Minkmedia is the latest network of Blogs to launch. This one is based in the UK and describes itself as:
‘Mink Media is a nanonpublisher. We publishe a series of weblogs (five so far) aimed at a British audience.
A weblog is a topical website, new stuff appears at the top, and it updates frequently (more than once a day). People are excited about weblogs (or blogs)–we basically think they are fun to read.’
Mink Media is run by Azeem Azhar and Shehnaz Suterwalla
They are offering a few opportunities for advertisers to partner with them – either as a premium sponsor (privately arranging banner ads etc), via Blog Ads or text ads via Adbrite. They are also running Google ads and Amazon affiliateships which is a good idea until they build up a high enough readership to run more premium sponsorships.
They currently have two main blogs running – these being:
– Wanda Lust – a blog about Travel
– Honourabloe Fiend – a blog about politics in Britain
They are open to being approached by bloggers wanting to join their network and I’ve no doubt we’ll see them add new blogs to their two current ones shortly.
It’s not a million miles away from what a lot of US firms started 2 years ago BTW.
