He sold a website for $300,000 because it was bringing for like $7000+/month in profit. Hope you all the same and more success in near future. <a href="http://getdownwithyourbadself.net/blog/" rel="nofollow">Watching the scams going down</a> This is a big wow lol.. reminds me with the story of the “The rich Jerk” ebook creator.

There's just one point I wanted to add - many business owners who finally start thriving blogs seem to stop. Consistency is the key to having a successful blog. I enjoyed reading your article.

A medium for so many benefits and advantages as long as the search engines like fresh content. If the search engines will disregard content, more so, discourage fresh content, then anyone can say that blogs and blogging is dead.

]]> Comment on A New Way to Measure Blog Influence: Search Term Alignment by Kimberly Monday http://blogbusinesssummit.com/2008/05/a-new-way-to-measure-blog-influence-search-term-alignment.htm#comment-31679 Kimberly Monday Wed, 22 Oct 2008 19:33:31 +0000 http://blogbusinesssummit.com/2008/05/a-new-way-to-measure-blog-influence-search-term-alignment.htm#comment-31679 The key thing is to create a win-win scenario where the blogger being approached is actually glad to hear from you, and you know that if they write about you, someone will actually read it. We think a good way to do this is to find bloggers who are writing about things your customers are interested in, and have aligned posts that are prominent in search.

]]> Comment on Bad News for AOL When Shoddy Customer Service Recording Becomes a Meme by blah blah black sheep http://blogbusinesssummit.com/2006/06/bad_news_for_ao.htm#comment-31657 blah blah black sheep Mon, 20 Oct 2008 21:21:36 +0000 http://wp-bbs.dreamhosters.com/2006/06/bad-news-for-aol-when-shoddy-customer-service-recording-becomes-a-meme.htm#comment-31657 Had a similar experience with Bank of America in trying to cancel both a credit card & checking account with them. They had all this fancy online banking stuff, but no way to cancel unless you call in. I did so, sat on hold for a while, then found I had to get transfered to another number to get customer service for cancelling a checking acct. Then I had to get transfered to a DIFFERENT number to cancel the credit card. During the whole time, I asked them "will this close the account?", "nobody can use or access the account after this, right?", "will I get some kind of written notice saying the accounts are closed?". I wasn't getting clear answers, but they finally said the accounts were closed. The next day, I still got the auto-messages I had setup previously to tell me my account balances. I called them again asking why I was getting these if the accounts were closed. They said I had to log into the online site to turn them off. I couldn't, though, because my online account wouldn't let me in since both accounts were technically closed. I made several phone calls asking them to change the settings on their end, and twice they said they fixed it. But, still I would get the messages. I called in a third time, and the guy who was trying to help me asked for my social security number to verify who I was. I told him the previous folks just asked me for my old account numbers and some pertinant piece of info to verify who I was (EG: like answer to my secret question). He told me he needed my ssn this time to verify who I was. I told him that didn't seem to follow protocol from past sessions, and that it's blatantly stupid to give out ones SSN over the phone. I finally hung up, and just set my email to auto-delete those messages going forward. I finally (after the other few phone calls) received letters in the mail explicitly saying the accounts were closed. It's crazy how difficult they make this ... so much so that you want to do it just so you can get away from them. Big Business likes to make it hard to leave, so folks will hopefully stay and put up with frustration rather than suffer the pain of leaving. But if a company makes it painful to leave, then it's not a company worth doing business with.

I think most bloggers are in it for the fun, the expression of ideas and the experience if sharing of thoughts. It is always good to hear of these stories where hard work pays off.
