Favorite Links – June 27, 2007
|
A few of my favorite links from the past week or so:
- John Chow is asking for FaceBook friends. Feel free to add me as a friend on FaceBook too. If you do please introduce yourself so we really can be friends.
- Brian Clark shares his advice on launching a blog. Brian always has such great content, and this post is no exception. Coppyblogger is one of my favorite blogs. Keep up the great work Brian.
- Neil Patel announced that Crazy Egg has launched a very cool new feature called confetti. This feature allows webmasters to see where users clicked. The cool thing about confetti is that you can sort your users interactions based on several factors such as referrers, search terms, operating systems, browsers, time before click, and window size. You can also compare two or more elements against each other.
- Brian Gilley reviews the top blog review sites. A few sites I am aware of that were not on the list are Linkworth, Loudlaunch, and Creamaid.
- Rae Hoffman tells us how to survive the affiliate evolution. A lot of what she suggests is very similar to what Yaro Starak writes about in his Blog Profits Blueprint.
- Lee Oden shares the results of his Best Keyword Research Tool Poll. My personal favorites on the list are Keyword Discovery, the Google Keyword Tool, NicheBOT, and SEO Digger(which I just discovered due to this poll).
- Andy Beard explains how to avoid being banned on Technorati.
- Graywolf is offering to answer questions on the condition that you pose the question in a blog post. I have posed my own question for Graywolf here.
- Aaron Wall announced he is closing Threadwatch, claims an RSS subscriber is worth 1,000 links, offers advice on tracking the growth of competing sites and outlines the evolution of a profitable site. Wow, it seems Aaron has been posting some great content to have gotten that many links from me in one post.
- Seth Godin tells us how to make a million dollars. Sell expensive stuff to a few rather than trying to sell cheap stuff to the masses. It is easier to focus on a small group rather trying to market to thousands because a small group likely talks to itself and can easily spread the word about your business, and by charging more per sale you can afford to modify your offer sooner to be more effective.
- Avinash Kaushik explains why bounce rate could be the sexiest web metric ever. I’ll definitely be looking at my bounce rates a lot more closely from now on.
Chris, great set of links. Thanks for posting them.
