IntelliTxt - Must Have 500,000 Page Views per Month to Qualify

Written by: John

I wanted to try out IntelliTxt to see how it would work on one of my content websites. However, they require you to have 500,000 Page Views per Month to Qualify. That sucks. I imagine it’s some sort of logistical problem to implement their technology if it is going to get less page hits. Not to mention that is probably part of their deal with advertisers. I just wanted to try it out and see how well the text ads worked. I wonder if there is another company that does a similar thing.

Until then I’ll see how PayPerPost does.

What happened to Match.com?

Written by: John

I’ve seen http://www.match.com advertisements all over the web and have often been interested in the site. I mean their ads usually have some hot girl on it that makes me think that maybe they are on to something. Today I ran across their website again and what did I find? A big picture of Dr. Phil. I’m not sure who they are trying to market to, but what are they doing with Dr. Phil on the front page? Maybe they’ve found that older people pay more for matchmaking service and so Dr. Phil fits that market. Maybe Dr. Phil paid them hordes of cash to put his picture up there. However, I’m sure it was the opposite way…Dr. Phil got paid to be on Match.com.

Otherwise, the site kind of sucks because you pretty much can’t do anything unless you log in. I guess if I was single it would be worth a try. Otherwise, I just watch the space because I worked in it previously.

Student City - A College Spring Break Site

Written by: John

I think the worst part of any spring break is having to plan the trip. Student City http://www.studentcity.com has made a lot of that work much easier. Check out their videos, travel deals, or photos and see what I’m talking about. They have a bunch of spring break jobs also which could be interesting for those wanting to get paid to spring break.

I also liked how they had ski colorado listed. While not the normal spring break adventure it’s nice that they have something other than just the beach.
