If you haven’t seen it yet, bla.st has a business card directory that is a mixture of the business card museuem and Google AdWords. Pretty cool actually.
The premise is this. Upload your business card and people will see it. That’s about it. You can also pay (the AdWords part) to have your business card listed higher. I don’t know how much traffic this thing gets, but in 6 days I have not received 1 visitor from the site!
Pay at your own risk. Oh, here’s the link to my business card at bla.st!
Did I mention how very Web 2.0 this thing is? I don’t know why except that it has bold lines for a background and uses what looks like Arial Rounded for the font!
Hi, Tim here, creator of bla.st. Thanks for trying it out, your card looks great. I’m running a promotion where if you blog about bla.st, your card is upgraded by 2c/day for a year, which currently gets you onto the front page.
Also, I couldn’t load the website http://www.AfterHimMedia.com/ which your card links to – is your site down? Might explain the lack of traffic!
As for traffic, it’s slowly increasing. Some cards are definitely doing better than others, you can see what’s working at http://bla.st/site/popular/
If you switch to “big” view, then click details under a card you can see how many views and clicks it’s had.
Good to hear from you Tim! AfterHimMedia.com being converted to WordPress as we speak. My developer said it should be done this weekend sometime.
I browsed through the site last week, and have been checking back often…I love all the unique business cards!
