RSS Feed Ads Without Adsense
Want to display ads in your blog’s RSS feed, but haven’t been accepted by the gods at Google?
Well, you could always edit the feed yourself — I did that. Trouble is, your ads soon get stale when they’re hard-coded in. But who’s got the time to mess about updating them? And that’s assuming you have the technical knowledge required to edit the various PHP files in your blog, that generate the feeds.
A while back, after applying to Adsense for a second time with no luck (God knows why they won’t let me run ads in my RSS feeds), I looked all over for an alternative to Adsense RSS ads.
I couldn’t find one.
Then last week while clearing through some email clutter, I discovered that in January I had received an email from BidVertiser informing me that they now offered ads for RSS or ATOM feeds. Actually, what I’d stumbled on wasn’t the original announcement, but an update two weeks after the fact:
Following the successful launch of BidVertiser Ads for Feeds, we have now added 3 unique solutions that allow you to keep your current feed address (including FeedBurner!) when running BidVertiser ads for Feeds:

Easy Backlinks Fast And Cheap
Just a quickie…
Minutes ago I came across Linktator2, which is a low-cost backlink service, and as part of my new, “just post what you’re doing” initiative brought about by my long hiatus, I thought I’d briefly tell you about it.
I’m not sure if you know or not, but there are quite a few backlink networks about now. These services provide one-way links to members, by ensuring websites in the network never display links to the sites that link to them. Sites are categorized so that the backlinks can be somewhat targeted, and of course they use the target site’s preferred keywords in the anchor text.
Generally speaking these systems work very well. Google doesn’t discover the networks (of course there’s always the possibility that may change in the future. Anything is possible) and the sites climb in the rankings.
They are all costly though. Ranging in price from expensive, all the way up to more than your mortgage. Except this one that is — and thus the post. It’s cheap. By far the cheapest I’ve seen for this kind of service.
