Another month slipped through my fingertips! Gone in a flash. So, it’s time once again to show some appreciation for all the support I have received over the past month. And, I have some news on making comments and some new advertising opportunities! So, without further delay….
Entrecard Advertisers
A big heart felt “Thank You” to those who have purchased Entrecard ads here on EzGreatLife. There are now thousands of blogs to choose from on Entrecard and I REALLY appreciate everyone who has spent their hard earned ec’s here!
Next up, a giant “Thanks!” to all of my regular droppers! Again, you have many choices of where to drop and I am thankful you decided to spend a “drop a day” on EzGreatLife. I am changing the ec give-a-way for the top 10 droppers because Entrecard has limited ec transfers to 1000 per week. So, I am going to give 50ec to each of the ten “top droppers”. I used Random.org to randomly pick one of the top 10 to receive 500ec. The #2 was picked this month and that makes Turnip of Power the winner. Congratulations Turnip! Here are the TOP DROPPERS for September:
| Blog | Drops |
| Mommieshome.net | 30 |
| Turnip of Power | 30 |
| Enfotainer – Enfotain Your Mind | 30 |
| The Ad Master | 30 |
| verITableLIFE | 30 |
| Thailand Land of Smiles | 30 |
| Review Blog | 30 |
| 60 Were Enough | 30 |
| Online Games | 30 |
| Realm of Prosperity | 30 |
Commenting Just Got Better
Another huge “Thank You” goes out to those who have taken the time to comment and participate in the conversation!
DoFollow – Several months ago, I instituted the DoFollow policy here on EzGreatLife. I didn’t really make a big deal about it at the time, but thought I should make an announcement at some point. So there you have it! Comment away and get some search engine love!
Top Commenters – Last month, I added the Top Commenters plugin. You will notice a number next to each commenter indicating how many times they have commented. Also, in the right hand sidebar, you will find the listing of Top Commenters, highlighting those who comment the most.
CommentLuv – Today I added the CommentLuv plugin. So now I’m passing on a bit of luv to my commenters by providing a titled link to their last blog post. Go ahead, give it a try!
Advertising Opportunities
I am very excited to announce that over the next couple of weeks I will be introducing some new advertising opportunities. Last week, I incorporated Project Wonderful ads into my posts. Scroll down past the posts on the main page or to the comment section of individual posts and you will find a set of four ads. So, while you’re leaving a comment, don’t forget to check out our sponsors! These have done very well so far. At least I think so! All ads are booked as of this writing! This is a very low cost advertising opportunity, so book your ad NOW!
Here are the EzGreatLife traffic stats as of 10/01/2008:
164,865
3/10
76,510
1344
I am very pleased with my Alexa traffic rank and my new PR3 from Google!
In the coming weeks, I will be adding some very reasonably priced ads to the header and sidebar, so stay tuned!
Thanks again to everyone for all the visits, ads and drops!

Looks like you have great stats John. Congrats on your PR3! My stats just got dumped in the toilet! I just bought my own domain so I have to start all over again! But in the long run it will be better having my own domain name. Have a great day! (I want a PR – lol!)

Just to let you know: I surfed to your site from entrecard – as I usually do – and it turns out that according to Google Chrome – your site links to other sites known to contain malware.
You may want to look into that – as the option google gave me was to check a box that says “I understand that this site may infect my computer” — if Chrome gets popular – that will not be good for business.
Good Luck.

Thanks Joe, I’m on it. It would be nice if it told you which website contained the malware. It’s strange though, I use the AVG browser extension to detect sites containing viruses, malware and such. It comes back clean. I will say that I have read nothing but bad reviews of Chrome, particularly concerning the TOS. Anyway, thanks for the heads up. Take care!
