As you may have noticed, the posting has been a bit sparse around here this week. I was out performing my civic duty, aka jury duty. I’m on vacation (meaning, not at work) for the next 10 days, so you can expect many more posts now.

I would like to thank Carolyn and Andreas for picking up some of the slack in my absence. Thanks guys!!

If you didn’t catch the announcement on the forums … last week John Scott announced the brand-new V7 Directory Affiliate program.  For every new customer that you refer to the directory that results in a submission, you earn a cool $50. 

All you have to do is sign-up for an affiliate account on the site, and  use one of their banners (or make one of your own) to link to the directory with your personalized tracking code.

It’s that easy!  So make sure to sign-up today.  If you have any questions about the program, please direct them to John in the affiliate program annoucement thread at the forums. 

Are you looking to get your message or site out to a large audience?  Then consider advertising on the V7 Tech Blog, or putting one of our banners up on your site.

The V7 Tech blog is a highly trafficked portion of the reputable V7 Network, with a focus on technology and the internet. The site also has a Google PageRank of 6. 

You can benefit by purchasing an advertising spot on the blog, with a 234×60 banner ad placed at the top of all blog pages.  For more information about pricing, please visit the V7 Advertising page.  To purchase an add, please fill out the form or contact John Scott.

Another option available is to become a V7 Tech Blog Supporter.  To become a Tech Blog Supporter, you place one of our banners on your website.  As soon as you let us know that you’ve placed our banner on your site, we will add you to the list of supporters.  You get a PR6 incoming link, and we get more exposure. 

For questions about becoming a Supporter, please contact Julie.  All inquiries regarding Advertising should be directed to John Scott.

At midnight EST tomorrow, the June Geek of the Month contest will be closing.  We’ve got a few submissions so far, but I’m still hoping for a few more.
