Exclusive Podcast: Performancing Sold to Splashpress Media

Posted by: Aaron Brazell

David Krug on the Sale of Performancing to Splashpress Media.

  • Aaron can’t pronounce Dave’s last name.
  • David will be running the site and Splashpress Media will be operating it.
  • The status of Nick Wilson and Patrick Gavin - they will continue to develop the Scribefire plugin (formerly Performancing for Firefox).
  • The goals and intents of Performancing going forward revolving around community and ad sales and metrics.
  • The surprise that is the Performancing purchase/turnaround.
  • Competing with Text Link Ads?
  • CPA Network for bloggers? Is that really effective?
  • Is there a new approach to blog advertising in the future of Performancing?
  • Keeping the Performancing brand?
  • Music by STAN.

Update: Title updated. Partners was not sold. Performancing.com was, however. Via Darren.

    Nick fucks another business, screwing over loads of people on his way.

    Every thing Nick touches seems to turn to shit. How long before his latest ventures fuck up and his clients regret it ?

    Twitter Pitch!

    <p>Twitter pitching is a form of pitch that requires succint "what does this mean for me" kind of pitching. It is the ultimate efficiency of words. You have 140 characters or less to tell me why your pitch matters to me or my readers. Please include a means of contacting you. This is included in your 140 characters. If you send successive pitches, you will likely be ignored, unless it's obvious that the first pitch was a case of "accidental send", etc.</p> <p>This form of pitching does not mean I'm being a diva. It means that my time is valuable, and you want a piece of it. It's good practice for you, and delivers your pitch in a format I want. Win-win.</p>
