging, Creative, Marketing, Networking with 6 Comments

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of one of my blogs. This same time last year ( october 31, 2006 ) I created a Blog that would allow people to promote, advertise, or simply leave a link to your Myspace profile or Myspace Band. The site is pretty well set by having 550 people who have left their Myspace profile link and it has a Page Rank of 2… where as it was a PR 4 the other day before Google did the whole page rank screw up thing. You can visit the site here and if you have a Myspace page or a Myspace Band then feel free to add yours to the growing list.

Branding yourself within community sites…

Monday, July 2nd, 2007 | Blogging, Creative, Marketing, Networking with 2 Comments

After joining a few online communities such as MyBlogLog, Blog Catalog, Bumpzee and a few others. I’ve noticed only a few people who carry over their little icons from community to community. I see this as a great way to let people know who I am when I join a community that way they recognize me by my icon and know who and what type of topics I tend to discuss.

To the left is what my icon looks like when I join a community. so when you see this little icon show up within your recent visitors list you know that I’ve visited your site.

Now a while ago I touched on the subject of people using attractive female images to entice people to click on their image just to get a visit to their community page. When this happens and I read to find out that it’s a guy using a girls image I don’t even bother to visit their site let along join their community.

A New way of Self Promotion

Monday, June 11th, 2007 | Marketing, Networking with No Comments »

I was surfing numerous blogs earlier and I came across a link to a site that allows you to promote you / your name on Google, Yahoo, or MSN… the company is called Ziki.com there is a mini presentation that shows how it is done. It’s a pretty cool concept that allows you to optimize your online visibility. So I decided to create my own profile within there community. You can find me here so if you too create a profile please feel free to add me!

Using the Female Image…

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007 | Marketing, Networking with 6 Comments

I hate it when people over use a marketing tactic… for instance with MyBlogLog or BlogCatalog people have a half-naked girl as their avatar / icon. However, once you go to click on the image to see the profile you find out that it’s a site that is ran by some guy named; Tom, Dick, or Harry. That’s great because it gets me to their profile but… it won’t get me to their blog. If they are that misleading from the beginning what makes me think their blog is even worth my time in reading…? So in a weird way it works but in the same way it doesn’t…

Google Buys another Company

Saturday, February 17th, 2007 | Marketing, Networking with No Comments »

According to SearchEngineLand and RedHerring Google has bought Adscape Media for $23 million WOW! that is crazy! I wish Google would start looking for little guys ideas to buy because I have plenty of them to offer. It seems as if Google is going a little wild theses days to buy up as much Internet properties that are doing good in order to create and advertising challenge to the smaller companies on the Internet. It’s almost like the the whole large Wal Mart store syndrome where big companies come in and buy up the area of sales where it leaves the smaller companies trying to sell the same out in the cold.
