PrestoGifto & PopShops - Two Cool Shops for Blogs

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I found these two shops for blogs … PrestoGifto and PopShops. PrestoGifto integrates CafePress products in your blog and PopShops integrates products from Commission Junction, Linkshare, ShareASale, LinkConnector, Performics and Red Galoshes, so you will need to be a member of these networks to utilize these shops.

If you look at the links in my nav bar, you’ll see Blogger’s Shop. That is a PrestoGifto shop. The one that says Books and Stuff is the PopShop. So far, I’m getting a lot more clicks on the PrestoGifto (CafePress) products, but I just installed these yesterday so it’s too soon to tell how either of these will work out.

Both shops are easy to install and integrate. PopShops takes a bit longer to set up since you can choose up to 100 products. Both of these shops are still in Beta but seem to function beautifully. PopShops has a feature you can install that will put a little pop button in your “write post” bar and you can pop a product in the post. I’ll pop one in here to show you … lol. They do have a much larger selection of products to choose from so if you aren’t pushing “blogging thongs” not to worry. You can choose your products by keywords. Very simple to add an ad to your post with PopShops. Read the rest of this entry »

Getting Traffic to Your Blog from Your RSS Feed

Author: wahm

A friend in a forum that I’m a member of ran across This article by DotSauce with at least 55 active RSS directories that accept your RSS Feed link. I spent a relatively small amount of time submitting this blog to all of them and have noted a big increase in traffic pretty much immediately. If you’re into domaining, DotSauce is a great online resource in addition to the very useful RSS Feed list that he posted.

Here’s another list I found of directories to submit your blog to and in some cases, your RSS Feed. Some of them are redundant, but some are new.

My Top Five Recommended Blog Directories:

1. Best of the Web Blogs

2. Blog Catalog

3. Blog Hub

4. Blog Flux

5. Blog Wise

Other Blog Directories To Consider:

Blogarama

Globe of Blogs

Blogbib (paid or reciprocal required)
