The SiteHoppin Toolbar:

Hop Button
If you have sitehopped before the you know what the hop button looks like. The sidebar is no different. When you click the button you hop to a different site each time. With the Toolbar though there is no Iframes or anything like that, you simply go to the actual site. The hop button is the bit one to the left, I have marked it with red.

Rate Bottles
The rate bottle are next and they allow you to rate a site from 1-5, 5 bottles being the best. When you rate you earn beer credits to go towards your own sites views so the more you rate the more credits you earn and the the more the site you have activated in you user account gets viewed.

The Puke It Button
The Puke It button will automatically give the site that you feel is horrible or spam a rating of 0 and take it out of the system. So when you run across something that should not be in the SiteHoppin Database you can get rid of it.

The Tag and Talk Buttons
Both the buttons are a way to gain more beer credits. There purpose is for you to leave a comment or add tags to a site. When you hit the talk button you are taken to a page where you can read or add comments around a site or page. With the Tag button you have a little window that pops up where you can add tags and a comment to the page you are viewing.

Hop Categories
Next is the category menu where you can select the type of sites you would like to hop so if you are interested in animals or technology you can select it the category and start hoppin that particular niche. For Entrecard users you can even select an entrecard category to hop and drop cards at the same time.

Toggle Mode
Beside the Categories menu is the toggle mode where you can select to hop the selected category by shuffle or iterate mode.

Main Menu
The main menu dropdown gives you links to all the main SiteHoppin pages so you can go straight to the site to add a new URL, check the blog, see what beer stocks are on the market and access to any other page.

Then you will receive your edited post back within 24 hours. There is also a “jump ahead” feature that will ensure your post will be edited ahead of the regular submissions.

Pricing for Quick Post Edit:
A standard blog post is 500 words or less. If your post is 500 words or less, you will be charged $2. After that, $1 is added for increments of 500 words.For example, 501-1,000 words is $3 and 1001-1,500 words is $4.

The “jump ahead” feature adds an extra $3 to your total, so if you submitted a 1000-word post for $3, the total would then be $6.

How does it work – from the BlogUpp site:

• BlogUpp! snapshots your blog and reads your RSS regularly
• Blog’s thumbnail shows on other blogs with our service activated
• The thumbnail is accompanied by your blog’s most recent article
• For every 10 readers of your blog, it is shown to 9 readers on other blogs
• An identical widget projects on your weblog (as shown on the right), with relevant blogs and articles (move the mouse over the widget)
• Each link clicked in the widget opens a new window, not closing your blog
• And all this is completely free and with no effort whatsoever

Why is Blogupp different?
The BlogUpp service does make things a little more simple than the other services. There is no registration or account. You simply put in your URL, grab your code, add it to your site and BlogUpp does the other work for you, like category placement and adding others to your widget.

The one thing I do find interesting is the way that the sites are displayed on the BlogUpp widget and it is a lot different that the others. There is no need to upload an image, the screenshot is automatically taken from your blog. When someone rolls over your screenshot your recent post is shown from your RSS. The widget seems a little bulky though from the example on the site and there seems to only be that one size which is like 150×350 so there is a limit of the size of your choices, which may present a problem for some bloggers if they would prefer a choice. The Exchange Ratio is a little nicer than Spottt and Blogrush with a 10:9 exchange rate. The is a comparison chart at the BlogUpp blog that shows the differences between there service verses Entrecard, Spottt and BlogRush. See the chart.

Some other differences – from the BlogUpp site:

• No registration and no account required
• No email and privacy exposure
• No ad submission and no efforts
• No animation and annoying ads
• Cheat-proof and fair sharing
• WordPress platform and alike friendly
• Targeted readers reach
• Welcome bonus for everyone
• Best de facto exchange ratio (10:9)
• SEO freindly links exchange
• Designed for blogs but any site with an RSS can use it.

BlogUpp has it’s potential, I can see it being a better alternative for Spottt and Blogrush, not really for Entrecard. It does seem like a easy and simple application to drive a little more traffic to your site be shown though out the blogsphere. Why not give it a try. Let me know if you have tried the service and what it has offered you in terms of traffic, I would like to know.

