Hi Kristi! Thanks for your Fetching Friday Resources sharing again! I love “Is PPC Still Working” article. However, i do not see much comment for that article. Anyway, it is good for us to think back the effectiveness of PPC.

Hey Kristi – I certainly need to go read that post about Facebook Fans! lol I just have not gotten the hang of using it for anything other than bewildering my friends with my status updates. :) So now that my fan page is growing, I’m going to tap into some Facebook resources so that’s going into my bookmarks.

Thanks!

Wow! Thanks for linking to my post on the WordPress, Thesis, GPL thing. I really wanted to help establish that there was so much deeper meaning behind what Matt was doing compared to Chris. While Thesis is an amazing WordPress theme, I wished that Chris could better convey his message for creating the theme, the reasons why he gets out of bed everyday. I truly feel that it’s why we do things and not what we do that is why people become loyal.

Thanks again and you never cease to impress with your killer resourcefulness! Thumbs up every week! :)

Also, I would be absolutely honored, Kristi, if you could take a look at my new posts Blog 202 Bite-Sized Tips To Insanely Increase Your Blog Traffic; who knows, maybe it will make it on your list of Friday Mashups some day. :)
