New Ways Of Pimping Out Me Blogs Part 2

Following on from the last post about the new wave of money earning opportunities for bloggers, here's another one I've just spotted (Via Mefi). Creamaid is a marketing / blog widget, tool, Web 2.0 thingy. For instance, you can earn $10 by blogging about McDonald's and installing a widget on your blog post.

The service looks very new, there's not a lot of cash opportunities attached to it at present, but it's an interesting idea. It's sort of like the PayPerPost model and ReviewMe but with an added Web 2.0 spin.

From a promoting your site point of view, they could do with a bit of work on getting the most from the actual blog posts people are making. Not all the campaigns include URLs to the host companies in the actual blog review / conversation. The links are there in the Flash widget, but it's Flash - search spiders tend to ignore it. Spiders. Can't. Read. Flash. Uh-oh...

But, that's me with my get them links mentality, as a buzz generator, word of mouth sort of thing I'm sure it could do well. The name's a bit funny mind - sounds mildly adult to my childish ears, but, a silly non-descriptive name is just what you need to succeed in Internet 2.0
