			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I have interviewed Todd Garland from BuySellAds.com. Todd is the founder of BuySellAds, and has worked on many other web projects. <a href="http://buysellads.com" target="_blank">BuySellAds</a> is an advertising network that makes it easy for both publishers to sell ads, and advertisers to purchase ad spots. Its a win win situation. Publishers just sign up, register their site, create their ad placements and insert the code within their website, and BuySellAds sells their adverts, so publishers can focus more on site content. Todd has worked very hard to make BuySellAds what is is today, so read below to find out about Todd&#8217;s story.</p>
<p>Ps &#8211; Even we use BuySellAds! Check out <a href="http://buysellads.com/buy/detail/327" target="_blank">our page</a>, more ad spots coming soon!</p>
<h3>Tell us a bit about yourself?</h3>
<p>Let’s see… well, I’m 28, happily married, I have a trusty dog, and I live in Boston. I’m from Maine originally, and I once lived in Porto Alegre, Brazil for a year. If I’m not in front of the computer you can usually find me relaxing with my wife and family. I really love to surf, but we just don’t have easy access to good waves here in Boston. Before BuySellAds.com I was Lead Designer and SEO Guru at HubSpot.com (<a href="http://hubspot.com/" target="_blank">hubspot.com</a>), an internet marketing company. And before HubSpot I was a partner at a Boston based interactive agency Mindfire (<a href="http://mindfire.com/" target="_blank">mindfire.com</a>). I love startups, and I love trying to build stuff that is actually useful. There’s no greater reward than being able to make a person’s life easier with a software app or interaction.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hubspot.com" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1540" title="2" src="http://www.webdesigndev.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/22.jpg" alt="2" width="542" height="167" /></a></p>
<h3>I understand that you are the founder of BuySellAds.com but what is your role and job within BuySellAds.com?</h3>
<p>My job at BSA is to make sure that people are happy, that we continue to grow, and that we are constantly providing value for our users. In terms of actual day-to-day tasks it’s really just about managing the business. I interact with users daily through escalated support cases, coordinate development efforts with our lead engineer, work on development spec’s and design for some projects we have in the works, interface with advertisers directly and create custom proposals, etc. So while the site does run itself pretty well, there’s a lot going on behind the scenes to make a users experience *<strong>special</strong>*. We’re really trying to push the envelope on some new development efforts and we’re not on cruise control by any means. I can’t wait for the day when I can finally go to bed at a normal hour.</p>
<h3>What made you start BuySellAds.com?</h3>
<p>I started <a href="http://buysellads.com" target="_blank">BSA</a> because I was frustrated. I was running two design related sites as a hobby, and selling and buying ads for those sites. The entire buying and selling process took way too long and was really inefficient. A solution like BSA didn’t exist for me (a small to medium sized publisher). Sure, there were ad networks like AdBrite.com, but I thought that I could do it better. I also didn’t have any money at the time, and saw this as an opportunity to make at living at something I am truly passionate about.</p>
<h3>How long did it take you to develop BuySellAds.com?</h3>
<p>The initial site development took roughly 6 months if I remember correctly. I had been working on it off and on, and not full time, but from initial commitment to the idea until it was essentially ready to launch was roughly 6 months. As simple as the site may appear, the entire payment processing, ad serving, etc, was actually hard to get *<strong>right</strong>*. That was the first version of <a href="http://buysellads.com" target="_blank">BSA</a>. The second version, which was a complete re-write from scratch (crazy, I know), actually only took about 4 months and a decent amount of that time was in making sure that we were able to transition from the old version to the new version while re-architecting the entire system.</p>
<h3>How did you go about promoting your ad network at first?</h3>
<p>I took a grass-roots approach. I contacted site owners who I had known from running my other two sites. That and I just did good honest business. The initial approach was to just earn peoples trust, make them more money (which was easy because they had awesome websites), and continue to improve the <a href="http://buysellads.com" target="_blank">BuySellAds.com</a> site. Keep in mind, all of these people are trusting us with their money, so it’s important that we do this right. The other way we attracted people was by having a reasonable commission structure, no other ad network can boast a 25% commission fee that includes any and ALL related fees (credit card processing fees, PayPal fees, payment fees, etc). I think it also helps to have a personality and be a real person too, which can be rare online sometimes. The thing about BSA is that we actually do care and are trying to create long term relationships with our users. Being a real person online goes a long way these days. We can also make our publishers more money and put higher quality and better targeted ads on their site than most ad networks. Quality is definitely one of our advantages.</p>
<p><a href="http://buysellads.com/buy/detail/327" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1539" title="1" src="http://www.webdesigndev.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/15.jpg" alt="1" width="542" height="322" /></a></p>
<h3>Do you think the internet is suffering from the recession?</h3>
