There was a time last year when it wasn’t exactly clear whether blog advertising was going to be accepted in the mainstream market. But after 2 years of operation, IZEA (formerly known as PayPerPost) is still around and going strong with over 100,000 bloggers in their network. IZEA changed their name to reflect their growing services base. Not just PayPerPost, the blog advertising marketplace, any longer, IZEA includes several service platforms including RSS Brief, Blog in Space, and the Blogger’s Choice Awards, IZEA has recently released a revolutionary social marketing network named SocialSpark. It’s a social network driven by bloggers and advertisers where the advertising is 100% transparent, 100% disclosed, and 100% real including Google-friendly No-Follow tags on all links.

IZEA is becoming to blog advertising as what Google is to search advertising. I wouldn’t be surprised if Google was secretly in negotiations to acquire the two year old IZEA and all its web properties. Blogs are still going strong and have solidified their place on the Internet as a legitimate information and discussion forum. As blogs are here to stay, blog advertising is going to only grow as marketers and advertisers seek to gain more exposure on more channels.

I love web design! Although my focus is primarily on blog themes and design, I can appreciate the beauty of a well planned out and designed website. I must have spent 5 or 6 hours searching through free Wordpress blog themes in order to find this one here. I just liked the color scheme and simplicity of the layout. A little customization in cpanel and XML later and my website directory and links page works nicely in the overall theme!

Sure the dealership’s access to manufacturer credit for a new car Auto Loan is one way, but its not always the best. Accordingly you need to know your options and even have external financing ready when you walk into the dealer. Credit Unions have been a good source for this second loan route but I just found another way — Apex Auto Loan. They have access to a Nationwide network of banks and credit providers. For new or used cars, they can line you up financing before you walk into the dealer.Even if you are not ready to buy this weekend, visit their website and use the free Auto Loan Calculator. It is a great tool to help you figure out how much can you can afford. Just don’t forget to factor in the price of gas!

Here’s something near and dear to my heart — the scalability of business operations. I see it every day at my company. Right now we are undergoing a huge market upswing in our products and our sales and marketing organization is being flooded with RFPs and RFQs. How can an organization provide quick turn around to proposal requests and scale their business to meet market demands? This is where a solution like Configure One’s Concept™ Product Configurator Software comes in. The Concept™ Product Configurator (Sales Configurator) is a program application which can scale and customize product and service offerings with little setup time. A web-based, platform independent IT solution, the system allows you to create highly customized product offerings quickly and accurately. In my business that would mean being able to reduce our proposal and tender cycle time from 2 weeks to half that or less.

Having a product configurator working for your S&M team means they can quickly create customize offers. This not only pleases the customer (who doesn’t like a quick turn around time?!), but it also improves the quality and reproducibility of your proposals.
