Findings From Liberty Mutual’s Responsibility Project
Last Updated on Wednesday, 29 July 2009 12:22 Written by Andrew G.R. Wednesday, 29 July 2009 12:22
BlogHer, a growing community of woman who blog, recently wrapped up a conference in Chicago, IL. One of the convention activities included a forum for bloggers to share their opinions on “responsible blogging.” As part of Liberty Mutual’s Responsibility Project, BlogHer attendees were given a chance to sound off on several key blogging issues. Here are some of the findings : > 98 percent of surveyed bloggers believe it is acceptable to receive a free product > A majority of bloggers mentioned transparency, disclosure and honesty as key caveats to receiving free product and writing sponsored posts > 84 percent said honesty is a key trait of a responsible blogger, followed by transparency (66 percent) and reliable sources (56 percent) You can view some of the confessional here . Now let’s hear from the dudes! Do you think the above findings are in-line with what you’d expect from both sexes?

WP Super Cache Gets Bumped to 0.9.6.1
Last Updated on Wednesday, 29 July 2009 11:56 Written by Thord Daniel Hedengren Wednesday, 29 July 2009 11:56
Donncha O Caoimh has announced the release of WP Super Cache version 0.9.6.1. This upgrade to the popular caching plugin (which really should be a part of WordPress core) brings a few bug fixes and some other things, where this should interest most users: You can now choose to not cache different types of pages on your blog. Don’t want to cache your front page? That’s easy now. The indented page types are types covered by the top type. “Archives” covers “Tag” and “Category” pages for example. That’s right, stop caching of the front page if you will. Apparently works like Conditional Tags , which sounds good.
Here is the original:

This is final part of the Blog Herald’s Guide to the GPL License series. You can read part one , part two and part three here. Over the course of this series, we’ve taken a look at what the GPL is, why using GPLed blogging software is important and how the GPL impacts some of the more common peripherals and add-ons to most blogging software.

Are You Investing or Gambling?
Last Updated on Tuesday, 28 July 2009 02:36 Written by Chris Garrett Tuesday, 28 July 2009 02:36
There is money to be made in blogging and affiliate marketing, but how much risk are you willing to take? Lately I have been hearing about a lot of affiliates being burned by delayed or unpaid affiliate commissions not covering their adwords spend, and now I just heard a story from a friend that a well known affiliate management company has lost money due to paying affiliates but not being paid by merchants . As our blogs grow to become businesses, and then become our main source of income, it is worth remembering that fortunes do not always go one way. It is easy to get screwed through no fault of your own: Google Rankings tank Advertising prices you sell are cut Advertising prices you pay suddenly increase Bans, penalties, quality scores Crashes, data loss and hacks and so on Darren Rowse once told me his problogger empire was nearly stalled before it started when he lost three quarters of his Google traffic overnight. I think he still doesn’t know why it happened, it just came back a couple of months later. Can you imagine losing three quarters of your traffic and therefore three quarters of your income? This is why you should not give up the day job until you have sufficient budget to ride out any problems that might crop up. You must have a safety net in place. Plan for the worst and hope for the best! Possibly Related Posts Is Twitter considering charging business users?

Gawker Media Revenues Up 45%, So Much for the Adcopalypse
Last Updated on Tuesday, 28 July 2009 02:17 Written by Thord Daniel Hedengren Tuesday, 28 July 2009 02:17
Good news for Nick Denton & Co., his Gawker Media reports that revenues are up by 45% in first half of 2009. So much for that “adcopalypse” where Denton spoke about 40% decreases in ads online last year, and warned media outlets to cut their costs why they still could. Gawker Media certainly did that, but it hardly hurt them, it would seem. They even brought back the pageview bonuses . See Denton’s blog post for charts and more.

Retweet.com to Battle with TweetMeme
Last Updated on Monday, 27 July 2009 12:48 Written by Thord Daniel Hedengren Monday, 27 July 2009 12:48
Retweet.com is set to tackle TweetMeme as well as news overall. At least that is the goal for Mesiab Labs, who’ll roll out the site, well, sometime. This from their presentation blog post : Retweet.com – Data is acquired from multiple sources (primarily twitter) and fed into our database. Data is analyzed and supplemented, then ranked and presented in common news formats. Rt.nu – Secondary data regarding story quality and real time popularity (interest rating) is gathered using our popular link shortening system, which is based on our link analytics platform (over 100k link redirections since release). CheckRetweet.com – Secondary data regarding user quality (story breakers) is gathered here using custom algorithms that measure a users reach and influence. Sounds good in theory, and the name, Retweet.com, is certainly a good one, but will it carry? We’ll see when there’s more information available, I’m just glad the old one got scrapped… And my hat’s off for the RT.nu URL shortener, great name, although I have yet to see it used widely.
