Some Questions About Blogdigger.com
Where were the corporate sponsorships? I saw the Google Adsense bubbles, but this site should be raking in the corporate sponsorships, especially those with RSS feeds (ie., the major periodicals). Also, I wanted to find out how to make my blog searchable, but I couldn’t easily find that answer. Maybe they can add a FAQ section for those of us that are still new to the blogosphere.
