Technorati have now officially announced their new blog advertising platform surprisingly called Technorati Media.
It is a significant step, though not as many seem to think unusual.
Afterall, Google started as a search engine, then monetized search, and finally introduced their own publisher program Adsense.
Lots of discussion related to the often reappearing Microsoft Yahoo deal mention that display advertising is highly lucrative, and Technorati are in a prime position to serve advertising to a very specific demographic of publishers - bloggers.
Technorati know exacty what bloggers are talking about on a day to day basis, so in aggregate they can offer publishers targeted display advertising, at least in theory.
Also it is important to understand that instead of selling the vast amount of data they have, they are using it to provide an added value service.

Exclusive: Share A Post Beta – Blog Post Syndication
I was honestly wondering when someone would come up with a service like Share-A-Post, because it is one of those "no brainer" ideas that I have thought of doing, but never got around to.
When to a huge amount of disbelief I blocked some of my high ranking paid reviews with robots.txt, and hinted that syndication would be a perfect loophole in Google's penalties, no one fully understood what I meant - many SEO experts thought I was bonkers.
This is what I meant - widespread syndication with editorial control

Ken Evoy Attacks Blogging & WordPress
I have learnt a huge amount from Ken Evoy over the years, he provides some of the best free ebooks to learn about affiliate marketing and pre-selling ever written.
His SiteBuildIt system has created many successful online businesses and was doing this long before WordPress became popular.
In his email to affiliates today he announced a new sales page attacking blogging head on.
Blogging has reached lemming status. Without even thinking, many small businesses equate blogging with having a Web site. This is obviously wrong for small businesses with something to sell (ex., services, e-book sellers, etc.).
But it's also the wrong choice for

Players With Money Review & Bonus
Gary Halbert has been an inspiration to online marketers
What I want to impress upon you is… if possible… you should endeavor to confine your selling efforts to…
Players With Money!
Why? First of all, it is easier to sell something to someone with money. It's an obvious fact that person has the money to buy what you're selling. If you've got a $500,000 house for sale, it doesn't matter how appealing the house is if the family you're pitching it to has a pitifully low total income.
But there's another fact you mustn't overlook

Optimizing Post Titles After You Have Posted
Andy Beal today to kicked off his Blog Marketing Tips For Probloggers series with an interesting look at post titles.
What Andy suggests is that you write a title to captivate or grab your readers attention, and then using the SEO Title Tag plugin, (though All in One SEO Plugin or Headspace 2 would equally work) optimize the titles further for best SEO results.
Thus you would add additional keywords and possibly change the keyword order.
This is something I have done a few times, but is not a universal strategy.

Why Have Blogs At All? – The Race To Kill Blogging
How would a human differentiate between the original source for a piece of content on the web, and a syndicated or splogged copy?
One of the most important factors would almost certainly be the comments.
What is one of the primary reasons people click through from an RSS feed to actually visit a blog?
Almost certainly it is either to read comments others have made, or to make one of their own. It is not to view advertising... at least for most.
How would a machine, such as Google differentiate between original source and whether a piece of content is valuable to include in its search index?
Factors could include:-
- The content within comments - keywords, language structure, length etc
- The number of comments
- Update frequency of the page (gaining additional comments over time)

Dear Jason Calacanis – The Good Citizen Of The Interwebs?
I honestly want to believe that you are a good internet citizen, and your attacks on search engine optimization and now affiliate marketers are honest, and without any form of prejudice.
So while you are attacking affiliate marketing, please ensure you have first of all cleared up all the problems in the paid links debate, such as what seems to be a company, where you are on the board of directors, buying links.
It is widely discussed that buying links in Wordpress themes is something that might be a signal of web spam, and the same should be true for buying links

Moving The Free Line But You Want Jam On It Too?
Chris Anderson in his post today on Wired in the run up to his launch of "Free" and freeconomics provided a great discussion point because bloggers face a frequent dilemma.
Blogging Is Marketing Your Revenue Stream
That revenue stream in my opinion doesn't have to be current, though it is beneficial to at least have long-term plans for revenue.
To quote Fred Wilson:-
If you are building a media oriented business, particularly one that has low marginal costs, meaning you build it once and the cost to serve an additional customer is negligible, then you have the unique opportunity to focus first

Mike Sansone Cracks The Secret Code to Removing Nofollow From Typepad
For two years people have been struggling to remove Nofollow from Typepad so they can share the link love with their regular visitors who add great value to the conversation on the host blog.
Many blog owners are unaware that the links people leave on their blogs are shrouded with a “link condom” which tells the major search engines to ignore any links left that provide a benefit to the blog community.

Sponsored Reviews Pays Up
It is great theorising that you can monetize your blogging activities with various forms of advertising, and possibly some affiliate reviews, but blog visitors often don’t click contextual advertising, and affiliate marketing is most effective when you have a large amount of traffic to a small number of sites, or a small amount of traffic to a huge number of sites. Your relationship with your audience is also extremely important, as Scott Jangro was recently discussing in relation to Google’s new CPA offerings.

The one thing that irritates me about all the “Best of” blogging awards is that they are always, without exception won by the blog that can encourage enough of their own readership to vote for them. Obviously they have the high readership because they write quality content, and have been established for a lot longer to build up their readership, but in some cases that means they win the prizes, year on year, almost by default.

The “nofollow” tag prevents (in theory) search engines attributing weight to links for Page Rank. It also in theory prevents them following the link and indexing the content.

You Can’t Segment RSS… Sorry
- Doesn't support simple HTTP authentication so you can use RSS for private stuff
- Doesn't provide a mechanism so content producers can restrict sharing stuff
This is important... if you want to provide premium content from a membership site in a form that is most accessible for your subscribers. It is even important for anyone using stock photos with a contract/license limited to a certain number of views for which you are personally liable. If you allow people to share blog posts that contain stock photos, it is a significant financial risk... but I am not a lawyer. But segmentation? Not unless every subscriber had a unique feed...
