A catch phrase will go here soon.

Jensense interview and Search Engine Strategies panel tomorrow

8/7/2005

Did an interview last week with Jensense, one of my favorite blogs (I read every post from start to finish). We’re not at $1M in Google Adsense just yet, so the headline is a little misleading, but we did break a record last week, breaking $2,450 for the first time. I think we’ll hit that ~$2,700 daily number next month. Of course, we keep raising the pay rate for bloggers, so even with this growth it’s not enough to cover the 100+ bloggers. That’s ok for now because we’re investing in our blogs.

I’ll be on panel with Jen at Search Engine Strategies tomorrow in San Jose. The panel is called Earning from Search & Contextual ads and Jen has a write up here.

Bunch of folks linked to the Jensense story (I found on Icerocketand Feedster):

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.
