GalleyCat

"[GalleyCat doesn’t] run with items to be cute and/or funny. They make calls and investigate before posting… That’s the kind of work that makes me trust the site, and believe what I read. There aren’t many sites on the net like that…That’s the reason GC is #1 on my bookmark list."

Morning Media Newsfeed

"I want to let you know how pleased I am with the advertising results achieved from my text ad on Mediabistro's Daily News Feed. There was a dramatic increase in my site traffic, an increase in membership levels, and even an interview with an editor who saw my ad in the News Feed! As you know, as an online-advertising newbie with a limited budget, I was pretty skeptical, but your advice was dead-on and the results have been great. I'm sure I'll be a regular advertiser with Mediabistro."
