Blog of the Day :: Marshallk
Wednesday, March 8th, 2006
I don’t think that’s the official name, but I also didn’t want to give it away. So why should you obey my commands, actually Leave My Site and go visit his?
Because I said so.
Okay, I knew that wouldn’t work. First of all, his blog is gorgeous. An example of working Both form and function. Marshall left me a comment yesterday, and I clicked through to his site out of curiousity like I always do. (Reason #238 why you should comment – I am so nosy that I can’t resist visiting every non-spam-commenter’s site).
I went to his site and found tons of useful posts – not just useful but friendly, open and … there’s just something about the way he writes, where he somehow makes you feel really comfortable and laid back. Recent post include one on tagging, another on Feedburner that will help a lot if you’re confused about the initial sign up, as well as a short and sweet intro to blogs.
If you’re at all intersted in web tools, or want to learn more about Web 2.0, do yourself a favor and mosey on over to Marshall Kirkpatrick’s blog. Quite a treat
Blog Traffic :: Getting More Blog Traffic From Other Sites
Monday, November 21st, 2005
It comes as a surprise to many, but there are many sites out there that are willing to send traffic your way, and you don’t have to trick them or threaten them with the stink eye to get their help.
We’re not talking about search engines and specialized directories yet – we’ll soon come back to that.
First, let’s talk about what I call blog helper sites, for easy reference.
There are all kinds of resources out there for bloggers, you just have to know where to look, and figure out what works.
I tend to shy away from regular blog link exchanges, because despite all the free information, I’m running a commercial site. If you’re running one as well, you may find that regular blog exchanges don’t necessarily work to bring you buying traffic any better than link exchanges bring traffic to your site.
Free Traffic Tip Extra: Interesting Blog
Tuesday, September 14th, 2004
I just found out that I’m being reccomended from a blog I have been sporadically frequenting. The blog has been alive several months longer than mine. In it, Olga shares marketing ideas - her honest opinion on things she has read and some new ideas she came up with when reading them. You can also start from the top of her site about starting a successful online business.
Thanks for the link back Olga!

Oh yes, it’s the day you’ve all been waiting for – Google Tuesdays. In full effect. 
First up, for all you Gmail fans, my Slashdot headlines informed me of a new blog that uses Gmail to make entries. Haven’t seen it in action yet. You can read about it at Slashdot or on the Gallina site.
More in a few.

Free Traffic Tip: More News
Saturday, August 14th, 2004
Pretty much everyone and their great grandmother is blogging, though I’m pretty sure that few people blog well. I’m still in the process of redesigning my blog, and deciding if adding advertising banners is worth the trade-off in the feel of this space. So far, I’m leaning towards a “no” – but that doens’t take into account how much I’d stand to lose, versus the gain of the current layout.
That’s for another day though.
Another bit of news I’ve discovered at InternetNews.com ponders whether the blog revolution – re-energized by the marketing potential of blog feeds – is an effective enough tool to eliminate corporate marketing departments. Definitely a chin-stroker….
