Weekly Roundup: Week Ending July 13, 2007

by Sheryl Sisk

I’ve always loved Friday the 13th - it’s usually a pretty darned lucky day for me. What does that say about me, I wonder? … Hm. Best not to answer that. How about some lucky link love instead? On with the roundup!

About Web Logs: Deb’s got the skinny on Performancing’s new Legal Issues forum … Better Blogging With Michael Martine: Runs down 13 SEO optimizing Firefox extensions you must run down yourself … Bag and Baggage: Heard about Avvo yet? A lawyer rating service that’s raised a lot of questions about its reliability, earned a class action lawsuit within a week, and been widely heralded as a much needed consumer website - this is a company that knows how to work the web, at least! … The Blog Herald: I always have a hard time picking one article from TBH to plug in these roundups - they usually have a good baker’s dozen at least - but one it is, and this week, it’s “3 Reasons Why Blogging *is* Open Source Marketing” … Blog-Op: That Chris Lodge - even on vacation, he’s got you covered! What a guy … Blogger & Podcaster: Why social networks aren’t about to take over email’s primacy …  Blogging For Dollars: Angela tells you how to wrie a blog proposal - interesting proactive idea to get a blogging job … Chris Garrett on New Media: It’s Friday the 13th - are you scaring your readers away? … Copyblogger: Why be a good blogger when you can become a heroic one? … DoshDosh: “19 Ways to Get More Traffic To Your Site Using Google Images”… Freelance Switch: If you’re a freelance blogger/writer, FS wants you to take the 2007 Freelancer Survey …Google Blogoscoped: Web 2.0? That’s so five minutes ago …   I’d Rather Be Writing: Tom talks about “The Paradox of White Space” … Instigator Blog: The skinny on a possible contender to the Akismet throne - Defensio, for WordPress … Lifehacker: Mac bloggers, take note - try a download roundup from Lifehacker to make your computing life even easier (personally, I’m dying to try Camouflage - my iMac desktop is seriously messed up)  …  Liz Strauss at Successful Blog: Liz has an interesting announcement - a two-way conversation between blogs, on an ongoing basis - looking forward to seeing how this works out … Lorelle on WordPress: Lorelle has some good comments on content theft … Performancing: “Why Live Blog Stats matter” - with a solution recommendation from Ryan Caldwell …Performancing, part 2: How about an “ultimate AdSense beginner guide”? … Practical Blogging: Robyn has some tips on pricing advertising on your blog - good timing, Robyn, thanks … Problogger: Darren has a series called “What we wish we knew” - this one’s about finding readers … Quick Online Tips: “Buying quality blog comments”? In bulk? OxyMORON (the idiots who came up with this spamfest, not QOT, of course)… Search Engine Roundtable: Gives the lowdown on a Google AdWords Editor Team teleconference - some good tips in there!

That’s it for this week. Sorry I was late getting this up. There was a thing with the ladder, and a black cat, and a mirror … aw, never mind.
