Friday Night Link-o-rama

Cuz we’re all linked up with no place to go….

Just today I came across Stephan Spencer’s blog for the first time, and the first post I read (his most recent one, too) is a knockout: MySpace marketing tips and success stories. Stephan shares some great, hands-on advice from Pugster.com, a company which has apparently done pretty well on MySpace.

Another great post today came from Rand, who gives away a Long List of Link Searches. May there never be another forum post or mailing list message from someone wondering how and where to go linkhunting.

Here’s some great news: Yahoo! is going to add support for a “No Yahoo Directory” tag, which will let you opt out of having your Yahoo Directory listing used in Yahoo’s SERPs.

Speaking of Yahoo!, you might be interested in their new Yahoo! Search Marketing blog.

And finally, speaking of PPC…, Greg Sterling took a look this week at the Google AdWords “Starter Edition”, which is geared for small businesses who may not be ready for the PPC full meal deal. Good stuff.

Have a great weekend.

Go Seahawks!
