Foolish Readers,
What a week! Here’s a recap of the madness. First of all, I concluded the March contest and launched one of the biggest blogging contests on the internet to date. I thought this was enough, but I was wrong.
The ‘make money online’ blogging community absolutely exploded after OneMansGoal.com (commonly known as “One Mans Failure”) was sold off for an unruley $10,000 price tag… basically five times what it should justifiably have been sold for. This fueled a lot of back-and-forth finger pointing as to who is nice, and who is a jerk scammer. 
In the stock market, things were hectic. Starting the week very uncertain about the future after GE’s dismal earnings report, the market completely reversed trend thursday-friday as Google release earnings that blew away expectations. Other than Google, who received WAY too much attention, some huge players like Honeywell, United Technologies and even our financial friends like Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase announced earnings and future guidance that were very uplifting.
Here are some of the best links for the week:
- Blogger Unleashed – Another DumbFuck Is Born LMAO!!!!
- Jason Boom – Weekly Implosion: Entrecard Ad Rate Changes
- Think Like An SOB – How To Pwn Craigslist And Kijiji
- Caroline Middlebrook – 6 Valuable Post Types and When To Use Them
- 45n5 – Adsense Secrets Scam Alert
- Zac Johnson – Pay Your Taxes With a Credit Card?
I think that the war among bloggers really reached a pinacle now. After adding more and more fuel to the fire in week past, as bloggers posted rants about why the ‘make money online’ industry is overcrowded, or why it has room to grow, things were primed for this eruption. My personal view? Let the fool that took over the website, paying 5-times too much and getting himself in a whole lot of trouble, take his hits. If you are going to throw money at something, you need to learn your lesson. No bailouts here. So what if you are put in a bad deal? It’s your responsibility to know what you are paying for, so if you aren’t doing your homework… its your own fault when you get burned. 
On to the contest!
We’ve had a great showing thusfar for Jimvesting’s Outrageous Blog Contest. I am going for some new readers here, and a good amount have showed their faces thus far… not to mention the several posts I have already received in promoting my contest.
Want another way to get an entry?! I’ll give you two.
Stumble a Post (1 entry)
Digg a Post (1 entry)
Stumbling and Digging are mass-networking methods that I completely advocate here at theNetFool.com. These two social bookmarking tools have already grabbed a ton of awesome publicity for the blog and I see this trend continuing. It’s as good as four comments, and an easy way to bump up your chances of winning the contest. Best of all… Digging and Stumbling is easy, so get on it!
This week, I am going to post a solid stock market sub-industry post, of which I have not yet determined. Other than that, I am planning on writing up an interesting money-making scheme post to help you all get a little richer. I hope that those of you that got links enjoy the free publicity and return the favor. It’s Blue and White weekend up here at Penn State, so it has been a bit nuts. Have a great rest of your weekend. And please, stay bullish on the net!

Just a heads up- You are breaking Stumbleupon’s TOS by offering an entry to your contest for a stumble.
Not that I’d report you, but it’s just a heads up.
Good luck with the contest!
unTECHy’s last blog post..How to sell and buy Entrecard credits
unTECHy is right. Don’t do that or even the Digg. It’s seen as gaming the system and it’s not worth it. What if they banned you and one of your post could be StumbleUpon or Digg?
