Also, Simple Mindz (simple-mindz.net), Pinay Wife Speaks (pinaywifespeaks.com) and April Cherrie (aprilcherrie.com) will be featured on Blogsvine till the end of this month. Thanks for their posts about this and Blogsvine on their blogs - here, here and here.

Okay, here comes the update on the “All Blogs on One Vine” Free Banner Advertising Campaign.

You can call this the Round-II Result. But I am going to call it a Random Top Blogs Selection Round as there were so many blogs to select from. We got nearly 700 submissions in the last 7 days and choosing only a few blogs out of these was actually a horrible task, especially because most of these blogs were of great quality with plenty of useful articles and posts, from some or the other point of view. So, I decided to randomly choose 11 Blogs out of these good quality blogs and feature them on the Blogsvine Banner Spaces for a week.

I’ve also got some suggestions from couple of our members to link to the blog’s home page while featuring these blogs. So, these banners will now link directly to the Blog’s Home Page.

So, let’s not write long. Let’s come to the Random Top Blogs from Blogsvine

Group A: (One Month)
(Blogs that have directly referred maximum traffic to Blogsvine by writing about us)

• 1. Mr. Javo dot Com (Post)
• 2. TechBanyan (Post)
• 3. GlobeIRC (Post)

Group B: (One Week)
(Blogs that are carried forward from the Round-I Result)

• 4. BendzG - Gaining Genius from the Global Goldmine
• 5. AlosBlog - News About Everything
• 6. IT Rush - Quick Gadget Reviews
• 7. WyriHaximus.net - The Tech Blog
• 8. Read My Mind - Monologues of a Luckless Dreamer
• 9. Weird Link - The Resource Blog

Group C: (One Week)
(Blogs Randomly selected from among Top Quality Blogs submitted to Blogsvine)

• 10. Brajeshwar - The Technology Blog
• 11. Tech-Ex - The Tech Expert

PS: If you are one of the winners, I will really appreciate if you can mention about this or Blogsvine.com on your blogs. That will really help us spread some words about Blogsvine.

So, these are the 11 Blogs that will be featured on Blogsvine. There are many other blogs that we think, should be featured and these blogs will be featured in the coming two weeks. So, if your blog is not appearing in the list, I hope it will appear in the next list, that is coming out next week

Thank you everyone for the great support
Cheers,
Nk

PPS: All Banners will be up in few hours, as soon as the banners are ready. If you want to display a custom banner, please send us one at admin at blogsvine dot com.

This is just a quick note on the “Submit to Blogsvine” (Plugin) URL format.
If you have added a custom “Submit to Blogsvine” on your blog, please use:

http://blogsvine.com/vinethis.php?url=

instead of:

http://blogsvine.com/submit.php?url=

The “vinethis.php” will check if the URL has been submitted already and if not, it will call the submit.php. Otherwise, it will directly add a “Vote” to it (if the URL is already submitted to Blogsvine).

Thank you for all the support and spreading the word around.

Have a wonderful day.

Plugin Name: Blogsvine Wordpress Plugin V1.0

Download Link: Direct Link (1 Plugin file + Instruction txt file - 2.36KB)

Demo link: Blogsvine Blog

Adapted from a WP Plugin Originally developed by David Hobson

Tested on Wordpress 2.3.1 and above.

Hope everyone will find this Plugin Useful.

Here are some details on our new “All Blogs on One Vine” campaign.

If you take a look at Blogsvine.com, you will find 12 72×72 banner spaces being reserved, just below the header. We will be giving out 11 of these banner spaces to out bloggers in the coming weeks. And the one remaining will be linked to this blog entry.

There are two Categories of Banners as described below:

Category 1:

Out of the 11 72×72 banners, 4 banners are reserved for the best blog stories/articles/entries submitted to Blogsvine.com. We will start to look out for the best blog entries from today and we will announce them on Wednesday, 19th March ’08.

Category 2:

The other 7 72×72 banners spaces are reserved for those blogs who show us more love by talking about Blogsvine on their Blogs. We will divide these 7 banners into two sub-categories – Category 2(a) - 3 banners for the most well written reviews of Blogsvine on their Blogs and Category 2(b) -4 banners for the most popular reviews of Blogsvine (based on the traffic that they refer to us at the end of 7 days from now, i.e. March 19 2008).

So, how long the banners will be shown on Blogsvine?

For Category 2, the banners will be shown for 1 whole month. (From March 19 to April 19, 2008)

For Category 1, the banners will be shown for 7 days and then we will select second round of blog entries to be displayed for the next 7 days, till the end of Phase 1.

The whole “All Blogs on One Vine” campaign may repeat again after this First Phase if it turns out good both for our bloggers and for us.

Requirements:

For Category 1, simply submit your blog stories to Blogsvine.com. Only Blog Stories will be counted and not Blog Home Page URL as a whole. The Banners will also link to the single Blog Entry and not to the Blog Home Page.

For Category 2, you have to send us an email at admin[@]blogsvine.com with a link to your Blog Entry on or before March 19, 2008 to qualify. We will send back an acknowledgement email for all entries. You can write about anything, in any style and in any format with a link back to Blogsvine.com and a mention about this blog post. If you can mention our slogan “All Blogs On one Vine” somewhere in your article, that will be awesome. And also, the banners can be linked to your Blog Home Page.

Please note that the decision of the Blogsvine Admin will be final on how who will win the banner spaces. All updates will be reflected on this blog and we will also send out email to the winners of the Banners Spaces.

Hope to see all Bloggers participating on this Campaign. Let’s bring “All Blogs on One Vine”.

Cheers,
NK

PS: Once you got a banner space reserved for your blog, we will either get a 72×72 banner created for your blog or you can send us one. Thank you.

PPS: We will come up with the results on 19th March ‘08, 12.00 pm GMT.

Our Alexa Rank crossed a whopping 50K mark yesterday and below are some screenshots:

Hope the trend will continue.
