Adam, how much do I owe you? hehe. Myself and Adam had a little bet on that if I said ‘em’ in any of my sentences then i’d owe him $0.25 cents everytime I said it. If I didn’t then he’d give me $10. But I think I said it a few times. Ah well :(.
Smorty is a new service which allows advertisers & bloggers to connect. Smorty allows advertisers from all over the internet to submit their website in which bloggers can then review these websites and then write articles on them.The articles would be then published on their blog to basically gain extra, yet strong content to they’re blog and also make a bit of money from this. In shorter terms its kind of ‘blog advertising’ although doing it in a review type way.Smorty also have a really neat sidebar which shows all the statistics that you really need to know such as the posts which the blogger has taken up to write about, the posts in which have been approved or declined and posts which have expired. Under this section is information about Your Earnings, basically letting your know how much you’ve made overall on your reviews, it also lets you know how much you’ve made in the past 7 days, the last month and it also lets you know how much your stil awaiting.Smorty also offer an affiliate program, like any other its another stream to go down to make revenue from blogging. Anyone who clicks through and signs up through the banner or text link, you will gain commission.So, if your an advertiser and want to get your site or product advertised and reviewed by potential bloggers then visit Smorty. If your a blogger on the other hand and want to earn some money writing, then again sign up with Smortyto do so.
Yay, I am now an official Macbook user. I’ve always wanted a Macbook, so now I have one. Great eh?!Once I get a new blog online (will be a vloggin based blog - i’ll go into more detail about it in my next video blog update) I’ll be vloggin daily and will be updating from various places and will be getting people to help me out (friends & family) in joining in and taking part in video blogging. Should be a good laugh.Regards.
It’s been a few days now since I put EFP up for sale and unfortunately, I’ve not had much interest. One person is really interested in the domain although I’d prefere to sell as a package. So because of the lack of updates, I’ll just continue on like before until I get a bid :).
Free Reviews
I was thinking of a way to repay my readers by offering two people the chance to get a free review written about any of their websites by myself. So if your interested, the first two people to post in the comments section - PAID FREE REVIEW! - will simply get a review of any website they wish.
Caption Contest
Below this post I ran a little competition for someone to win a free advertisement banner… I’ve decided to cut the contest short because of the lack of updates and just choose a winner now. So the winner is (drumroll please…)
Dave - ‘Image 5 - Help support a child this winter. Donate to the down syndrome charity today.’
Haha! Sorry, but as soon as I read it I really did LOL. So Dave wins it. I’ll post the advertisement banner up when I complete it.
As most of you may know I am a Windows user and the only chance I ever get to mess around on a Macbook is when I visit the store in Glasgow, which is literally only a 10 minute walk from my University. So yesterday me and my mate grant took a look in and we ended up staying for an hour! Literally laughing our heads off… I don’t know about any of you Mac users, but how much fun is PhotoBooth?!
So to have a little extra fun on EatFruitPlease I want to do a little competition. Below are five images which we took yesterday, I want you to come up with a caption for one of the images and post it in the comments section. The person who comes up with the funniest caption will win an advertisement of their choice for any of their websites.

There we go. I will also be getting these on PhotoBoothGallery.com soon aswell. I’ll be announcing the winner when I recieve 15 caption comments. Oh by the way, you can check out other funny pictures we took here.
I’ve been thinking hard about EatFruitPlease as a whole and I think i’m going to be selling it off soon (skin & domain), I have other plans for some of the domains I have…. to make a new blog obviously! I want to continue blogging because its fun and it always gives me something to do, but I just feel that EatFruitPlease isn’t right. I have the domain www.freelancesuite.com which I might develop into a freelance blog/tips/resources etc soon and make it my personal kinda blog too, although I plan on developing a nice little blog for freelancers.
I’ve also booked up to go away on holiday, 15th June 2008 - there is 11 of us going this time and we’re off to the place I went last year - Magaluf. Me and my mates loved it that much we’ve decided to go back, only with more lads (never go a holiday with girls - trust me, take far too long to get ready lol). So i’ve that to look forward to. It’s also my birthday soon (a big 18!) which is on Febuary 22nd but I am holding a big party on the 1st of March, so if your a bit adventurous and wild why don’t you contact me and i’ll personally give you an invite!
Anyways, not much else happening, just getting used to the skin now. Possibly a few changes to it shortly to make users feel more at home, although big plans personally for a whole new blog scene.
Finally, I have everything sorted. And eventually, the new EatFruitPlease is online! I’m so chuffed, I’m really happy about the way it’s turned out, I’d like to that Amaresh Ray for all his help (i’ll add a link to his site when I find out which site he owns) without him the new version wouldn’t have been able to be online.
EatFruitPlease - v.Shocking.
I’ve decided to give this theme a little catchphrase - v.Shocking. Catchy eh? Anyways enough slabbering onto the main stuff. Firstly, I would like to thank the guys over at Xenvion for an amazing job on the logo, looks sexy. I’d also like to thank you guys for patiently waiting on this, been a while since I posted so i’m going to make this a worthwhile read.
So, this time I have fully sidebar/widget compatible sidebars. I will be adding more features later to my blog, I just want to check out some of them first. You’ll see some widgets being introduced and then see them disappear again, this is me just simply testing them out.
What I am aiming for is for this new design to boost my traffic a little and also bump up that RSS feed - so if you haven’t done so already, subscribe to the rss feed :)!
Advertisements
125×125 advertisements
You’ll notice that this time EatFruitPlease has space for 125×125 advertisement images. There are four currently available and are selling at $15 per month. This $15 will get your exposure to around 200 unique visitors a day, the overall traffic range which EatFruitPlease gets a day. If interested then please email me with your name and 125×125 advertisement image, I will then reply to you with my PayPal address. As soon as the money is sent your advertisement will begin - please note that you will recieve an email around a week before your advertisement will expire
468×60 Advertisement
This is another newbie to EatFruitPlease, something that’s never been seen before and that is a 468×60 advertisement image. For your advertisement to be displayed on here monthly it will cost $35. Again if your interested contact me.
That’s basically it for now. Yet again, if you’d be kind enough to subscribe to the rss feed, i’d be grateful.
I’m really sorry about the lack of updates recently, I’ve swapped my internet over to 8meg (previously I was running on a 1meg connection) but now i’m back for good.
The new design should be up tonight, just a few errors and stuff to be fixed and that’ll be it, so check back soon!
Okay, so its now the year 2008 so shouldn’t there be new changes? I’ve decided that because of the new year I should be thinking about ways of making EatFruitPlease more readable and accessable. I will be having a new design up shortly as you can see by the small logo above (curtosy of Xenvion), I’m going to have a whole new look.
So sit tight and wait for it, shouldn’t be too long
MaxBlogPress have recently just designed an amazing new plugin which I found out by viewing John Chow’s latest post. The plugin allows you to add advertisements or any link source you wish to the very top of your screen. This is really useful as it is the first noticeable thing that a visitor lays eyes on, so I’m going to take this further and will be selling 5 text links all with a Weight of 4 for $20 each per month. Basically all the ‘Weight of 4′ means is all advertisements will be rotating the same and will be displayed equally. The higher the weight the more exposure it’ll get - 10 being the highest.
You’ll notice i’ve added links already, these are just link backs tomyrecentblog posts which I have all set them with a weight of 2.
