Blog About Your Blog is running a contest (Thanks, Working At Home Mom!) I just entered. You can too. Good Luck!
Blog About Your Blog is a central gathering place for bloggers to meet and trade ideas:
"Blog about your Blog (BAYB) is a place for good quality bloggers to come together and collaborate on one big project. We have bloggers from all over the world, blogging about a variety of topics."
It's like gaining access to all the information from all the articles in every newspaper worldwide, without having to obsess about recycling. In addition to researching and trading ideas, you can promote your own blog, generate traffic and help other bloggers promote their work. I need this.
This contest is being run in conjunction with Bidvertiser (love that name!), which helps place your advertising on relevant web pages:
"In 2003, Bpath spotted the need of website owners to sell their ad space directly to advertisers, overcoming the disadvantages of automated systems, like Google's AdSense and Overture' Content Match, where neither the advertiser nor the publisher has any control of the advertisements' quality, pricing and timing. Bidvertiser On-Site Bid Per Click offers website owners with the ability to sell their ad space, automatically, to the highest bidder, on a price-per-click basis, where the price is mostly effected by the quality and popularity of their website."
Having engaged in a wrestling match all last Christmas season with Google AdWords, I find quite appealing the idea of choosing where my ads run.
