Logos have long been a part of the business world; however, now that more professionals are joining the mass pool of information known as the internet, it is important for websites to have logos as well. But why is this so? Why should a website need a logo, of all things?
Why It Is Necessary
Until the bugs are all swatted on this server I am running on and I grow a second set of arms, I am pretty much behind. Behind on this. Behind on that. Mention something else and I will probably be behind on that one too. It happens when I focus on one thing to long and then the balls start dropping around me.
But the Bloghology social network has been going strong and making great strides and many of you there have friended me. But I haven’t been much of a friend as of late, because of current issues. But the show has to go on.
I decided to take the banners off the site. They didn’t help with the view. And unless my traffic increases exponentially here soon, I am not going to lose any money by doing it. What I am going to do is not look so much like a walking billboard.
Some clothes make you look like a billboard. And you pay a premium.
Cars don’t come without the car maker’s logo.
But no one owns this blog, but me. So, no ads.
We all know about shopping widgets: Auction Ads, Chitika, Widgetbucks. I had a couple on a few of my sites and took them off. They took up valuable screen space and gave me pennies a day. So why am I writing about a new shopping widget?
Because I think the creators of this widget have something. First, they own their own ecommerce business which gives them insight into buying activity. I run an ecommerce store at my day job and it has taught me more than any other business about the internet. Secondly, they are women, which gives them insight into shopping. Just joking, sort of.
I was busy this weekend with projects but didn’t quite get everything all finished. To clear off my web clipboard, I am putting them here for future reference for future posts. I drag them to the clipboard during the week and heavily overestimate the amount of time I have to go through them.
Now that I’ve finally settled on Google Reader as a feed reader, I wanted to see what it could do:
I had a few social network/blogging communities to check out:
Quigo Technologies, Inc. – Content-Targeted Ad Serving and Search Engine Marketing Solutions
Okay, sometimes I never find things until everyone else does, but this is pretty cool to me. It’s like Adsense for news sites. I found it through my local newspaper site. It seems you can advertise on hundreds of newspaper and tv news sites around the country through one site. I guess the classifieds would be a hotspot to advertise. Might have to investigate further.
