Friday Night Link-o-rama
If you believe … they put a link on the moon.
It might be a case of “preaching to the choir”, but just in case you’re a small biz owner who still needs some convincing, check out Jake Matthews’ article, Why Search Engine Optimization is Crucial for Your Small Business.
I mentioned my surprise last week at some of the link development questions people were asking at SearchFest in Portland, so there’s obviously still plenty of uncertainty about Why Links Matter. No fear, Jenn Laycock has some answers: Why Links Matter, Part 1 and Why Links Matter, Part 2.
Lisa’s gone all techie on us again. This week it’s How to Properly Implement a 301 Redirect. Next thing you know she’ll be smoking cigars and playing poker on Saturday night with the Bruce Clay boys.
I posted earlier this week about Yahoo Answers, and how I’ve been able to use it as a legitimate traffic source for this blog. Loren Baker followed up my post with some additional thoughts on the same subject: Marketing Your Site on Yahoo Answers.
And finally… Chris Garrett shares 10 Reasons Commenting is Good For Bloggers.
That’s all for this week! Enjoy the hoops this weekend….

What, because I’m a girl I’m not supposed to be able to hold on my own on the topic of 301 redirects? Don’t try and put me in a box, Matt.
The BC boys never invite me to their poker games. I think they’re afraid I’ll beat them. 🙂
Hey, you’re the one who talks about never posting things with actual “search value,” not me. So don’t go playing the snarky card on my blog. 🙂
No, no, you weren’t listening (it’s not your fault; you’re a guy). I said I don’t post anything with search value in the Friday Recap. The rest of the blog is practically OVERFLOWING with search goodness. Go re-read your email. 🙂
LOL! “Overflowing with search goodness” — love it. But I can’t check my e-mail. I’m not a saver. They’re gone after a month. Typical guy, eh? 🙂
