A company will now be able to add the MIS specification across their entire product line (DVD to Blu-Ray /HD-DVD players, digital picture frames, photo software….) for free.

1 Cool File: Submit Your Blog For Free

Filed Under 1 Cool File, Blogging, Money, News | Leave a Comment
As some of you know, we have an affiliate program that offer 2 things: a 2 tier commission on sold packages and advantages when a blogger do paid reviews, direct or for us. Those will stay.
A blogger may not afford or want to pay. So to submit a blog for free, a blogger will need to do a real short review about 1 Cool File. The suggestions in the reviews will be taken into consideration later on and help prioritize what bloggers want more. That review could also be use to showcase a blogger’s work to potential advertisers. A reciprocal link must be in the sidebar. Unlike paid submissions, the blogger won’t be in the affiliate program automatically.
If a blogger has a second blog, the same rules applies and the review can’t be the same. A blogger may want to wait so to give a second fresh review.
if a blogger don’t want to do a review, the option to pay like before will still be available. Also, priority will be given to paid link.
The goal of no dead blog is still in effect.
So, what are you waiting for? Start that review or pay a little to be first in line
