The Rush To BlogRush

I posted about BlogRush over the weekend and wanted to share an update. I actually removed the widget from this blog earlier today for two reasons: 1) it was causing pages to load slowly and 2) the links contained in the widget are largely beyond my control. Both of these reasons are founded […]

Last Post for the Blogathon

I’ll continue to promote Dr. Mani’s good works, but this is the last ‘official’ post for my part of the blogathon.
It’s been a great experience and I hope it helped a little bit toward Dr. Mani’s goal of raising $50, 000 for the kids.
Here’s what I learned from this experience:
* When you are united around […]

From the Daily Marketing Ace  ezine:
September 6th, 2007
RSS is a powerful technology that can help you build traffic and deepen your relationship with your prospects, but few Internet marketers understand it. If you are not using RSS in your marketing arsenal, the best place to start is by becoming a consumer. Set up an […]

Why Daily Marketing Ace Tips are Different

This blog is only a part of how you can benefit from Daily Marketing Ace.  The ‘core’ of this project is the daily tips that we publish via email.  What’s so different about that?  Well, the tips are packed very tightly.  They are limited to a maximum of 400 characters, that’s about 4 short lines […]

Send Blog Posts to Twitter Automatically

A few days ago, I started using Twitterfeed to automatically post new Daily Marketing Ace blog posts to my Twitter timeline. It’s a great tool. Anything that allows me to ’set and forget’ is a big plus in my mind.
To use Twitterfeed all you need to do it open an account and set up your […]

How to Use Trackback in Blog Conversations

Trackback is one of those things that is hard to get your brain around. But it’s really not that complicated.
By using trackack, you can comment on another blogger’s blog by posting to your own blog. After you post, your blog tool will ‘ping’ the other blog to let it know that someone has continued the […]

Give some Comment Love to Other Bloggers in Your Niche

One thing that bloggers love is to have lots of comments on their posts. Or viewed from the flip side, one thing we hate is to post something and then have zero responses.
If you want to build readership for your own blog, start by helping other bloggers get what they want. Visit their site and […]

Increase Your Blog's Effectiveness: Enable Comments

I’m surprised at how many participants in the Heart Kids Blogathon either have comments disabled or require registration before allowing people to post comments.  This is crazy!  One of the core defining features of a blog is comments. It allows people to interact with you and helps you build a dynamic community.
Blogs are way more […]

Twitter: The Bare Essentials

Twitter is a great tool for keeping your finger on the pulse of the activities of your friends and colleagues.  It’s a very simple web application that asks one question: “what are you doing?.”  You can create a Twitter account and let people follow your public timeline and you can follow other people’s timelines.  I […]

Traffic Exchange 2.0 Style

I just got an email from Armin Morrin about a cool new blog widget that brings the traffic exchange concept to blogging.   It’s a new tool from John Reese called BlogRush and it took me all of 30 seconds to install it into a WP widget on this blog.
How does it work?
Simple. You just sign […]
