great list, with lots to learn from.

thanks

Just found your site by accident doing a search for something completely unrelated! Checked out a few of your articles and you have some good stuff here! Added your RSS feed to my google news reader, looking forward to reading more.

great article, and very true, especially about not taking too many breaks. i find once you get the ball rolling go with it, its a lot harder to restart something after you have stopped.

I agree, Its a tool and how effective that tool will be depends on how well you use it.

the thought of him getting a bj makes me sick!

i have seen these video blogs popping up more and more now, seems like quite a good idea and helps adds some diversity to a site.

This seems to be a growing trend amougst big information sources, take digg for example, they have been known to ban certain news stories reaching the front page. google are also guilty of banning or deleting certain videos. But i think it will backfire on them if they continue to do it, as people will no longer trust them.

I dont think the number of blogs out there make a difference, if you blog has unique and interesting content people will want to visit it. Although because there are so many blogs out there it may take longer now to build up that traffic and for your site to be found. Also for the average computer user most of them dont know what a blog is, my mum doesnt, they just see it as another site on the net. As for making money on a blog, its not something you should rely on as your only source of income, unless you have an extremely popular blog.

I dont think computer aggregation is going to be very successful, for now at least. But technology is advancing so fast, and alogorims become more and more complex, who know? eventually computers may be able to provide that human touch and you wont even know the difference.

how do we delete the wpau-backup folder? i am unable to do so via ftp

i dont think google has anything to fear, they have the benefit of learning from other search engines mistakes and if they can get a good foothold in china nothing will stop them.

thanks for making this, hope it works as well as everyone says!

i thought this was a great article, and i did wonder about the effect of linking out to social bookmarking sites. but does it really matter if you follow comments?

there is a social bookmarking plugin that has the option to use nofollow on the links, and i think it is more descriptive than sociable which i used to use. the plugin is called "bookmark me"

great links, will bookmark this to read throughly later.

i think the fact that daren roose wasnt too impressed with it put some people off, i know i did for me, i think i will wait awhile before / if i try it out

i love digg, even though i have never been dug yet i find it excellet for getting your article listed in serch engines. my articles usually appear in google like 1 min after i dig them!
