They’re not necessarily A-list bloggers, and they’re chuffed enough to post an article with a link to Blekko and Blekko gear.

My first major website made money through contextual advertising (Google Adsense) and selling ads on a CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions) basis. I was running a community site at the time and besides premium memberships, they aren’t that easy to monetise. This is probably why Seth Godin refers to eMail as Memail.
