On Branding And The Future of 9rules
Written by Mike Rundle on November 10, 2006
Over at Bloggertalks.com I was interviewed and talked about lots of fun stuff.
Some things that came up in the interview:
- We don’t care about a blog’s traffic figures when considering them for admission, contrary to many other networks. It’s all about the content, baby.
- A 4-figure bribe from a wannabe member, sorry man!
- What’s going on with Featured and 9rules Live
Good stuff!

Very good interview Mike. It was a great read.
I learned a lot about the behind the scenes work going on with 9rules and look forward to the 9rules Live.
If you can say, how did you swing free dedicated servers from media temple?
That’s really awesome and a huge financial relief for you and the other staff. Do you get unlimited bandwidth too?

Hey Sean, I think we just chatted with them on the phone for a bit one day and they thought we were doing some cool stuff, let us have whatever we wanted. All the bandwidth we want too, we never go down for Digg effects

Ah, the power of the 9rules leaf. Having all the bandwidth you can eat, wow. That rocks.
I can think of a few ways you could spin your power into some other good things for the 9rules brand but after reading the interview, I’m sure you’ve got it all under control.
If needed, I’ve got a marketing background, so my mind is always ticking on ideas and would be willing to toss some your way.

Oh, great interview. I learned a lot. I can go to bed a tiny bit less stupid.

I second Veronique’s thought
I’m glad that some of the thoughts I put in my latest article are in accordance with 9rules’.

I have only one question to ask, how to be a member of 9rules community?

Bat, we open up for a 24-hour submission round once every 4-5 months, and unfortunately we just had Round 5 in October. Subscribe to our blog’s RSS feed and you’ll be notified the next time we open for submissions.

Bat: We do accept submissions outside of rounds but the majority are doing rounds. You can send me some information about your site (tyme [at] 9rules.com) but I’m not looking at any submitted after r5 until after all the new members have been settled in…whoever they may be.
