Opportunities at b5
If you don’t follow the RSS feed over at b5media you might have missed a few opportunities that we’ve been advertising for including:
- a call for sports bloggers – particularly on baseball, hockey, football (American), basketball – but on other sports too
- a call for celebrity/TV show bloggers
- a call for a WordPressologist
Also we announced a fun new blog – Kapped – a blog that three of our bloggers (Ingrid, Erin and Jayvee) are having a load of fun with – taking screen captures from films, TV shows and video games and adding captions. I surfed through all the screen caps so far yesterday and found myself having quite a good giggle. I’m not sure how commercially viable it will be with Adsense – but I’ve just added it as my home page and think it’ll provide me with some entertainment each day.

My guess is that any purely contextual ad system will struggle on Kapped because there’s not much machine-readable content. Maybe some affiliate programs would do better, merchandise on the shows parodied, etc.
Still, it could create quite a buzz as and generate traffic which in turn will boost linked sites. I enjoyed what I saw as well, could become a favourite (and I presume you have to visit the site from a feed as well, else you don’t see anything except the titles).

I can see that I have to step up my blog efforts. I had been shooting for a post a day and none on weekends. From your comments here I can see I am well short of what needs to be done. I am new to the world of blogs and as I review your site see that I have much to learn. I look forward to other helpful tips as I learn how to build a successful blog.

The feed on Kapped is broken, it points at b5media (which returns nothing) instead of at kapped.
