Lipped Media

Kiss Me, Stace has been mentioned, star-featured and newly linked-to a lot in these last few weeks. The most notable being an exclusive, recurring (6 times) feature on New York Metro’s “collective wisdom about the Fall 2006 shows.” Our fashion blog was among names like WWD, Style.com, the New York Times and British Vogue, and one of only 4 blogs included.

The rundown included quick summaries and sentence quotes from each featured article, including this gem of Ella’s, “The show was the fashion equivalent of a mime on a street, no words to speak to me.” (From a review on DKNY.)

This goes along with New York Metro’s overall recognition of blogging and an entire section on the business of blogs.

We think they’re fabulous.

The blogs in Lipped Media have Joined the Glam Network. They recruited us and have been really great. I’m easing the ads into each blog and tweaking the layouts. It’s going to take a couple of days. But the ads are now live on Kiss Me, Stace.

Kiss Me, Stace turns 1 years old, today! Ella is trying to prepare a little something, which will pop up on her blog, later today.

These weeks are the most hectic for shopping bloggers who are also students! Oy!

But some great things are happening at Lipped.

• I’ve formed some great advertising deals for Kiss Me, Stace and Pursed Lips. (Including a deal with BizRate.)
• Thanks to new blogger, Mallory Road, and all the more postings, Pursed’s visit count is rising steadily.
• Kiss Me, Stace’s and Pursed Lips’s visit counts have jumped by 50 on average, this month. Since the summer, it’s risen over 100 on average.
• I’ve managed to optimize the earning potential for Kiss Me Stace’s Adsense program, through a tricky process. Earnings are coming in wildly from all of our sources!
