Travelling to Digital Hollywood June 11-14

I’ll be on the road to Digital Hollywood in LA from June 11 through the 14th, as we will be exhibiting stashSpace.com’s high-quality in-network video-sharing solution for broadband providers.

Many of the cable & dsl partners we are exploring partnerships with will be speaking at the event, and we thought it would be a good time to expose more of the industry to our unique consumer offering in the personal video space.

If you happen to be attending the show, please stop by!  We will be in booth 11, and would love to talk with you!

Approved by PayPerPost

I was notified this morning that this blog was accepted into
the Pay Per Post network. I was greeted
with a quick dose of reality that will be true for all bloggers starting
out. Blogs without a Google Page Rank
have extremely few “qualified opportunities”. Out of the total number of opportunities available in the Pay Per Post network, less than 10% were
available to those of us who do not have a Page Rank as of the time of Google’s
last ranking, and half of these opportunities (at the time of this post) related to student loans.

Since there is a limited pool of qualified opportunities for new bloggers,
this presents a bit of a quandary. Do you post
about companies/products that do not relate to the content of this blog until you achieve a higher ranking? Or do you
focus on continuing to create quality content in which your readers will be
interested?

There’s another consideration here for you as well. If you are creating segmented blogs (i.e.
having different blogs for different general topics such as travel, technology,
sports, etc.), you also need to get past an initial 10 sponsored postings for your
initial approved blog in order to get your other sites into the network.

After considering the options, I think I will be taking what
I hope is an acceptable middle road. Here’s my plan:

  1. I will take on 10 initial opportunities until I am eligible to have my other site(s) accepted into the PPP network.
  2. After the initial 10 opportunities (or until I have another blog accepted into PPP), I will then review only those opportunities that truly interest me, and/or are relevant to the content of this blog, and/or are related to the content of another blog in my network that has not yet been accepted into PPP.
  3. I will also post reviews for opportunities that I am not yet eligible for, but have an interest in. After all, the PPP network can also serve as a generator of ideas for good content.
