This weekend I got off my butt and went down a list of things I wanted to get done. Read more... (654 words, estimated 2:37 mins reading time)

I built a list of blogs using the CommentLuv plugin over at my site Digital Product Review. I am just getting the final tweaks on the theme done and am ready to start getting a little more traffic. I figured this list would bring some. It only has 100 blogs on it now, but I have about 250 more links to go through, so look for updates. A large percentage of these blogs have an Entrecard widget, a second reason to check this list out.

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...

The Ever Project

The Ever Project

Squidoo is branching out to yet another site, ever.com. The concept: build a site like smartest.seo.ever.com. I can already tell that marketers are rushing to fill their dashboard with pages before everyone else gets to them. Me, I have to wait until the weekend. It uses a magic page builder like Squidwho or Squidvids.

You can choose from about 50 superlatives for the first word and add anything you want for the second word in the url. You are then taken to a page where you add reasons why you chose someone or something as the best, worst, funniest, etc. thing ever. Then pagebuilder takes off and builds the page for you. What comes out is a basic Squidoo type page with a newspaper look.