<p>I think it depends who you talk to. In our case we are young, growing strong, and haven’t noticed any slowdown from the recession. But if you look at someone on a larger scale like DoubleClick or AdSense they’re definitely feeling some pain as evidenced by Google’s Q1 revenues. The internet as a whole, yeah, I’m sure that sales are down in general, but I actually think it’s a good thing. It forces us to really focus and figure out new opportunities. It forces advertisers to get smarter, and ad networks to innovate.</p>
<h3>Where do you see BuySellAds.com heading?</h3>
<p>Our plan is to keep pushing. There is still a lot of opportunity for us in the web design and development space. Some other verticals in our network have started to grow a little bit, but we’re still focused on the web design and development niche. We’re continuously improving our application, and working on ways to innovate in our space. There are some projects we’ve had in the works since launching version 2 of the app in April, and we’re just now getting close to launching some of these efforts. There is also something particularly interesting that will be launched in a couple sprint’s that people should look out for, too.</p>
<h3>What advice would you give bloggers trying to monetize their blog with private advertising?</h3>
<p>Do what you do best, write content that drives readership and improves your site. Let people like us at <a href="http://buysellads.com" target="_blank">BuySellAds.com</a> do your dirty work and handle your advertising. Any time spent managing advertisers, responding to requests, etc. is time that could be better spent creating new content. We’re at a point now where we can really leverage the reach of our network and provide larger advertisers with decent volume. Chances of them reaching out to you directly isn’t big. Additionally, I have always been a firm believer that you need to build up your readership before you start selling ads. If you start selling ads from day 1 you’re not going to earn their trust and respect as easily if there are no ads on the site. Once you have “proven” yourself to them and earned their reader loyalty, chances are we can then add value to your site by putting quality advertisers on there for you.</p>
<h3>How would you recommend publishers add value to their advertisers to encourage them to advertise month after month?</h3>
<p>The absolute best way to add value for advertisers is to continue to publish great content that attracts more visitors to your site who might click on their ads. And, remember, it’s not just about clicks, it’s about conversions. So, you want to be sure that you are writing quality articles that attract new readers for your site and not a bunch of stumbles or a bunch of half page loads from being on the Digg front page. I would also recommend that they too check out what their advertisers have to offer. Since I monitor all of the ads that are sold at BSA this is often how I find out about cool new products that I might be interested in using myself. Test out their products, and if you like them, write a review or give them a shout-out or something.</p>

I have compiled a list of how web designers can promote themselves, and get their name out there. Some of the ways require little to no effort, whilst others require much time. Either way, you will still receive more clients. If you would like to share any others you may have, drop a comment below.</p>
<h3>Maintain a Website</h3>
<p>If you maintain someone else&#8217;s website, the owner may spread the word about your services. You could maybe ask for a small link at the footer of their site, linking back to your site, which will gain some exposure.</p>
<h3>Create a Blog</h3>
<p>Creating a blog can bring in loads of traffic, and maybe even clients. If you write great content, other people will link back to it, and it will rank higher in search engines, so its a win win situation.</p>
<h3>Network Online</h3>
<p>Use online social networks such as <a href="http://www.facebook.com" target="_blank">facebook</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/Andy92" target="_blank">twitter</a> and <a href="http://www.digg.com" target="_blank">digg</a> to promote your blog articles, design work, and do personal networking with other designer.</p>
<h3>Create An Email Signature</h3>
<p>Putting a signature in all your outgoing emails can generate alot of traffic, especially if you send alot of emails.</p>
<h3>Purchase And Design Business Cards</h3>
<p>Business cards can generate alot of business. If you have a nice eye catching design, and something that is unique, there will be more chance of people looking into your services than if you had a plain business card design.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1425" title="1" src="http://www.webdesigndev.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/170.jpg" alt="1" width="542" height="280" /></p>
<h3>Create a Portfolio</h3>
<p>If you put up all your work into a nice online portfolio, clients will be able to see your work, and websites will link to your work if its of amazing quality.</p>
<h3>Participate In Forum Discussions</h3>
<p>Participating in forum discussions can generate buzz. If you have a clear standing opinion to many forum threads, people will begin to look into who you are, what websites you have etc. The forum threads will be in search engines, thus giving you long term promotion.</p>
<h3>Get Personal</h3>
<p>If you are personal and unique with your designs, people will see you as unique.</p>
<h3>Volunteer</h3>
<p>Contribute to open source projects / non profit online organizations. It looks great on your portfolio.</p>
<h3>Create A Forum Signature</h3>
<p>If you put your website link or even an image in your forum signature, and it looks eye catching, people will click it. Then you just have to post more threads, and reply to them, and it will get your link all over the forum.</p>
