Thanks for the link love kristine, i like how you link the best of stumbleupon. I am a big social media buff so i will check all the posts related to that in this list
.-= gautam hans´s last blog ..Twitter Etiquette | Do you have any? =-.
Nice list of interesting articles. I did visit the 20 Hardcore SEO Tips and I hope that article was a joke, it not, I would not recommend those tips to my enemies. I did find it humorous.
.-= Frank J´s last blog ..Beware of this Adware from TrueAds =-.
I just read “Another 20 Hard Core SEO Tips” and the original version of that list, and I have a million questions (i.e. “what’s a scraper blog?”). I’m curious which of those exercises you’ve put yourself through and what you’ve learned: it did seem like a joke, but I can see how someone who can promote well would probably try stunts like that to get better.
I can definitely relate to his comment that without browser bookmarks – only using web search – the Internet would almost become useless for me. Any content that I’ve found that’s serious business has come via word of mouth (i.e. stumbleupon friends) or my own knowledge outside of the web.
Also – that Tom on Facebook thing was pretty funny.
.-= ashok´s last blog ..Emily Dickinson, “Expectation – is Contentment” (807) =-.
