I’m having one of those days where I just can’t come up with anything of value about blogging. Instead, I decided to share a domain and site value tool with you. It’s called DnScoop and it’s owned by my new AIM buddy, Badi Jones.

What’s The Scoop?

DnScoop gives you different values for domain names. After running blogaboutyourblog.com I can see how old it is (10 months 23 days), the PR, value, and how many links we have.

You can find and browse all the inbound links to the domain. For BAYB 17,200 might be a little much to browse!

A small Alexa graph is also available, I was surprised to see how many dips and jumps that we’ve had over the past 6 months.

Site Value

This is where the make money online bloggers should be interested. DnScoop gives you the estimated value of your link on Text-Link-Ads. BAYB is marked at 19$. Not really worth running the risk of a google slap.

There is also a Site Value Report, which gives you the total value the domain should be worth. BAYB is worth 5,150, however with the demand of a blog like this being high and selling well, I wouldn’t take that.

For those looking to buy and sell domains there is also the Marketplace which I am currently browsing.

Blogsweluv has picked up on the entrecard craze and are giving 100 credits for a contest. We thought that wasn’t enough so Blog about your Blog has added another 100 credits to their giveaway.

To entry you can subscribe to Blogsweluv RSS feed, submit a 10 questions survey, or subscribe to Blog about your Blog. There will be a total of 3 winners, first will win 100 credits while second and third will each get 50.

Blogsweluv writes different blog reviews about blogs they love. There are several contributors over there reviewing about a blog a day.

Don’t forget to give BAYB a recommendation and earn 10 entrecard credits for doing so. If you’re looking to start up a contest make sure to contact us and see if we can throw something in the mix.

For those who are waiting for the end to enter, you only have another day left. Our contest deadline is Monday 11:59pm PST time. We’ve gotten some late entries, but there is a great chance for you to win. I’ve been very impressed by some of the entries and I’d love to give everyone a 100$ just for them.

I’d like to thank and mention of course our big sponsor NeverblueAds. Of course our other sponsors Blogging4everyone, Nspeaks, Select Index, and A Links Blog.

If you haven’t entered yet, make sure to check out our Christmas Contest post. We are giving away 300$ cash that is sponsored by NeverblueAds.

In this weeks edition of the Weekly Contest Roundup we have a $5,000 laptop up for grabs (and all you need to do is make a comment), an iPod Nano, $100 cash and a few other bits and pieces including the Nintendo Wii contest which is still going. Read on and don’t forget to take a look at Contest Beat for more ways to win free swag.

$5,000 Dell Laptop

WoWInsider.com (a very well known World of Warcraft blog) got their hands on a Dell WoW Edition laptop that retails for $5,000 and they are giving it away via their blog. To enter all you need to do is comment on this post stating either Horde or Alliance (which are the two opposing World of Warcraft factions). There are a heck of a lot of entries mind you, but for the effort versus the reward you may as well check this one out.

$100 Cash

How2Blogger are running their “Super Sexy Holiday ‘How To’ Contest” and you could win $100 cash by participating. What you need to do is simply make a how to post on your blog; for example, how to milk a cow, how to build a car, how to tie your shoes. Do that, and link back to the contest post and you’ve got 10 entries. You can also gain a lesser amount by doing things such as commenting. For $100 cash this one is probably worth entering.

A $297 Social Networking Script

While I can’t comment on the script itself, I can say that I have seriously looked at buying such a piece of software in the past, and no one needs to be told about the amount of money you can make should your social networking site take off. To be in to win all you need to do is subscribe to their RSS feed and the winner will be drawn randomly. Check out the details here.

An iPod Nano

It seems like every week I blog about one or more iPod Nanos being given away and here we have another one. A site called Trusted Tours are giving one away randomly and to enter you can either sign up for their newletter or write about the contest on your blog.

A Nintendo Wii

Finally, I wanted to remind you guys about the Nintendo Wii contest I am running over at Contest Beat. To enter all you need to do is blog about the contest (2 entries) and if you want to get a bonus entry then just subscribe to the RSS feed via email for a total of three chances to win what is probably one of the top gifts to give or receive this Christmas.

Some bloggers have ignored both PPC and SEO. Time spent on search engine optimization (SEO) or PPC (pay per click) can improve your blog as well as make you more money.

Search Engine Optimization

SEO can be done by simply writing a post with optimizing your titles. We rank very well for posts that were made months ago, some aren’t even relevant to our blog. Before Spiderman 3 even was released, we made a post with an image. That image continues to generate a few 100 searches per month.

The most difficult thing to start with is to figure out which keyterms are right for your blog. You have to be realistic and think which terms will get you the most traffic, that are attainable. We’ve chosen keywords that include blogging, such as blogging tips and blogging tools. For several of our keyterms we’ve been able to reach pages 1-3, which also helps us rank for the longtail keywords.

Pay Per Click

This is the more costly effort, however it can drive the most traffic based on your budget. When using PPC management you want to drive traffic to your website or post that will in turn make you money. Whether it’s a post with an affiliate program, or ads that pay.

This works well for specific niche sites when the amount you get when an ad is clicked is high. By starting with a smaller budget, you can figure what earns you money and what doesn’t.

Comment Friday is back and long overdue. As I mentioned yesterday I got pretty busy so I wasn’t able to get a Comment Friday post up. Which means Zybron has had the blog of the week spot for a while now, we have to get someone new in there.

If this is your first Comment Friday, we give one lucky person a free weekly blogroll spot. Along with that we are also giving that winner 50 entrecard points! I am mostly looking for a certain comment or blog that stands out to be selected as a winner.

I am very interested in anything you have to say. Especially on the topics that has been on this blog lately, like entrecard, TNX, and TLA. Don’t forget to check out our Christmas Contest, our Review of Entrecard, why TNX Pissed Me Off, and the latest about the TLA affiliate program.

We have a surplus of entrecard credits that we would love reward our readers with. Entrecard point giveaways have been pretty successful, entrecard is hot!

On this thread we will be giving away 50 points! All you have to do is comment. I will pick out one person who commented tomorrow. Just comment about entrecard or whatever else you want.

Entrecard Recommendations

Along with our giveaway I am also giving away 10 points for everyone who leaves us a recommendation. To leave a recommendation just go to our Entrecard page and write out a little blurb for us.

Comment Friday Returns

I’ve been missing our weekly comment fridays! I got a little too busy and didn’t have the chance to post them. Tomorrow, Comment Friday returns. Along with a free blogroll link, we will also be giving away another 50 entrecard points! All that just for a comment.

Christmas Contest

Don’t forget to enter in our Christmas Contest where 3 lucky winners will each win 100$ CASH. There are also tons of runner-up prizes. This one ends on Monday Dec 17th, so don’t miss out. This contest has an unusually low entry and we’d really like to get tons of more entries. Tell your friends!
