Lunarpages Coupon Blog: it’s what it says it is
The following is a sponsored review of Lunarpages Coupons, a blog that maintains a list of actively available coupons for Lunarpages hosting.
Upon visiting the site, the first thing that I noticed is that it very clearly and obviously displays the coupon codes for Lunarpages, as the site’s name would have you believe. The codes are updated monthly, and there have been recent updates. Clearly, this is not a scam in the sense that someone is actually trying to run ad revenue through a spammy blog with the enticement of ‘coupon codes.’ Furthermore, it’s clearly run by a real person, not some content aggregator. For these reasons, the site and it’s aim of listing out money-saving coupons for web hosting is an admirable goal.
However, seeing as the site has put out a campaign to build public awareness of its existence, one would hope for an additional amount of content on the site besides just the codes. After all, as far as I can tell, without being to critical, the only relevant content on the entire site is basically three lines:
“28offplus2″ – $28 Off Plus 2 Free Months
“Save35″ – $35 Off
“Save50OnDed″ – $50 Off on dedicated servers
Now, that’s not to take away from the fact that updating the site regularly means that it is not only a one-time blog post about a deal that may expire the next day, or twenty minutes later. It takes a certain degree of dedication and consistency to do so. But the other thing that preplexes me is this: if I want a coupon code, a simple Google search for that company plus the term ‘promo code’ or ‘coupon code’ usually yields the results I need. In fact, since Google allows sorting by date, you can narrow your results to find the latest posts about coupons anyway. So, in the final analysis, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a Lunarpages Coupon blog, but it may not actually provide a significant service that would make it a good bookmark for repeat use.

Online coupons (Jul 23, 2008)
There are a ton of web pages that show coupon codes for web hosting and what not. However if you want to have money on your next trip to the grocery store or home depot or whatever, I highly recommend you check out this site: http://www.coupon.nu (I hope I typed that correctly).
I use it every now and then, and I’ve gotten some pretty good coupons. Just thought I’d share it with you and your readers.
