Caroline’s Favourite Blogs & Links #9
You know I think I have found the trick to keeping up with the blogosphere - scanning the content! Everybody scans, nobody reads apparently. Though I am somebody that does actually like to read a post but when I tried to read every post on all the blogs I liked I simply couldn’t keep up. So now I scan headlines, pick out posts I like and then scan the content, sad I guess…
A Deeper Look at Garry Conn
A little while ago I presented a strategy for making money with WordPress using niche sites and I introduced Garry Conn who does something similar (he uses niche blogs) and does very well with it.
While I was poking around his site I found myself reading lots of his stuff and there is gold in those archives! Garry is another WordPress fan and points out that it does not suck. Also Garry is another blogger who provides workable, informative posts such as this guide to the robots.txt file which I really need to absorb and apply myself. Finally, Garry invites his readers to ask him a question.
This Week’s Links
20 Ways to Get Constant Post-Level Links - Inbound links are probably the best way to increase search engine rankings so this two-part article from Wayne Liew is good reading. Don’t miss part 2 also.
The Brilliant Way to Find a Niche Market - I’ve been harping on about niche marketing recently so this in-depth post from Carl Ocab made interesting reading for me.
Google Tells Domain Tasters to Eat Cake - I had never even heard of the practice of domain tasting until reading this article from John Chow. It’s good to be informed of the various practices around.
An Article About Long Tail Keywords - An article from Blogpreneur to help you understand the ‘long tail’ of traffic.
And So It Begins… - This is the very first post from Andrew Stone who has just started a new blog about affiliate marketing. I am giving this a bit of a plug as he’s used my ebook to help him get started :-)
Affiliate Links: To Disclose or Not to Disclose - I picked this post out of my comments from the CommentLuv plugin that I mentioned yesterday. It is from Internet Junkie and gives a good account of the debate over whether or not to disclose affiliate links. In case you were wondering my policy is not to disclose them (kinda obvious on a blog about making money!) but not to hide them either.
Exclusive Interview with Caroline Middlebrook - Shameless self promotion. Thanks to Samantha from What Sells Online for taking the time to interview me.

Wow and thank you! When people volunteer and write about me, that is truly all I can say…
Doing what you just did today in this post is the #1 most effective way that helps me grow as a blogger and a teacher. You don’t know how much I appreciate it when people volunteer space on their own personal blogs to spread the word about my own blog. For that, I am very thankful and will continue to work very hard with helping others.
The business of making money online, honestly, is a rough one… who can you trust, who can you depend on for answers and most importantly, who can deliver the goods.
I value each and everyone of my readers and take them in under my arm as if they were my own children. As my RSS subscription numbers increase, so does my personal responsibility that I set out to help others.
You are very open, kind and accepting and I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to write about me.
Best Regards,
Garry Conn
