000How to double your readers by commenting without being a machine

2009-10-07T10:33:00.001-05:00

I Came, I Saw, I Commented: Was It Worth It?
A Guest post by Josh Hanagarne – World’s Strongest Librarian

The Experiment
I spent one week leaving as many comments as possible.
Now, a common question is “how do I find blogs to comment on?” First and foremost: I believe that real peace of mind comes from staying out of conversations you aren’t ready for. Meaning, if your idea of masterful penmanship is doodling with a crayon in your mouth, you might look out of place trying to jump into a conversation with a bunch of bloggers discussing calligraphy.
So where did I find blogs to comment on? Read more

SEO wonders don't use PayPal? (Roll over and read)
Image via nicelettuce.com

Search Engine Optimization is like running a restaurant (website): Visits should rise just by offering good service.But service is more than droping you the menu.

Every time I read a header speaking about succeeding online I get hungry. You can't be a creative or a marketer without living the last trend! But I also get scared about losing my time or my sight. So, I'm gonna give it try to www.seo-partners.com. They have a lot of related content by being starting. May use some images, but don't sell me manuals with yellow, red and larger than life copys. So they scare me less than the most of experts that chase you on Google AdSense.

Decisions are about comfort, seems to me. People gets hungry and just go for an eye catching spot cross the street. So first time(s) they get abused by restaurants with filthy bathrooms and people who hate their jobs. That's why the rest of people eats in referred spots. They also got filthy bathrooms and bitter people, but facades are better and -sometimes- don't charge you turkey and give you chicken.

At the end it's not about food but where do you feel less paranoid.
