What’s A Share of Your Blog Worth?

Written by Pablo Palatnik on July 19, 2007

I GET AT LEAST AN IDEA a day of creating a new website/business, etc. obviously, time is very limited and we don’t get to do everything we come up with.

I vividly remember sitting at the Future of Online Advertising in New York about two months ago and coming up with an idea to start a website that measures the cost per share in a blog and the factors that would determine that cost. Basically a stock trade website but instead of buying shares of companies, you purchase shares of blogs.

As I was Googling “PalatnikFactor.com” to see what articles are being re-published online, etc..I came to this link: URLADEX. I guess some people know about this, but a lot of people dont. Thought it was really cool if they only had a better design!

**This website ranks blogs and values them based on Alexa traffic.

PalatnikFactor.com is values at $9 per share! 334 Shares available and the last price change was 2007-07-18 22:45:50.

Some of the blogs/websites I read:

Search Engine Journal- price: $260per share

SeoBook- price: $985 per share

Mashable- price:$1,350 per share

Shoemoney- price:$535 per share

Pronet Advertising- price:$160 per share

Techcrunch- price: $2,350per share

The list can go on……

What’s your blog/site worth?

The New Digg For Online Marketers- Sphinn.com

Written by Pablo Palatnik on July 17, 2007

THE NEWEST SOCIAL MEDIA NEWS site for online marketers is out! Sphinn.com. Sphinn.com was created by Danny Sullivan from Search Engine Land. The site has the look and feel of the blog actually but I have to say, I really do like it compared to all the Digg-like sites out there like my personal own Sojjo.com. It basically has all the same functionalities as Digg and will replace the comments from SEL.

We saw this a few months back with Bumpzee but I believe this will really take off and fast and word keeps spreading (not to say that Sphinn and Bumpzee is the same concept but similar in some ways).

I’m not sure what front page traffic Sphinn home page can generate towards your site/blog, but maybe I’ll find out soon. If you know, please share.

Great Idea. Most of us in the industry now have blogs and what better place to get exposure than a place where the industry will go. Should be a good place to network as well.

The Digg of Sports

Written by Pablo Palatnik on June 28, 2007

As the big websites/portals/communities set the standard for what has become Web 2.0, more and more websites will take the same idea and target a niche audience.

I launched SOJJO.com, a website dedicated and made by users who love to talk about sports. Sojjo.com is the Digg of sports.

“Sojjo was created on the idea of building a social online community for those who are passionate and enjoy the world of sports. Sojjo allows users to have a voice and share their opinions with others. Sojjo is made by users, for users, being the first user-generated content sports news website.

Sojjo’s functionalities include: Creating a user profile, requesting friends, commenting on stories, voting on stories, submitting new stories, and more to come…”

Why? I love sports. I love to talk about sports and the only website I read is ESPN.com and I thought, I’d love to comment on a story, maybe interact with others to see what they think. I love the concept of Digg, always have…and put two and two together and got Sojjo.

I will tell you in further blogs what I’ve done (along with my brother) to make this project what it will become. Many sports fanatics have their favorite place to go and read stories online, hopefully we can establish a community where those users unite, and share thoughts with each other.

Since we are on a small budget for this project and relying on our users to be biggest form of advertising and generating buzz (word of mouth), I was able to create a YouTube commercial for $0.

This project is in its very beginning stages…still in BETA.