Beer Shares, Traffic, and 25% off:
This past week Sitehoppin released there new product called Beer Shares. Beer Shares allows you to buy a keyword and page, link that keyword to your site and allow you to gain traffic though the Sitehoppin browser or though the Beer Shares page. The shares are yours to keep or you can sell the on the Beer Shares Market at your own set price or buy other keywords that are up for grabs.

I have purchased a few keywords so far that are doing really well with traffic. The keywords are B4C, SEO, and Cash. The SEO and Cash are up for sell in the Beer Shares Market for $200 and $300. Plus there are a lot of other keywords avaiable for sell by other users. The keywords are being brought fairly fast so now is your time to hop in and buy a few while you can at the regular price. Your link will look like - http://www.sitehoppin.com/cash and will show the URL you set in your user panel.

The Current Beer Share Prices:
Vowels (a,e,i,o,u) – are $10 each
Consonants – are $1 each
So if you wanted to buy (for example) Money the price would be $23.

How to get started:
The first thing you need to do is create an account and login. Then you can go to the Beer Stock Page and start keying in keywords to see if they are available and how much they cost and then you can purchase the ones available. The process is though paypal and only takes a moment. Then you can go to your user dashboard and set the options for your keywords like if you want to hold it or sell it on the market, set a price, set a embedded url (where the keyword/page will direct viewers) and your set to go. The other options in the user panel are related to your sitehopin stats and your main URL to gain credits for along with banner codes and affiliate links.

Beer Shares Traffic:
Beer Share Pages that you have purchased will increase your traffic on the Sitehoppin network sense these pages will receive 30% of the total traffic though the sitehoppin browser. So when people are browsing your page will receive 1/3 of the total Sitehoppin traffic of the total 97,380 sites on the network. So far my traffic though the 3 keywords, plus regular Sitehoppin credits has been really good compared to other traffic networks and the bounce rate is a lot lower. I gained about 1,800 hits in less than a week from 3 Beer Shares and regular Sitehoppin Traffic.

Commenting is a good way to draw traffic to your blog and if you are the first to comment you are more likely to be seen more than if you are a few comments down the list. I would suggest though that you do not use this as a SPAM TOOL, this is not what the software is for, but a way to monitor and keep up to date with your regular rss subscribed blogs. So be sure to post quality comments like you would any other time. Comment Sniper is not a RSS reader, but works quicker and in real-time as most RSS feeds are delayed to some amount of time, this is where comment sniper really comes in handy.

I looked around for a few other programs that were similar but could not find any that worked as well or were free. Comment Sniper is free and the download is the full version not a trial or test.

From the site:
“Comment Sniper offers you a way to build targeted, valuable, strong and lasting traffic to your website at no cost, by tapping into the first mover advantage of blog comment posting. And… now, for a limited time only, you can download this $47 fully functional application Completely FREE with no strings attached.”

How to use it:
There is a guide on the Comment Sniper site that can walk you though more details.

The first thing to do is go and Download the software and install it.

Once done you can start adding blogs by going to the “Blog Manage” Tab. It has a few options like if the blog is on Blogger, Wordpress, Live Spaces, or other. With the first three you only have to give and ID and the Blogs name on the service.

The Other option is for regular blogs and you will need to add the URL, RSS and select the Title Tags. Once done you it will be added to your monitoring list.

Then you can go back to the main screen and hit Start and you will be monitoring the sites on your list and be notified when a new post is made.

Other Options:
Search – You are able to search blogs on different networks using terms to find a blog that interest you and the option to subscribe to the ones on blog services like blogger and wordpress. The search gives you the URL, Page Ranks and Alexa.

Notification – You can set up the notifications to just notify you from your desktop or my SMS and Skype so you can keep updated with new post even when you are away from your computer.

For more information on Comment Sniper and Download information you can go to Commentsniper.com and get the full version for free.

Comment Sniper – Hit the blogs you like.

How it works:

After you have read the terms and registered you can log in and add your additional information and change your password.

