Google Buys Yet Another Big Site: Feedburner.com
Written by admin on August 16, 2008 – -I know this may be old news but I just wanted to mention it, Google buys out Feedburner.com to add to their empire of taking over the internet.
I’m sure you guys know Google is/has been buying a bunch of big sites and I can guarantee you we, as internet surfers and webmasters, will suffer from it soon. Well, more on the lines of webmasters and definitely the affiliate marketers out there.
But the most recent Google buyout of Feedburner got me a little mad. I’m sure Feedburner owners got a pretty good chunk of change for selling their rights to their site but right off, the Feedburner users are the ones getting affected by it.
I’m sure if you have over 100+ subscribers, you’ve recently seen a large decrease in your stats. Well, apparently Feedburner didn’t count a bunch of Google Feeds.
Well, I guess there shouldn’t be a surprise there!
Now, if you have also been logging into your account, you’ll notice that Feedburner stats doesn’t get updated as frequently and there seems to be more problems. And I have a feeling a large part of it is due to Google taking it over.
We’ll see what ends up happening but the more people that get affected by these problems, the more people are going to start looking for alternatives!

FREE Weekly Advertising Winners E-mailed!
Written by admin on August 9, 2008 – -Like I said, if you stay subscribed to my RSS Feeds via e-mail then every week you have a shot at getting free advertising. Well, I e-mailed the three randomly picked e-mail subscribers so I hope to hear back from you guys this weekend.
Just a couple of quick notes:
- If you have not verified, then you were not entered into the drawing. Please confirm your e-mail to be eligible.
- If I get no reply by e-mail, I will default your site as a blogroll text link for the week. And if you have no site URL posted on my comments then I will just skip that person for the week.
- This is FREE advertising on a weekly basis. Eventually when this blog has tons of e-mail subscribers and tons of traffic coming in, I will be forced to switch the three randomly picked winners to a monthly cycle. That way you get full exposure for traffic and it’ll be easier to manage.
Of course, if you simply want to buy advertising you can do so. Though, I would probably hold out for a couple weeks as I’m still building up the stats for this blog. But don’t worry, if I can manage to get 25 e-mail subscribers within two days then the traffic shouldn’t be hard!

FREE Advertising for my E-mail Subscribers Will Begin This Weekend
Written by admin on August 8, 2008 – -I said I was going to be giving away FREE advertising on a weekly basis just for staying subscribed to my blog by e-mail . Well, each week there be three winners for ad spots on AnotherMMOblog.com so I hope you guys have some banner designs already made for your site!
Now I know I originally said I was giving away one 125×125 ad spot and two text links but rather I will be giving away three 125×125 ad spots on a weekly basis just for staying subscribed to my RSS Feeds by e-mail.
If people actually like this idea then I will continue to do. And yes, you can buy an ad spot on the Entrecard widget but that’s only for one day and you have to actually spend your hard earned Entrecard credits.
Anyways, I will begin the random drawing from my e-mail subscribers list this weekend and I will be contacting you guys for your 125×125 banner designs and website URL. Now, if you don’t have an ad spot ready, you can always just choose the option of the text link ad.
And if you just don’t have a website, well, I’ll work something out!

Get Free Advertising Simply by Subscribing to my RSS Feeds by E-mail
Written by admin on August 4, 2008 – -I decided that I want to get more readers coming to this blog and if you know me from other blogs, you know I’m a big fan of helping my loyal readers out. So, I decided to give free advertising each week to one of my RSS Feeds e-mail subscribers.
Basically, I currently have 0 e-mail subscribers and I want to increase my RSS Feeds in general. So, what I will do is take all my e-mail subscribers (once I get a few) and let random.org choose winner(s) each week from the list. I will then contact you guys by e-mail and ask if you want to claim this free advertising for a week’s period.
I will be randomly picking 3 e-mail subscribers for a 125×125 spot and two text link ads. Of course, there is a chance you guys will get advertising for multiple weeks because each week you have a chance to win 1 of 3 ad spots on AnotherMMOblog.com.
I will be drawing the winners for two weeks so you guys can get sometime to get a 125×125 ad prepared to advertise here.
As you can see, the ads will be on the right-hand side and it will be one of the top two spots. Also, the text link blogroll ads are also on the right-hand side.
I will begin drawing names once I reach three e-mail subscribers, that way there will be at least three winners.
So, my week starts on Mondays, so the ad will be rotating so the new winner/e-mail subscriber’s ad displayed at 12:01am Monday morning.
Now, I know not everyone that subscribes will have a website but I will have some contests running on here soon enough. Matter of fact, maybe in the next few days.
And my traffic should be drastically improving in the next week or two. If this becomes popular, then I will continue, if not, eh.
You can subscribe simply by entering in your e-mail below:
