Expanding SUBWAYblogger?

June 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment

So we have been kicking around the idea of expanding SUBWAYblogger to include other cities around the country and around the world. However, we would keep each city separate.

dc.subwayblogger.com
boston.subwayblogger.com
london.subwayblogger.com

MTA Transit Store Affiliate Program

May 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment

The MTA is recruiting websites for their new (?) affiliate marketing system.
If you are a webmaster, they would looooove to pay you 5% for all the sales traffic you send to transitmuseumstore.com. That’s right, cash money for selling transit schwag.
