Buzzing Snap Preview Anywhere

What is Snap Preview Anywhere (SPA)? It is one of the service offered by a new and interesting SNAP search. To explain, hover your mouse over the following links:

technorati tags:
del.icio.us tags:
icerocket tags:

What did you see? A preview! Snap instantly draws you a preview of that link on my blog! It is easy to signup and it's free. After signing up, you are required to install a piece of code into our blog.

Go to your blogger's template, add a Javascript, and paste the code into the javascript window, save and view your blog. There you go. You have an instant snap of thumbnails for all links on your blog.

This feature is important to BuzzBadge as BuzzBadge talks about other sites more than it talks about itself. So having this feature built-in, you can actually see a preview of the site I am talking about without paying the site a visit.

BuzzBadge to WriteAbout.Us



The legend continues, another spin-off of million dollar homepage claims that "More than just a spin-off of million dollar homepage, we are in fact, a hub of traffic. Our SEO, business model and marketing effort make Write About Us unique and robust."

It looks like just another link homepage we discussed earlier, however, further scrutinize of the site reveals that it is so much better than its counterpart.

The Business Model:
Instead of charging everyone who wants to have their link on the page, WriteAbout.Us gives out free link with a condition that you write about them in your blog or site. After writing about it, you can send them a note using the submission form. As you get free publicity, they get it too! This is brilliant!

The site looks new as of this posting, since there are only a few links, let us watch it closely. I write this post with the same purpose, to get BuzzBadge included on the front page. Who knows it really drives traffic to BuzzBadge and increase the readership.

Well, I think my link will stay there for quite some time. Once it gets popular, links will roll off the front page fast (especially the free links). From there, I learned that traffic is very valuable.

"If content is King, traffic is Queen."

True enough. BuzzBadge goes to WriteAbout.Us. Hope it gets popular soon (taking BuzzBadge along).

Buzzing LinkExperiment - The Next Million Dollar Idea



We have heard of Million Dollar Homepage, a page that made one million. After the phenomenon, sites copying the same idea make their appearances all over the Internet, with variations from pixel to links to tags.

Brandon Rowe, a 23-year-old amateur runner is having another million-dollar-in-the-making site. The idea is simple, the homepage will host 100 links, horizontally organized from highest bid to lowest bid. The 101th will be pushed off the homepage. To stay on the list, one must outbid other bidders. It is now documenting 429 link, with $400 as the highest bid as of this writing. Well, it all started with $0.01 per link! Now the minimum bid is $16.75, which gives you the last spot on the page.

What is going to happen?
The site will get more popular, more press attention and more links and traffic. The bid can only go higher and higher. This idea is so good as it is balanced. As the popularity increases, the bid increases too, the owner is able to monetize every marginal increase in the site's popularity and traffic. The revenue generated by the 100 links does not stop there, it rises. The owner is definitely making more than $16.75 a day now with new bidders outbidding old ones.

Total revenue generated as of now: $7,592.00
(it is fun to keep it tracked)

The Buzz goes it LinkExperiment and its robust business model.

Update: A better version is found here: WriteAbout.Us.
