My thought of the day. We are all obsessed with ourselves and what we are personally doing, but it’s also important to take the time to help others, and then, with that karma, we will prosper.

So, if you want comments, comment. If you want people to check out your ads, take the time to look at those of others - you might find something that interests you. If you’re going to buy something online, do it through an affiliate link. See a sad and low feedburner number? Sign up for the RSS feed of that blog.

Feel good, and let karma (sure you can mix it with a little SEO) aid your blog in reaching its full potential. Now I will go out and pick wild flowers, after which stopping to meditate… or maybe not.

Update on my JohnChow.com Entrecard Experiment

July 21st, 2008 | Posted in entrecard, internet marketing

The results of my 4000+ Entrecard credit expenditure on Johnchow.com are in! How did it work out, you ask? Well… my widget had a decidedly poor performance. While I didn’t have overly high hopes, I thought it would do decently, as I’ve had results in the 50 + range from at least five other blogs. Johnchow.com only provided 33 clicks on my widget, which would be OK and even good from most blogs, but in this case, provides an appalling 124 credits per click. (well, at least that’s the number according to my limited math skills).

So what’s the conclusion? Well, results may vary, but I’m going to stay away from the very high priced blogs, and continue to use my credits on more mid-priced sites, as well as cheap new blogs, as I find they are often a good bargain.

Oh, and a shout out to the sites that I have had the most success with my EC ads on. Most of these blogs feature the widget above the fold, or at least pretty close, so that may be one indicator of why they are good for advertisers. I recommend you check them out:
