I've added the feature you requested. To display the PageRank within a post/page, just use the following comment where you want the badge to be displayed:

I've also updated the post with this information.

So you want to be able to just display the badge on a particular page or
pages of your choice? I'll have to see if I can modify it to allow you to
display it with a particular tag/HTML comment within a post/page. Thanks
for the suggestion.

Impressive. Is there a way to not use it as a widget? It'd be nice to have on a page such as “Advertise” so the person wanting to perform business sees you have a developed website.

If this is offered, I might be tempted to try it.

Either way, awesome plugin!

At this moment in time, I have it way down in the bottom right corner. There's a lot of scrolly to get through to see it.

Nice plugin. I saw a couple of badges from other sites, but they seem a bit shady. Lots of scammers waiting to prey on innocent users. This one seems harmless.

You now what, this is one hard contest we have going on. But yeah, I agree with you, comment spamming is not the way to do it.

Comment on Two Ways to Reclaim Your Feeds from FeedBurner by K-IntheHouse

Excellent post for anyone using Feedburner. Thanks for linking to my post on turning off Feedburner redirect.

In fact, doing that can help with getting some link juice when you leave comments in blogs with dofollow/CommentLuv enabled (like mine).

Sumbled!

I found that #1,2 and 3 is quite effective. Even I don't write blog a lot, but many people start visit my site and would like me to try their service for free. Like this one, I'm sure one or two will click and visit my site.

Anyway, thanks for sharing. Happy 2009!

Thanks for the MyBrand link. The screenshot there shows that the CNAME for those not using AdSense for feeds is feeds.feedburner.com, so I'll update the post with that info.

Comment on The Brilliance of the Izea Kmart Campaign by GeekLad

GeekLad — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 14:10:49 +0000

According to the MediaPost article, Kmart did see an increase in the Virtue Social Media Index (SMI) from 12.8 in November to 23.21 last week. I just checked it now, and Kmart's SMI is at 35.6. Certainly the campaign was successful in increasing the mention of Kmart within social media, but the true measure of sucess in my opinion would be how much EBIT it produced after deducting the expense of the campaign. Unfortunately this would be something very difficult to measure, because it would be lost in the noise of the daily fluctuations in sales, seasonality, economic conditions, etc.

Very cool stats regarding your new subscriptions, inbound links, and Twitter users. I'm pleased to learn the event had more positive effect than anything else. Even when a few people criticize your actions, the noise they make has very little effect on the many others that trust you. I can't imagine anyone wanting to stop following you on Twitter or unsubscribing to your feed after the event. In fact, I think what is happening is quite the contrary. They are probably waiting in anticipation of the subsequent interesting things you have to say regarding social media and online marketing.

The effectiveness of the campaign is actually documented on Mediapost.com (I think that's the site). Kmart was so happy they tried the same thing with their Sears brand. So, I dunno.

(DISCLOSURE: I'm on the fricken advisory board for IZEA, so I hope they win, so maybe I'm a bit biased, and I was in the campaign so I hope it's successful, and not because I want $500 more, but because I had a blast testing out another model for people making money. And I had shrimp quesadillas tonight for supper, and I drank some free wine from South Africa, and I .. have I disclosed enough? Oh wait - I'm not a journalist.)

There was something else. I forget. Oh yeah. I got 1000 new RSS subscribers, about 300 inbound links, and another 2000 twitter users since the problem. It didn't hurt. I can't answer about Kmart stats. I don't work there. I just buy toys for tots there.

Yeah I read about it and was inundated by Kmart and Izea messages. Great - I still haven't gone into Kmart or suggested Izea to a client. I saw the whole thing as a bunch of noise without any signal.

Thank you for opening my eyes to these blogs! I'm sure there are tons of gems like these, but, without articles of these, I would never find them.

Thanks for the mention, Jorge! Very much appreciated. Agreed about Bwana as well, I don't know where I'd be without it. Thanks for the shoutout!

Keep up the good work, bud.