<h3>Buddy Up</h3>
<p>Get another web designer as your buddy. You can work together, give each other work and help each other out. Win win situation.</p>
<h3>Blog Comments</h3>
<p>Participating in blog discussion, by commenting on other peoples blog entries can give you traffic back to your blog. If you post a good comment that many people are likely to read, then you will get clicks.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1426" title="2" src="http://www.webdesigndev.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/230.jpg" alt="2" width="542" height="150" /></p>
<h3>Guest Post</h3>
<p>The Internet is full of opportunity. Many bloggers big and small go on holiday, and love to take breaks. They might like you to guest post on their blog, and this means you can post link backs to your own site, when it says article written by. Especially if its a big blog you are guest posting on, you will gain loads of exposure.</p>
<h3>Participate In Design Competitions</h3>
<p>Don&#8217;t be shy. There are many websites such as <a href="http://99designs.com" target="_blank">99designs</a> and <a href="http://forums.digitalpoint.com" target="_blank">digitalpoint forums</a> that hold design competitions. This can give you opportunity to showcase your work, and show people what your design skills are like.</p>
<h3>Word Of Mouth</h3>
<p>Tell people about your website and the services you offer. Your friends and family are sure to tell other people about you.</p>
<h3>Get Yourself / Website In The News</h3>
<p>Do something to get your website or yourself in the news / talked about over the blogosphere. Sponsor a charity event, turn your website upside down, it will work!</p>
<h3>Trade Ads / Link Swap</h3>
<p>Web Designers can help each other out. You can trade links and add them to each others blogroll, or even trade image ads such as 125 x 125px.</p>
<h3>Develop A Relationship With All Your Clients</h3>
<p>If you develop a personal relationship on a one to one base with all your clients, they will respect you and maybe even come back for more work or better yet, refer you to their friends.</p>
<h3>Submit Your Work To Web Galleries</h3>
<p>Web Galleries love great design work. Some web galleries online are immensely popular, so if your work gets on the front page of them, you will receive thousands of clicks back to your work, which means more clients.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1427" title="3" src="http://www.webdesigndev.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/324.jpg" alt="3" width="542" height="200" /></p>
<h3>Hold Contests On Your Website</h3>
<p>If you hold contests on your websites, people will tell other people about the contests if it has a great prize, and it will generate alot of online buzz.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Internet is full of places to go for professional web design. But sometimes people are spoiled for choice, and can find it hard to make a decision on where to look for professional web design. Well we have weeded out all the bad choices, and narrowed it down into a nice tidy list. I am recommending <strong>all</strong> 20 of these online websites to go to for professional web design.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone,</p>
<p>There are many websites online premium Wordpress themes for sale, such as <a href="http://www.woothemes.com/amember/go.php?r=7306&amp;i=b0" target="_blank">Woothemes</a>, <a href="http://themeforest.net/?ref=IncomeDiary" target="_blank">Themeforest</a> and <a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=987947" target="_blank">Ultimate Blogging Theme</a>. People can purchase themes, and edit them to make it fit around their site&#8217;s niche. Today Andy and I have put together a list of our favourite 20 great Wordpress theme edits.</p>
<p>The big issue everyone has with buying a premium wordpress theme is &#8220;I don&#8217;t want my blog to look like anyone else&#8217;s&#8221;. I feel the exact same but the benefits of buying a premium themes make it a great decision. For example, most themes come with multiple colour palettes so that if your mate has a green version, you can just change it to a bunch of other colours. Another benefit we found great is that it&#8217;s great if you want to quickly monetize a blog because they all come widget ready and include options to quickly add, edit and delete adverts for your blog. If you take a look at IncomeDiary which is another blog I own, it runs the same theme as this site but they look very different, for those who wondered, we use the <a href="http://www.woothemes.com/amember/go.php?r=7306&amp;i=b0" target="_blank">BusyBee theme from Woothemes</a> for that site. Apart from that the other obvious benefit is its a cheap way to get a highly performing and well design blog theme, you would have to pay thousands of dollars for each one of these if you went else where.</p>
<p>The one issue I had with personalising my theme was getting a logo design. I know we don&#8217;t need to have a professional logo but I&#8217;m one of those people who like perfection. If you want edits done to your blog or to get a logo designed I recommend a variety of websites including <a href="http://99designs.com/" target="_blank">99Designs</a>, <a href="http://www.sitepoint.com" target="_blank">Sitepoint</a>, <a href="http://forums.digitalpoint.com/" target="_blank">DigitalPoint</a> and <a href="http://www.talkfreelance.com/" target="_blank">TalkFreeLance!</a></p>

<p>A logo redesign can give a company a new face. I have put together a nice collection of 25 logos that have gone through a redesign. The old logos are on the left, and the new ones on the right. If you want to add any more logos to our collection, or even the next collection, drop a comment linking to the old logo and the new logo and we will be sure to add it.</p>
