			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was just catching up on Twitter (do you <a href="http://twitter.com/kimarketing" target="_blank">follow me</a> yet?) and read <a href="http://twitter.com/problogger/status/981572563" target="_blank">Darren Rowse&#8217;s tweet</a> about BlogRush shutting down.  What?!  I knew nothing about this and swear I just saw the widgets on my sites.  I immediately clicked on <a href="http://workinmypajamas.com/">this blog</a> and saw an empty space in the sidebar. So I clicked on over to <a href="http://blogrush.com/" target="_blank">BlogRush.com</a> to read John Reese&#8217;s notice that BlogRush is now indeed dead.  It was exactly six months ago that <a href="http://workinmypajamas.com/recommendations/increase-your-blog-traffic/">I recommended BlogRush</a> as it sounded like an interesting concept to filter traffic between blogs. I can&#8217;t say I received an increase in traffic from it, and obviously it wasn&#8217;t fruitful for others either.</p>
<p>So, it&#8217;s time to move on to bigger and better things (and fill up the empty space in my sidebar) -  I&#8217;m giving <a href="http://www.scratchback.com/" target="_blank">Jim Kukral&#8217;s ScratchBack TopSpot widgets</a> a try. Please hold as it says it only takes thirty seconds to sign up&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.scratchback.com" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" style="float: right; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 6px;" src="http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s104/shopbook/workinmypajamas/scratchback_beta_300-1.gif" alt="Scratch // Back" width="160" height="20" /></a>Okay, that was quick and painless.  I had to rearrange my sidebar to get it the TopSpots widget to fit, but I think it will work.  There were 16 style choices.  Although Style C would have been my first choice for this particular site, I went with Style F to fit the sidebar better.  I could have picked the &#8220;Tip me, &amp; I&#8217;ll Get NAKED!&#8221; style, but you already have to put up with me in my pajamas, and I didn&#8217;t want to scare off any more visitors.</p>
<p>I decided to only add 5 spots to start with because if nobody &#8220;tips&#8221; me, I think I&#8217;ll look like less of a loser only having five empty spots available as compared to 10 or 20.  If, I mean when, (think positive, think positive) I sell 5 spots, I&#8217;ll open it up to 10 and so on.  Look right. Look right &#8212;&gt;</p>
<p>So there you have it.  It&#8217;s only $5 to get a &#8220;Top Spot&#8221; (you get to specify URL, anchor text and mouseover message) which is cheaper than buying me a drink in most places (although locally I can get my Rootbeer Schnapps with Diet Coke for only $2.25). They say money can’t buy happiness, but it sure can rent it for awhile.</p>
<p>Okay, gotta watch Sarah Silverman on Jay Leno. I love her <a href="http://houseforkim.com/blog/2008/10/15/yep-im-endorsing-obama/" target="_blank">The Great Schlep Video</a> and her <a href="http://houseforkim.com/blog/2008/03/07/can-i-fck-matt-damon-too/" target="_blank">Matt Damon video</a>. She&#8217;s another one of my girl crushes (right behind <a href="http://www.shoeaholicsanonymous.com/styles/boots/my-girl-crush-ijustine/" target="_blank">Justine Ezarik</a> and <a href="http://www.shoppingbookmarks.com/blog/2008/10/08/mamma-mia/" target="_blank">Melissa Salas</a>).  G&#8217;Nite!</p>
