Home Business Hippie Blog

Another great reminder for everyone who blogs from Ted Murphy at Izea is to first make sure you have your own domain name plus make sure your host always for javascript here’s why:

SocialSpark relies very heavily on the IZEA Toolkit (ITK), a piece of javascript that is installed on your blog. This code is what allows us to track your traffic, rank your blog and provide performance metrics to our advertisers. It is also used to serve up our new Blog Sponsorship display advertising option.Many of the free hosts like Live Journal do not allow you to install javascript on your blog. This will not preclude you from utilizing SocialSpark entirely, but it will greatly impact the amount of available Opps you qualify for and you won’t be able to take a Blog Sponsorship.

If your going to do advertising on your site it only makes sense to have your own domain name it looks more professional especially to any advertisers.
