This site is now part of the Glam Network

by

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but this site is now part of the Glam Network, as is my main blog Tricia’s Musings. This is the big deal I was referring to on Tricia’s Musings for the last couple of weeks.

This site and Tricia’s Musings are now listed in the Glam network, and I have signed a contract with Glam to show network ads in my sidebar. As you can see the ads in the top right sidebar are quite nice graphically, and they are for name brand products – Designer fashions, Revlon and other major cosmetic manufactures, shoe companies, jewelers and so on. I’m quite pleased with the ads and I hope that you enjoy them as well. I figured that if I’m going to advertise on some of my sites I might as well advertise quality products.

I believe the Glam network has listings for about 300 internal and external blogs that discuss topics that mainly would be of interest to women. There are a number of great celebrity, fashion, clothing, parenting and lifestyle blogs listed in the network. I’m pleased that two of my sites have been considered of high enough quality to have been included in this fairly exclusive network.

My main hope in joining this network is to increase traffic to my sites. I enjoy making new blogging friends and of course having my posts read by many. If you are here visiting from the Glam Network please stop for a moment and say hello.






Promote your site with Blog’em Up

by

Hey! I just came across a website that’s aimed at helping bloggers promote their sites with a very unique advertising. The site is called Blog’em UP.

All you need to do to begin advertising your website is to submit your blog to Blog’em up. List your url and a description of your site when you register your site.

You’re website will begin by being listed in the first big image area on the front page. You actually have to purchase this spot in order to advertise your blog, and you’ll need to submit your own images in sizes of 250 x 250 px or 125 x 125 px.

Right now they are only accepting English language websites.

Just to explain the process – The top image value is $10 USD, every time someone buys the top spot the value will decrease by $1 USD until it reaches the value of $1 USD. After that the value goes back to $10 and the cycle begins again.

When you purchase the $10 USD advertising spot you’ll be required to blog about the Blog’em up Website and the one other blog that’s listed on the Blog’em up site before your image will be displayed on the front page. Once you do that the top image value changes over to a $9 value. The person who purchase the $9 USD advertising spot must blog about the Blog’em up website and two other sites on the Blog’em before their image will be listed. This process continues in this manner alway the way through the cycle down to a $1USD advertising space.

Any image that reaches the bottom area will be shifted over to the showcase page and will stay there as long as the Blog’em up website exists.

By using this system you’ll not only end up increasing blog traffic to your site, you’ll also be promoting fellow bloggers and they in turn will promote you. This sounds like a fantastic way to increase traffic to your site.

Go visit the Blog’em Up website to see what it looks like. For $10 or less and a little bit of blogging I think this is a fantastic opportunity to promote your site and other peoples sites as well.

What a great idea!
