Max Out Your Friends at Swurl

Published July 2, 2008 | By admin

I sign up for about everything just to see what it’s like, which is why you might see me in a lot of different places. I like playing with concepts and new things. So if you messaged me or friended me and I haven’t done it yet, I will eventually. All of these type email notices get filtered into one email folder called "Friends" and then I go through and reciprocate a few times a week. Read more...

Spread Your Feed

The Power of Feeds

I can’t say that I am an expert on getting subscribers. I only have about 160. But I will cross that bridge when I come to it. But I do know a little about feeds. I know that feeds can be useful to a site if you don’t get one subscriber.

Just looking at this chart on Wired will give you an idea of how far a feed can travel. The more distance you get out of your feeds, the bigger the payoff in traffic and backlinks. A link to your site is one thing. A feed provides a new distinct link to your site each time you post. Multiply this by the amount of sites republishing your feed. Read more...

16 Networks For Free Blog Traffic

Published September 22, 2007 | By admin

I have been collecting these for a while. One site here, another site there. As I click through the items in my feed reader, I not only read the posts, but I look at the site. I look at the ads, the layout, and the content. I also look at what networks the blogger belongs to. At first, I found only MyBlogLog, BlogCatalog, and Bumpzee. But now there are a few more. At least enough to write a post about. The requirements for this list were simple. They had to be more than a bookmarking service. A visitor widget got you in. A related post or blog widget got you in. A way to add your feed to a public profile page got you in. Being an SEO/Marketing friendly community got you in. But the list is raw and still being built.

And they lost my avatar when I merged with my Yahoo account. For a while, I was a gray smiley face. I have have my full name next to my avatar. Other than that, I haven’t noticed anything else.
