Late last week I spent a fascinating hour with Holly Becker from decor8 – an amazing interior design blog that is read by over 35,000 readers a day.
This edition of Dot Com Pho has been sponsored by Epic Advertising, who sent along some nice sweat pants. Epic is the parent company of AzoogleAds. They’re the ones putting on the blow out party at the Playboy Mansion in August. To get an invite, you have to be a Top 50 Azoogle affiliate or you can write an essay on why you think you deserve a ticket to the party of the year.

Readers of Times online, be prepared to pay. Murdoch to charge readers for Times online content. Would you pay for news? In this Internet age, it is only a matter of minutes before the news become a normal news and some sites will post it for free. In some cases, the social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, even break the news first.
It is flattering to receive comments from readers. But getting too many comments can be counter-productive, especially spam comments. That just happened to this blog today. I received over 90 comments (see snapshot below) originated from the same person. Each comment basically contained a single line pointing to his or her site. Obviously, it is comment spamming.
That person “representing” sangambayard-c-m.com submitted those comments in a span of few minutes (which include the entry of CAPCHA words). Tedious work for him/her. It is definitely not an automated comment submitter but I do no appreciate such comments.

Earlier in the year I asked readers whether they outsourced any part of their blogging in a poll. By outsourcing I was talking about ‘paying‘ someone else to do something on your blog.
