Free, Good & Fast
input for my blog is hard to come by. My mom told me it looked and worked great, and people who know more tend to be “for money.” Don’t get me wrong, my mom is wicked good at COBOL and dBASE.
But just like the little bee in that one music video, I know there exists a place for people just like me. If anyone has any ideas, please email me at:
or at twitter as nogrrlsallowed. Thanks!
Paid or Free for WSJ.com?
Murdoch’s Choice: Paid or Free for WSJ.com? WSJ might be following the NY Times in making their newspaper site free as well. However, what surprised me about the article was the total audience per year that is quoted. Apparently, WSJ online has about 14 million unique visitors per year which is very odd because weblogtoolscollection.com had an audience of about 1.2 million unique visitors since the beginning of this year. They might also be talking about absolute unique visitors, and is that was the case, weblogtoolscollection.com had about 600,000 of them since the first of this year. I wonder how many absolute unique visitors TechCrunch has.
TechCrunch40 List 2007
TechCrunch40 List 2007: The 40 or so companies in the TechCrunch40 list of companies that will either go live at the event or shortly thereafter. I have tested some of the software from companies on this list and they are all quite exciting. I was invited by a couple to attend their presentations or talk with them afterwards but I rarely get out to conferences and this weekend was no exception.
PubMatic
PubMatic: I have worked closely with these guys after reading about them on Techcrunch and I was pleasantly surprised. Rajeev was very easy and friendly to work with and he is a good listener (which is a rarity in this web 2.0 world). Use Pubmatic to increase your Google AdSense revenue by letting them determine the best colors for your AdSense ads and also letting them choose the best advertising network for your ads. This does work. My blogs are terrible when it comes to Adsense and there was a 30% increase in revenue when I switched. I just wish (ethical) advertising revenue was as easy to come by as John Chow makes it sound!
