Blog and Podcast Recomendation



I stumbled across this great podcast, PediaCast. The podcast is run by a Pediatrician, Mike, who discusses issues with kids and answerers listener questions. The podcast address everything from vaccinations, tooth fairy, potty training, bow legged toddlers, and much much more. If you are a parent this is a must listen. The podcast has a blog written by Dr. Mike's wife, Karen.

What are ways that you reward good blogs or good blog post? I found this article on the blog, Coming to a Nursery Near You, that addresses this question:

Active Rewards

  1. Post a comment.
  2. Stumble the post, or submit it to other social media like Technorati and Digg.
  3. Click a Pay Per Click Ad. (That catches your interest)
  4. Mention the post in your own blog and link to it.
  5. Drop an Entrecard on it. (Lame, but they pay me to mention Entrecard)
  6. Buy something using one of their affiliate links
  7. Donate money to the author through paypal. (It happened once to me!)

Passive Rewards

  1. Sign up for the site’s RSS feed or Mailing list.
  2. Install the Alexa toolbar for Internet Explorer, Sparky or SearchStatus plugins for Firefox (This benefits everyone you visit, including yourself)
  3. Bookmark their Google search link so they get credit when you search.
  4. Bookmark the site, so you visit in the future.
