Last Call for BE
They have gone and done it again!
If Jeff and his team ever managed to come up with an idea of their own, I would eat my hat. What have they copied this time I hear you ask?
They have gone and got themselves a BlogExplosion store, just like BlogMad did at least 2 weeks ago. BlogExplosion lack creativity on all levels and this recent announcement once again proves that.
Ever wanted BlogExplosion apparel? As we prepare to finalize the sale of BlogExplosion tomorrow, we have been working hard to clear our project log and get out as many new features as possible before the new owners take over. Check out the BlogExplosion store where you can buy cool customized BE clocks, t-shirts, coffee mugs and bags.
At least the BlogMad apparel looks half way decent, I'm sorry but I wouldn't be caught dead in the get up that had a huge ass shitty BlogExplosion banner on it.
One does wonder why they are creating such features if they are selling as early as next week, I mean all this hardwork for nothing? Ok, maybe not nothing, but they aren't going to benefit from it, so why do it?
I love how they justify it by saying they're clearing their work log, do they repaint their entire house before they vacate the premises, after someone has already bought it?
I'm waiting for the big announcement of the new owner, as it was apparently finalized yesterday. They got their $100,000 miminmum asking price according to reports and even then I think the price was too high.
Everyone get your champagne glasses at the ready, Jeff has crumbled and sold his "baby" as the pressure of competition got too much. So long sucka!!

Where do you see that? According to Alexa his name is Thomas Dalberg.
If his name was really "Thor" I'm sure I would know from my inside source.
Was not by me.
The comment will be remaining as I find it quite ammusing BE sheep are coming over posting on here as "anonymous" or trying to be me.
Now an actual BE related update and its trending in the "right" direction.
Here are some stats for BlogExplosion as of today. I hope the buyer of this site takes note of the downward spiral.
Now those numbers are quite a drop all at once....
As you can see a slight spike in the traffic, but still quite a drop for a site with its 50,000 members. I wonder if fake traffic has been bought to increse the so called "trend in the right direction".
What I find to the biggest hypocritial moment of the BE saga is the newsletter that was released a few backs. It was directed at BlogMad....
Demand excellence no matter what site you use!For that reason BlogExplosion is a difficult site to manage. There have been lots of negative things said about us just because people have nothing better to do than to be negative or because we have kept spammers, cheaters and people with nothing good to say off of BE. When using competitive sites make sure they provide full stats (not just counters) and make sure they provide quality traffic for your time on the site.Games and puzzles are cute but do send you quality traffic? Do they offer all of the features that BE does? Can you surf by category? Can you flag sites for profanity or mature content? Can they be cheated or allow auto-clicking programs to work? Do they display all of their traffic numbers on the site and tell you the whole truth? Are they still in perpetual BETA?Keep track of your blog stats. See where that traffic is actually coming from. Keep track of unique percentages, time per blog visit. Demand the best return for your surfing time. Ratios dont mean a thing if the quality of traffic is not there. Stats never lie and you should always keep them for your blog.
And yet, on the BE official blog, they announce the following in a matter of a week...
Coming Soon - New BlogExplosion Game - Blog Tycoon
New ShoutBox Game - Crazy Jacks
Along with all their other games, isnt that pot calling kettle black?
