All The Cool Bloggers Have Job Boards

March 7th, 2007 · No Comments · Collaboration, Content, Community

…so I created one too. The price is $13 to list a job for 30 days. I wanted to make the price $13.37, nyuck nyuck, but JobCoin rounds off to the nearest buck. There’s a JobCoin widget on the sidebar or you can go directly to the listings here.

If you’re a recruiter and you’re interested in listing a job but you’re recoiling because this thing is brand new and there are no listings there yet, email me and I’ll send you a discount code. (You cheapskate. Just kidding! Ha, ha.) Anyway, if you’re looking for someone to hire, click here to list a job.

I get cruised by recruiters and hiring managers pretty often (three times in the past 24 hours, actually). So hopefully giving recruiters the ability to list their jobs on the blog in a self-service fashion will translate into a lunch a month or so. (Having one hundred different recurring revenue streams that translate into one lunch per month is my new career goal, by the way. And I must say, I do enjoy my lunches.)

Since I’m in pimp-my-blog mode, I should say that I’ve been doing a bunch of metrics and reporting on the blog (as well as the new blog and the secret new blog) over the past few months using Google Analytics and Feedburner. These tools tell us that this blog now gets about 1,400-ish visitors each day, which surprised me. (In contrast, the newspaper I wrote for the year after I got out of college had 10,000 daily subscribers.) About 1,100 of the blog visitors are RSS subscribers and the other 300 are viewing the main site. (The majority of those — about 75-90% — are finding the site through Google search. About 10-20% seem to have the main site bookmarked, and the remainder are finding the site through some other search engine like Yahoo! or MSN.)
