We bought AuctionAds.com :)

Readers, I am happy to announce TLA’s parent company, MediaWhiz, has purchased AuctionAds!  I have been working with Dave Dellanave (left) and Jeremy Schoemaker (middle) on this project since day one and it’s a great success story.  MediaWhiz started off as a minority share holder in AuctionAds and as it continued to grow and grow we knew we wanted the whole thing!  In just four short months we have grown to over 20,000 publishers.

SPONSOR POST: Buy and Sell Simple Text Link Ads

Text Link Ads has a unique solution for both publishers and advertisers. Publishers can sell simple text ads while retaining editorial control. Advertisers can purchase static html ads that can drive targeted traffic while building link popularity which is a top factor in search engine rankings.

Creative Link Building: Parody Sites

Readers, I came across this site today and it definitely gave me a chuckle and I had to give it a link: JohnCow.com  It is a spoof off of the popular JohnChow.com domain and a great example of a way to get links and traffic by piggybacking off the success of another website. 

Now getting links to a parody site may not be a big money maker itself but once you have a popular parody site you have the option of diverting some of the link goodness off to some of your other sites.  I know there are many more examples of parody sites on the web but I couldn’t think of any off the top of my head, what about you?