You can then look though the “Available Orders” link and get a list of customer links. These links will take you to the customers page where you can see all the details and specifications for the domain name they are looking for. From there you can make a suggestion by using the suggestions box and press “Create Suggestion” and move on to the next customer link.

After you have made a suggestion it must first go though moderation where your suggestion will be marked for approval or rejected by the moderators. You will then see the domain as
“Published” or “Disliked by Moderator”. If your suggestions was marked as “Published” it will then be viewable to the customer and they will have a chance to make it as “Liked” or Disliked”.

When a customer registers your suggested domain name it will be marked as “Picked”. After your domain is picked you will then be able to receive your $25 for that domain name.

Sign up today and start making suggestions. You can even use some of the tips and tools I suggested in yesterdays post to help you along with ideas.

Selling and Buying Text-Links | TNX Review

How it works:
The first step is to sign-up for an account, after that you want to ad your Ad Network information for each Network you are apart of or it even gives you the option to sign up for other networks it you are not a part of them. Next create your Pubmatic Ad Tags for each code you will be placing on your site and the Ad Networks to run in that space and the ads size, placement and colors. For color you can choose to have Pubmatic determine the best color for your site.

After your ads are set, Pubmatic will hold a auction and determine which Ad Network will pay you the most for your ad spaces and then your ad will be ran. The whole process seems complicated to me but is determined by algorithms to benefit to you and make sure you are receiving the best revenue for your site.

Determining Ad Colors:
If you select the option to have Pubmatic select and optimize the colors for your ads and determine which colors work better for your site they may look kind of ugly at first but after Pubmatic determines what colors work best during this trial period of about 50,000 impressions it will start run the color options that preform the best on your site. So you will likely notice that with every impression the ad changes to a different color scheme.

What Ad Networks are Supported:
Google AdSense, Yahoo Publisher Network, Microsoft ContentAds, ValueClick, Tribal Fusioin, Komli, Blue Lithium, Burst Media, Advertising.com and Casale Media. They also support many other ad networks. Pubmatic also supports different revenue models: CPM, CPC and CPA.

Reports:
With Pubmatic there is no need to even log in to all of your Ad networks to determine your impressions or clicks for the day. Everything is within your login and Pubmatic. They also have a widget that runs off of the Yahoo Widget Engine that offers real-time stats across your networks.

Here is a video from Pubmatic to give you a more detailed account:

Pubmatic is free and only takes 10 minutes to sign up and get started. It sounds like a great idea and I hope to implement this service and give it a test run to see how well it plays out.

Pubmatic – The easy way to test ads.

Although Spottt is a link exchange service like Entrecard they are not that similar. Entrecard runs by a credit system to advertise on other sites. You can earn credits by dropping cards or having cards dropped on your widget. The process of Entrecard can be quite time consuming but the traffic is fairly good.

With Spottt all the hard labor of earning credits is over. The Spottt system is a bit more simple you earn one impression for every two times an ad is shown on your site. Spott is free to use and all you need to get started is to register, your 125×125 banner and add the code to your site. I’m not sure that Spottt will really generate the amount of traffic that Entrecard does and there is not need to really visit other members sites.

Unlike Entrecard there are more broad categories and for all you Make Money Bloggers there is no Make Money Online section. Your Spottt Widget must be “Above the fold” and no more that 850px from the top of the page. I’m not even sure if you can approve or decline ads on your site and no real way of telling who will be displayed on your site and no way to control who’s site your ad is displayed on, kind of a draw back in my thinking to try this out, but I might give it a go.

“Where will my ad run?
Your Spottt will run on other sites that have signed up for the Spottt service. Initially, your ad will run broadly across sites with a variety of content types. As more sites join Spottt, we may enable you to more narrowly match like-minded sites.”

In the long run I’m not to sure what to think yet of Spottt, it seems like a good enough idea, but with a few concerns that some may have to how it operates. Will this convert the users of Entrecard? I’m not sure I am ready to throw in the towel. There are still a lot more features and things I like about Entrecard along with all of the readers and traffic it generates. All though a lot of Entrecard traffic has a few people dropping it, it’s still a great way to discover new sites and gain new readers. We shall have to see how Spottt goes and how well the traffic generates from the site once it starts growing.
