(Thanks again David for the interview and your time!)

Etology.com offers a wide range of advertising/publisher’s programs including text ads, banners, thumbnails, and more. They offer a wide range of banner ads, which I liked since I need to be flexible when I am offering advertising on my blog.

The greatest feature about Etology.com is that they allow you to set your own prices for your ads.

For mine, I chose a 125×125 pixel ad, I haven’t put it on this blog yet, but I will do that later this week to test out the effectiveness and also conversion rate of Etology.com.

You can also set your ad to be sold at market prices, which is great since there’s a standard price for the advertisers.

For advertisers, it seems like you will have tough time finding the right site to advertise on as there are so many sites at Etology.com as shown in this screenshot of their marketplace:

But Etology.com does offer personal support so you don’t have to do the work and let the affiliate manager find good ones for you.

Another great thing about Etology.com is that they offer 5% commissions on any affiliates you refer. So you can make 5% of any advertising that your friends sell.

I will be trying out Etology.com for banner advertising on my blog later this week and also a breakdown of all affiliate programs will be given at the end of all AdTech 2008 reviews.

Hi all,I’ve been busy building this “online stock” market over at SiteHoppin.com.

Go check it out as we just launched it…and I need some rest from 5 straight days of ridiculous coding…

SiteHoppin Beer Stocks are “internet stocks”, we call IUVC (Internet User Venture Capital), that allow you to buy into our new company without having to invest millions, unlike Venture Capital.

Basically, when you buy Beer Stocks, you become co-owners of SiteHoppin.com. We probably won’t let you run the site, but we are giving every internet user an opportunity to invest in one of the fastest growing web sites on the internet.

You can read more about it on our Beer Stocks FAQ.

I was site hoppin’ over at Gizmodo today and for some reason their posts were down but I had the pleasure of watching their flash ad.

Hope you enjoy and why are all computer dealers/manufacturers still shipping their PCs and laptops with Vista installed? At least let the people have an option to have XP pre-installed. (Yes, that means you Dell, HP, Compaq, Sony, etc…etc… why are you guys so dumb and promote a “dumb” Vista? Yes, you guys probably make way too much money to actually care about people. Stop hiding in your stupid looking grey suits and respond to me you dumbasses!)

I have been experimenting with many 125×125 pixel banner exchange programs including Spottt, Nuacco, 125exchange, and etc…etc…

What I have found in my study is that these banner exchange programs don’t work and will fail in the long term.

Why?

Because this system has been in place for a long time, it’s not a new technology.

If you don’t believe me, you can even go download a free version of Easy Banner Pro, which Nuacco and 125exchange runs on.

Heck, I could probably start a 125×125 banner exchange tomorrow. Simply download the script then install it on your server, and blog about it.

Spottt, on the other hand, is exact same technology and exact same figures. They just have more money in their pockets to feed some Fortune journalists or maybe they know someone there. Props though for getting such “low technology” onto Fortune, they do have clever people who are good with words obviously.

Entrecard is probably the guy who “changed” that exchange by adding community interaction such as “dropping” cards. This is good and Entrecard will probably live a long life.

Lol…that’s why we made SiteHoppin Beer Widgets, it’s slightly different in that you get “clicks” exchange, not impressions. Plus, you get to earn Beer Credits and get to go play with them. (We should have some gambling games soon so hold on…)

Plus, SiteHoppin is not simply a banner exchange, it allows any internet users, to view the web like an iPod.

Anyways, enough rambling about our SiteHoppin and banner exchange systems that will never work, do you like our new Zedomax Wordpress theme?

Well, I am still working on it, well… “everything” is a work in progress, including this blog itself.

If these Spottt guys want to actually get some real traffic, they better start updating their site more and this is an honest opinion, not simply bashing on someone else’s business. If they take my advice and start doing something about it, they might live I guess…not that I give a ****.

Virgin has always been doing these kinda things, ganging up on their competition or picking on poor politicians. Hey, at least they always worked.

Virgin Mobile Canada knows how frustrated people can get with the lack of personalized service these days. Faster than Eliot Spitzer could say, “Um, oops,” the company came out with a print ad that features the newly former New York governor, aka Client #9, musing as follows under a thought bubble: “I’m tired of being treated like a number…”

Hi all,

I’ve been a little busy with building some beer widgets that give you free traffic to your site.

You can get these cool beer widgets that give you 50 Beer Credits which you can use 10 Beer Credits to get 1 unique visitor to your site.

In simple words, you send 1 click through the beer widget to SiteHoppin and SiteHoppin sends you 5 clicks. It’s the best exchange ratio that exists on the internet today so go grab your beer widget.

It’s sorta like a traffic exchange program except there’s also lots of users who are there to find new sites.

Oh yeah, the first 50 people to put the widget get a “lifetime” rotating banner ad (125×125 pixel) on SiteHoppin sidebar, a deal you must not miss. (There 7 widgets up so, you still got chance if you act early.)

Here’s the link to the details.

Oh kay, enough with Beer Widgets, I will be posting more cool tech stuff starting tomorrow after I do my taxes, and take care of some stuff.  Cheers~

Yey, remember we were working on our new site, SiteHoppin.com?

Well, now there’s more reasons to use it.

On top of finding new interesting sites, you can get FREE traffic by earning Beer Credits.

Basically, everytime you hop or rate a site on SiteHoppin’, you will be able to earn Beer Credits, which you can later down the road, use for getting traffic (or hops) to your site.

We hope this makes the site takes off now…

If you have a blog, myspace, xanga, or any other site, try SiteHoppin’ and get new visitors while checkin’ out other people’s cool sites too.
