Sad Pixel Ad Fad Over? Don't Get Mad, Buy HTML 'input' Tags for $100


MoWH.com Launches Offering HTML 'input' Tags for $100

Mosaics of Web History (MoWH), located at http://www.mowh.com, officially opened for business today. Instead of offering pixels for sale, this new site gives visitors the ability to purchase the very fabric of the internet -- HTML code; specifically, < input > tags.

Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) January 4, 2006 -- Mosaics of Web History (MoWH), located at http://www.mowh.com, officially opened for business today. Instead of offering pixels for sale, this new site gives visitors the ability to purchase the very fabric of the internet -- HTML code; specifically, "< input >" tags.

Users either design a standard "< input type="button" >" or use the "< input type="image" >" tag to display a button image of their choice. Each button features the owner's message in its title attribute (which is visible by mousing over the button). Pushing a button takes the visitor to the owner's website of choice. Buttons are displayed on the http://www.mowh.com website for a term of five (5) years.

Mosaics of Web History is a cyber-museum of sorts, initially displaying 30 pages of 30 rows of 30 columns of HTML "< input >" buttons. Buyers can purchase buttons for $100 each. Together, the buttons act as tiles to create unique mosaics.

"MoWH offers a unique opportunity for buyers to commemorate, celebrate or promote using simple '< input >' buttons as art," said web designer and site creator Mike Fountain. "The site is interactive and addictive: everybody likes pushing other people's buttons."

Chitika Account Suspension Notice (N) - Chitika Meltdown...?

I had my Chitika account suspended the other day (December 29, 2005) and they will not respond to the calls, emails, and support ticket I entered on their site.

I wanted to know what the problem was and try to resolve it, but they won't get in touch with me no matter what I do. So I am starting the big job of pulling all of their ads from the sites I added them to. Man, what a pain!

My sites weren't making much from them anyway, I think they owe me $30-$40, but I had been working to try and generate more traffic to the sites that have their ads. Now they pull this BS.

So if you were considering using Chitika on your site(s), I would recommend instead that you copy the style of ads they were using and try that with some good affiliate programs. The ad style seemed to be effective, but the company really, really sucks.

I thought I waited long enough to make sure it was going to be worth the trouble, but at least now some of you won't have to go through what I am. The program from Google is so far the easiest, the best run, and pays very well so I can recommend that you try that completely.

Don't take my word for it, do a search in Google for "chitika sucks" or "shitika" (Not to be confused with the mushroom with a similar name...) and you will find a few others that are not happy with what seemed like a good system.

BlogMedia Announces the Launch of its Blog Network

Online publishing house BlogMedia announces the launch of its network of blogs.

(PRWEB) January 3, 2006 -- BlogMedia, Inc., an online publisher of a unique variety of content, announces the launch of its new network of weblogs. The BlogMedia & Erati Media network consists of several sites across a wide range of themes, including management, technology, celebrities, comedy, sports, and many others. Each 'blog' focuses on specific subject areas and is written by experts in their respective fields.

“We launched the BlogMedia & Erati Media blog network because we wanted to connect our experts and those interested in a topic to interact in a way that allowed their passion and energy to flourish," said Matt Craven, Vice President of Online Services for BlogMedia, Inc. “We’re looking forward to being a part of a conversation between our experts and their readers.”

The BlogMedia network consists of two distinct segments. BlogMedia focuses on topics ranging from celebrity gossip (http://www.celebricious.com), to television shows (http://www.tvbloggin.com), to discussions about the current state of sports (http://www.sportyblog.com) and a look at the blogosphere through the eyes of http://www.bloggeridol.com.

The Erati Media division, (http://www.erati.com), is home to some of the most talented writers in online media. “Erati Media is a community of creators,” said David Krug, Community Director for Erati Media, “It’s a unique forum for talented, often overlooked, writers to leave a mark on mainstream media.” Sites such as http://biz.erati.com share information about personal leadership and small business management, while http://blog.erati.com discusses the world of blogging and provides reviews of other blog sites.

BlogMedia prefers to publish in a blog format because it provides continuously updated content as well the ability to facilitate interaction between the writers and the readers. Blogging is unique in so far as it bridges the gap between the writer and the reader. Providing the reader with a portal of consistent content has become increasingly important.

“We are not about to create another blog network for the sake of creating a blog network,” states Krug, “This is about fostering the talent behind quality content, and providing opportunities for success.”

"We believe that by giving talented individuals a unified forum for expressing themselves, we can fully harness the unbridled potential of this new media," states Craven. "In doing so, we feel that we can raise the quality standard for content while ushering in a new age of information exchange. As we grow, we will champion the highest quality content and combine it with our passion for connecting with our audience, and this will help us to lead the way into this new informational frontier."
