I’ve an opportunity to try Zookoda today, a service which lets you build your subscribers lists with minimal effort.

Built with bloggers in mind, Zookoda combines the power of blog marketing with email marketing by providing tools for bloggers to build and manage their own newsletters through their blog.

The Zookoda newsletter is a very convenient feature as most of us (bloggers) do not have enough time to maintain newsletters and blogging at the same time.

This is because besides of functioning as a normal Newsletter, Zookoda lets you send your post daily, weekly and monthly in a fashionable way.

A great tool for marketing blog, this feature will help you manage your blog subscribers and newsletters at the same time, thus saving your precious time of having different lists for your subscribers.

My Experience
I’ve tried Zookoda first hand for my blog email subscription, so far what I can tell is it surpasses all my expectations from a free service like this, because normally I would have to spend at least USD19.95/mo to get a service comparable to Zookoda and those paid service has no little to no integration with marketing blog that I own.

Now with Zookoda, I can easily coordinate my list building effort on my blog as well as my opt-in pages as opposed to have to have a separate subscribe button for each subscription.

In my calculation, this alone will triple my subscribers and will increase the chances of potential customers among my blog readers to each of my product offerings.

Anti-Spam Policy
As a note, Zookoda respects users privacy and strongly opposed spamming pratice, as a result, each of your email list has to be approved before it will go ‘live’ and you are required to affix your business address at the bottom of your newsletters. The subscribers will also receive subscription confirmation to deter the practice of email spamming.

A Peek at Zookoda Control Panel
Finally, I’d like to share with you the Zookoda Control Panel screenshot, I think you can get a lot of great ideas just by looking at them :)

Try Zookoda, it’s free and convenient !

I found this Google ads from Pinoyhack blog via fakapster

I know some people consider nude pics and nudity as an art, but does this means that you are safe to put your google ads on the same page as those pics? Sounds like a grey area to me.

Wonder if anybody ever advertised or put google ads on website filled with nude pics that might borders to pornography?

Congrats Aizatto!

I’ve planned to publish this post earlier but I think it’s better for Aizat himself to announce it on his blog about the news that he won the first place in eGenting Programming Competition 2006.

FYI, This is the first time he entered eGenting Competition and he’s the only person that uses Ruby to solve the eGenting questions.

Seems that winning 1st prize in eGenting programming competiton going to be a nice addition to his CV.
