How Did It Start?

At some point, some of you may ask how the idea for The Webmaster’s Edge started. It actually started quite some time ago, but was put on hold due to other projects. I had posted a list of ad networks to a private forum that I and John Chow belonged to and he asked if he could post it to his blog JohnChow.com. I said this would be fine and he said that in return he would promote my Webmaster Resource Site once I launched it. His post can be found on his site here. The list started with ~130 Ad Agencies and I have been growing it since that time. I will be integrating the list that I have been keeping since that time into the “Ad Network Listings” section of this site.

It has been about a year and a half since I spoke with John about this site and I am hoping that he still would like to give me the “John Chow Bump” (ala The Colbert Bump?) with a blurb about this site on his Blog once I go public with it.

In the beginning the Ad Network Listing will have brief descriptions of each Ad Network, but will eventually include detailed reviews and interviews. It has an open rating system and comment system for Webmaster’s to discuss their experiences with these Networks and give the Networks themselves a chance to respond to these comments.

I will begin filling in the Ad Network details this week and should probably be able to finish inserting the information I currently have sometime next week. By that time I will hopefully have made the necessary PHP and MySQL upgrades for MediaWiki and then can begin fleshing those out. Once I have the templates finished and a few entries made, I will begin promotion, search engine submission, and can begin getting into the “real meat” of the site.
