Unless you’ve had your eyes shut, you’ve probably noticed some momentum building around Twitter. People who didn’t get it (and I was one of those) are suddenly Twitterholics. They tweet all the time and get the shakes if more than a minute passes without an update. But what’s all the fuss about? Is Twitter just another example of social chatter that is destined to disappear without trace when the buzz is over? No-one really knows the answer to that question, but what I’ve observed is how some of the heavy hitters of the blog world are using it to create even more of a presence online.

Link Building with HELP

This is a link building goldmine that you all should spend at least 30 minutes using because it is an incredibly simple, long term link building site that will help build your pagerank and increase your search engine traffic for very little effort.

Today’s link building tip is a site called Help. The site is much like Yahoo Answers as well as my previously mentioned posts about Unasked and Yedda. The difference is that HELP.com is a lot bigger and has a ton of members that you can build links from. Unlike the other smaller question and answer sites, HELP.com is gigantic and is now owned by CNET. By being owned by a multi-billion dollar company, the first thought that crosses my mind is that there is no webmaster who will manage the sites on a day to day basis, so my links will stay there forever.

PublisherSpot Review

The following is a paid review and is my complete and honest opinion. If you would like your own paid review on my blog please visit the advertise page.

Tyler Cruz is an internet entrepreneur like myself, and the focus of today’s post is a website called PublisherSpot, which is one of Tyler’s flagship startup websites. PublisherSpot is a free online review directory for advertising networks as well as affiliate networks.

Tyler created PublisherSpot because he was a member of numerous webmaster forums over the years and could not find a quality information site that reviewed the advertising networks he would later experiment with. According to Archive.org, PublisherSpot first started sometime around November of 2006.

Vote for me!

Update: Thanks to everyone that voted, although being behind 48 hours stopped me from getting into the final 8, however I was in the 93rd percentile, only a few votes away from ranking. There is always next month. :-)

Although I am 19 days behind submitting one of my biggest startup ideas to IdeaBlob ($10,000 grant for the most popular business startup idea), I figured it was better late than never. I am going to need a lot of votes in a very little amount of time if I want to get into the $10,000 finalist round like I did last Thanksgiving with my rssHugger idea.

AmericanTowns – Free Website Marketing

The Link Building Cookbook was made to be the internet’s most popular free link building strategy guide, and I would say it has achieved that status long ago.

In doing so, I am proud to announce the first user-submitted link building tip from a reader of mine named Ben, who owns and operates a site called EveryCall.us.

The site Ben offered me to share with you is called AmericanTowns.com. Rather than explaining it myself, I will partially quote Ben’s email (with a few minor spelling edits to the quote).

SEO Milestone – Sitelinks!

Aside from hitting the 6 month blogging mark, Google has finally given my blog sitelinks for my blog’s name: Mixed Market Arts.

While this may seem like a lame reason to post because there is nothing special about ranking for your website’s name, but it is a little more than that. Sitelinks are an automated feature of Google’s algorithm that gives a website an authority status for a specified keyword. This means that unless I do something extremely stupid, there is no reason I should ever stop ranking for that name. This also means that Google is now giving my domain, with my newly acquired pagerank 5, a good amount of trust in the eyes of the search engine, which should be later reflected across every page of the site. In simple terms, sitelinks are basically Google reminding you that you are slowly but surely growing into a ranking powerhouse, and that there is no denying that you are the only one who should rank for that term.
