Who Said That? Friday, June 15th 2007
If you are new to Create Business Growth, this is how we close out our week. With our “Who Said That?,” we give some link love to other blogs and regular websites that we feel you may find interesting. We do continue our “Daily Quote” on Saturday and Sunday.
Andy Beard wrote about “WordPress SEO – Siloing vs Massive Ball Linking With Tags” and notes some key factors about SEO that should be helpful to anyone in the beginning stages of Search Engine Optimization: Many people wonder if there are certain things that carry more weight in Search Engine Optimization and if there are certain things that you should not do in SEO. Andy covers a few of these plus much more in this long, yet very informative, post.
J. David Macor wrote about “Getting Your Readers to Stick.” He has a nice list of 7 things to do to help your readers stick. By the way, THANK YOU READERS! Without readers, our blog, like any blog, would not be worth having.
Since I’m a member of Fast Pitch Networking, I like to feature a couple of blogs every Friday from Fast Pitch. If you are not a member of Fast Pitch Networking, I highly recommend that you take this tour and consider at least creating a FREE profile. However, I think the paid ones are well worth the money. The two blogs that I have chosen this week are listed below…
“Jazz Up Your Blog or Website with Video Broadcasting Online: Some Cool Webcam Tools” by Josh Dorkin at TimeforBlogging.com. The post covers some cool webcam tools including Live Web Broadcasting and Scheduled/On-Demand Broadcasting Tools.
Speaking of tools, we have been using GoToMeeting for months now. It’s fantastic for doing Web Based Training whether one-on-one which we do mostly or doing some larger scale Webinars like our upcoming “Webinar Wednesday” that you’ll hear more about soon. Anyway, you may want to check this out and see if it will work in your business. It has been fantastic for ours:
Michael Stankard, at Getfoundnow.com, has a nice post “Website Analytics: Hits – Page Views – Unique Visits Explained.” If you are doing anything online, you need to be evaluating stats. We look at Unique Visits often. Our blog is really still a baby at about six weeks old as far as us really doing something with it. We are pleased that we are averaging about 300 Unique Visitors a day in the early stages. You can see this in the chart below covering our unique visitors over the last 7 days:
The Digerrati Life has a post from May 31st “Become a Millionaire in 10 Steps Flat” which you may enjoy especially the list within the post… The Millionaire’s 10 Mandates. There are a lot of great tips out of the 10 listed, but # 2 is one that I want to make special note of “Make Some Money by doing something you like to do.” If you are in a job you hate, whether self-employed or working for someone else, you need to re-evaluate why you are still doing it.
I just came across “Retargeting.com.” This link takes you to a cool short flash based commercial. If nothing else, you should enjoy the animation. Don’t forget to have your speakers on and the volume at an acceptable level.
In case you missed the interview with Nate Whitehill, be sure to check out this post on our site.
I want to close the week by highlighting something other than business. Patrick Schaber, aka The Lonely Marketer, posted “My New Definition of Courage.”

David,
I appreciate you picking up that post. I certainly didn’t expect anyone to as most of my readers are the business/marketing audience. It’s good to see the business blog community value life experiences as well!
Thanks,
Pat

Patrick,
It’s sad, but I’m one of the ones that gets caught up in the less important things of life like business than the more important part FAMILY until something changes that.
