Comments on: No More BlogKits For Me http://www.hmtk.com/archives/266-no-more-blogkits-for-me.html It's all in the luck of the dice Sat, 31 Jul 2010 05:58:16 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Steve http://www.hmtk.com/archives/266-no-more-blogkits-for-me.html/comment-page-1#comment-231 Steve Fri, 19 Jan 2007 16:46:51 +0000 http://www.hmtk.com/no-more-blogkits-for-me/#comment-231 Jim, let me say right away that you have never tried to sell me a bill of goods, you have always been upfront about things in regards to BlogKits. I respect the idea behind BlogKits but it just did not work for me. I wish it had worked for me because it is a lot less work slapping some code onto a website than hunting down appropriate afilliate partnerships. If there is one thing your service did teach me it is that afilliate networking works. It just needs to be focused and geared towards your content. This post was not meant to be an attack on your service though your back-end could be more informative and "leads" should either be explained or removed from the reporting areas. *I* will not be adding it back in but if I encounter bloggers who can not acquire the requisitte knowledge to monetize their blog on their own I will send them your way. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Jim, let me say right away that you have never tried to sell me a bill of goods, you have always been upfront about things in regards to BlogKits.

You are much better off seeking out affiliate partnerships on your own, based on your niche, than trying this service." I think you're absolutely right, and that's our business model. 99.5% of 63 million bloggers are not marketers, or care to be. You are a great exception, because you understand online marketing, and you even care about it. BlogKits wasn't really "built" for you specifically. You're the exception, not the rule, and that's a good thing for you :) However, I do believe it will work for you if you keep it up! Check out this case study from successful BlogKits publisher Mathew Ingram. http://www.blogkits.com/blog/?p=84 “BlogKits was extremely easy to set up and to install on my blog, and even though I’ve only been using it for a few weeks, it has already started to pay off.” Again, even if you don't put our ads back up, we thank you for trying. It's all about trying and seeing what works!
