InLinks

Since we had such a small turnout for this issue of the Political Blog Weekly, I want to let you in on a little secret.  This website pays for itself.  I don’t have to invest any out-of-pocket money to keep this site up and running, and I have to credit that to InLinks.

InLinks is a service that sells text-based advertisement on your behalf.  These ads appear as links to various websites embedded in the articles, without all those annoying pop-ups or large banners that obscure the flow of the article you are reading.

When ads are sold, you are paid each month a fixed amount, making it a reliable source of income.  In my case, I turn those funds around and pay off my web-hosting fees.

If you maintain an active blog and wish to recoup your investment, I highly consider checking out InLinks for yourself.  The graphic below will take you to their website, where you can discover more about their service.  You won’t be disappointed.

SeededBuzz

Due to the very light number of submitted articles this week, I wanted to introduce you to a new service for bloggers to try.  SeededBuzz is a service where you can post your work for other bloggers to reference.  This increases the number of links to your site while continuing your discussion topic on multiple blogs.  

Say you wrote an article about the Chevy Volt, and you wonder if it will be successful.  You post it on SeededBuzz where a car blog finds it and wants to talk about the car design.  Another blogger finds your article and wants to talk about how it is eco-friendly.  Your article has just be connected to two blogs that you might not have seen before.  And if someone references their article, your blog has the potential to reach even more readers.

So take a moment and check out the site.  If you are interested in signing up, enter invitation code uscommonsense (since the service is still in the trial phase and it is by invitation only).
