The personalized profile pages on I Love Hits continue to improve

Recently, Jon Olson had a great idea and added personalized profile pages for ILoveHits.com members.

For example, here is my profile page: I Love Hits Blog for John Dilbeck.

Now, in addition to linking to several social networking sites, you can syndicate the RSS feed from one of your sites or blogs, link to a blog and/or website, and post entries to your very own blog.

Additionally, a members directory is starting to grow as more people edit their profile and add information to their pages. There is a link to the members directory on the bottom of each of our profile pages.

If you have edited your profile and created your ILH blog page, there is also a link to it on the bottom of the pages you promote on the I Love Hits traffic exchange.

Earlier this morning, when I logged in to the members page, the Locker Room, I noticed three entries from members’ blog postings. I don’t know if these are the three most recent posts or if they are a random selection. There may be other criteria at play, too.

Regardless of how they are selected, the blog postings are now starting to appear in other places and not just on your profile page. Three entries on the Locker Room page are in a prime location.

This just keeps getting better and better.

I also noticed that there is a new “Get to know me” badge with javascript that can be added anywhere you can post javascript. I just added it to the right column of this blog. If you click that badge, it will take you right to my personalized profile page.

This is a very nice addition, too.

Are you a member of ILoveHits.com?

Have you created your personalized profile page and posted to your blog there?

Act on your dream!

Random Neurons Firing becomes 21st Century Affiliate Marketing

Filed under: Blogging 

Several months ago, I created a blog called Random Neurons Firing at WordPress.com in order to test the latest version of their blogging software without having to keep updating the software all the time.

As you may know, I earn my living from affiliate marketing and that’s my main interest these days, so I started writing about the subject at Random Neurons Firing.

A few days ago, I logged into the dashboard to write a new post and there was a message that WordPress was concerned about the contents of my blog. So, I used the contact form to learn what concerned them.

When one of their people contacted me, he told me that I was violating their terms of service by blogging about affiliate marketing.

I wasn’t aware that commercial postings weren’t allowed on blogs hosted by WordPress.com, but that’s the case.

So, I exported all the postings and deleted all that were commercial in nature.

In the future, I’ll be posting about non-commercial topics on that blog.

I had registered 21stCenturyAffiliateMarketing.com some time back, but had never done anything with it, so yesterday, I set up a new blog called 21st Century Affiliate Marketing on this domain and imported the postings from Random Neurons Firing into it.

In the future, I’ll be posting news and views about affiliate marketing on this blog.

Of course, this means more work and I’m not sure if it will really be worth it.

The only way to find out is to try it and see.

The main reason I’ll continue writing to this blog in addition to John Dilbeck And Friends is to see if more people will comment because you won’t have to register here, and you do have to register there.

Any thoughts?

Act on your dream!
