Blue Blood was founded by Amelia G. in 1992 as a counterculture lifestyle magazine showcasing gothic, punk and pre-Internet cyber-culture. The company later transitioned to the Internet, spawning a variety of entertainment sites in music, fashion and erotic media.
“Blue Blood has always been very involved in literary circles and has published many of the heavyhitters of genre fiction,” Amelia G. told XBiz. “We've got some very experienced writers with huge credits blogging for SpookyBlog, and I expect we will rotate a variety of talented authors through in order to keep the voices fresh.”
SpookyBlog includes photos of the day, hosted free sites and a full hosted TGP. SpookyCash officials said site affiliates have been emailed the code for linking to the URL, as well as the specific SpookyBlog feed code. Affiliates now have the option of promoting SpookyCash with a simple text link or banners and also can receive the benefit of distributing their reference codes through RSS technology.
Additionally, if an Internet surfer who visits SpookyBlog through an affiliate link adds the blog's feed to a syndication reader, such as FeedDemon or NetNewsWire, the affiliate reference code is then preserved indefinitely within the surfer's feed reader. In short, affiliates are paid even for sites an Internet surfer joins via syndicated posts.
“I've actually received thank you notes from longtime affiliates for putting out such an innovative tool,” Amelia G. said. “I'm honestly and gratefully stunned by how appreciative SpookyCash affiliates have been. I mean, we put out new hosted galleries all the time, but those just get traffic, no thank you notes.”
Company officials said affiliates can also use the new feed codes to incorporate SpookyBlog posts on individual blogs, as SpookyBlog’s automatic updates are designed to leave bloggers free to concentrate on traffic. A blogger also can create a feed using its affiliate feed code in many of the popular blogging services and then promote users, adding that affiliate coded feed to their regularly viewed aggregator friends pages.
“Being involved in writer circles and the blogging community, I think it just made sense for us to make a tool that would be helpful for people we know,” Amelia G. added. “I predict that blogs are going to be very important in the adult space online, but they are not there yet in the way that they are in other arenas. I am very excited that SpookyCash is pushing the tech envelope on what adult webmasters can expect in their sales tools.”
