Caroline’s Favourite Links #11

February 23, 2008 Posted under: Miscellaneous by Caroline Middlebrook

I’ve had a funny week - at first I thought I was going to have virtually the whole week to work solidly but it didn’t pan out that way and didn’t get much done at all so I’ve fallen a little behind with my blog reading again but I’ve found a new cool links for you today:

The Bloggers Guide to SEO - Once you’ve download and read Josh Spaulding’s excellent free ebook on SEO, check out this guide by Aaron Wall (the king of SEO) which is a cut down version of his ebook directed purely at bloggers.

Keyword Research for Bloggers - A cool 5 part guide to keyword research for bloggers by Brian Clark of Copyblogger.

If Long Sales Pages Work, Why Do You Hate Them So Much? - Ahhh long, form sales letters - oh how I love to bash them! Yaro Starak is somebody who I admire within the IM world but he does like to use these long sales letters and explains why in this post.

The StumbleUpon Graveyard - an interesting and technical post from Tim Nash of the Venture Skills blog that explains some little quirks within the StumbleUpon system that can cause a page not to be registered properly and thus not generate traffic. Make sure you don’t make the mistakes explained in here.

Email Marketing: Don’t Spam, Know Your Audience - As I prepare to start developing a Newsletter for this blog, I find myself reading more about email marketing to make sure I get it right and don’t end up hating myself. Some good advice here from one of my readers, Ian Denny.

How to Really Make Money with Domain Names - I found two good posts in my comments this week. This one comes from Shane from AskShane.org. I’ve never had much success making money with domain names (something I dabbed with a few years back) and in this post Shane explains the proper way to do it.

5 Ways to Make Your Blog Posts Scream for Attention - Nice headline huh? A nice in-depth post that does what it says on the tin as we say in the UK. This post comes from Lin from Tell It Like It Is.

Hi Caroline,

Since I started reading your blog you provided me with very relevant content, which is not surprising since we share a goal , and with very relevant links to resources that I doubt I would’ve found alone.

Thank you.

Cheers,
Alex.

Thanks for the link to Josh’s book, it looks great. I’ve just done the first read throug, practical and straightforward, exactly what I like.

I won’t link to it on my site because I don’t blog about blogging.

Don’t spend my 20 cents all at once.

Hi Caroline - These were great posts. Yaro is correct when he says long copy works - but it doesn’t work for everything. It’s used a lot on the Internet for money making products. But, the annoying thing is, it’s usually written by a professional copywriter and the actually product is often rubbish in comparison.

I also like Ian’s email series a lot. But, we struggle to remember to collect email addresses from customers offline. Maybe this is because I’m not left handed.
