Blogger Recruiting
We are seeing a lot of great Blogitive Directory sign ups which is great. But we want to push this out even faster. So, we are going to ask for a little help in recruiting bloggers. Starting today we will pay $2 for every blogger you get to sign up to the Directory Network. These must be bloggers that have a WordPress blog on their own domain name, and must have been around for at least 30 days. You will be paid after their first paid posting. We will be doing this until we hit 10k bloggers in the network.
Make sure they put your email address in the referred by so we can give you credit for these.
Also, we will be sending out the first offers through BDN hopefully next Monday. We want to work as many bugs out of the system as possible before we start launching campaigns.
For those of you who have installed the BDN plug in and given feedback, thank you. We are working hard to answer all your questions and make this work even better.
Update: I just got asked a very good question. “What if their site has been around longer than 30 days, but they add a WordPress blog to the domain so they can just include the directory?”
The answer to this is yes, we will accept them. If their site is older than 30 days, and they add WordPress and the directory, we will accept them into the network.

This is very good news, of course, but then why were my two WP blogs rejected recently as not being old enough? They are both older than 30 days by a lot. I have resubmitted them but haven’t heard if they will be approved or not.

I have the same problem as Ann, my WP blog is on a website with an organic PR of 3, and the blog has a PR of 2 - they have both been on the net since Janury of this year. What’s the problem?

3 Questions
1. If I have a website that has more than one blog set up on the site, can I establish directories for both or all blogs?
2. Follow up, do you accept blogs wordpress blogs on subdomains such as blog.mydomainthat-I-Own.com?
3. Follow up to the follow up,
Do you accept wordpress blogs on directories such as www.mattcutts.com/blog/ (note I don’t really have matt cutts’ blog, just an example of the standard wordpress installation.
I have a lot of people and blogs to refer, but I want to understand what I might be referring them to before I act.

More follow ups:
How do we refer new bloggers???
I do not see any affiliate like tracking links nor any sign up process from the directory button itself.
To echo the first two questions, the requirements for the directory seem more lax than general requirements for Blogitive.
Is it possible to be accepted for the directory even when Blogitive won’t accept a blog for the old fashioned model?
PS the video tutorial is pretty good, but I think it would be wise to provide the manual code for people that do not have a meta category on their template any longer. Then we’ll have what we need to insure that the listing shows up appropriately.

I installed the plugin on two wp blogs but it only shows up on one. As Brett suggested, I need a way to make it show up on one of the blogs.

Just curious, but whatever became of this idea? Is it dead or just stalled?
