Affiliate Confession Reaches 1000 Comments

Posted by Alan as Ramblings

I wanted to take the time today to thank all of the readers of Affiliate Confession and I especially want to thank those that comment and carry on a discussion here. This blog has reached a significant milestone. As of last week, 1,000 comments have been left by readers other than myself.

I had been watching the comments rather closely and was going to make a big deal of it when it actually happened, but the 1,000th comment came in on April 4th and somehow I missed it. Friday’s are usually a very busy day for us and consequently I don’t spend much time online that day and I also didn’t bother to check the totals on Saturday or Sunday either. Today I checked and found that  I was actually a bit over the 1,000 comment mark.

I am immensely grateful for those of you that take the time to read Affiliate Confession and kind of awed by the fact that people would really give a rip about what I have to say. A heartfelt thank you goes out to all those that contribute to the interaction that goes on here. Please continue to tell others about the information you find on this blog.

So, who actually left the 1,000 comment? It turns out to be a friend of mine, Lawrence Salberg of Salberg.org who writes on a variety of subjects over at his blog. One subject Lawrence (Lonny to his closest friends) likes to cover is dumb job ads and in this one he pokes a little fun at a recent ad by PayPerPost founder Ted Murphy seeking candidates for his new venture IZEA. Lawrence has even been fortunate enough to get a writeup by Michael Arrington on TechCrunch because of his interactions with a headhunter recruiting for PayPerPost. I would personally agree to hallucinogenic drug experimentation by the CIA to get exposure and a link such as this, but Lawrence gets it for free. Anyway, thanks for contributing.

And thanks again for everyone else who posted 999 comments before Lawrence. I appreciate you adding to the discussion.

    Hi Allan,

    Congratulations on reaching the 1000 comment mark. This is a significant milestone. Well done :)

    On another note, I have a suggestion for a future post (unless I’ve missed it in your archives). Who designed your sight? I think it is really well laid out, and looks really sharp. I think other people might be interested as well.

    Just an idea!

    - Dave

    Hilarious. Thanks for the link-love, Alan.

    Here’s the really sad part about that TechCrunch article - I wasn’t even trying. I just sent it to Mike because I thought he might find it of interest that Murphy’s clan was bad mouthing him (again) behind his back. He said, “Wow. Train wreck. Can I publish this?”. I (sadly) gave it about two seconds of thought and figured, “Sure, why not?”. About a half-million emails later from PayPerPost “posties” (fans of PayPal - who knew?), I sort of questioned why I did that. They are a vicious bunch of thick-headed lunkheads.

    Oh, well. Mike’s a great guy and didn’t deserve the beatdown he was getting.

    Keep it real, Alan. I can hardly believe you’ve become the uber-blogger that you have. I remember when you didn’t even have a blog.

    Now, here’s a real challenge for you. Why don’t you and Jean come babysit the six children so Nikki and I can go on a date sometime? That should give you something to blog about in case you run out of material. Nah… you’ll never run out, me thinks.

    Looking forward to all your future posts….

    Congrats! I like readng your blog because you do keep it real. Even though my blog isn’t about making money like most are, I still like to come here to get ideas and just basically listen to what you have to say. Out of all the blogs I’m subscribed to, I actually enjoy this one the best. Keep going strong and stay real!
