Optimising and performing SEO from Cornwall

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I just gained my 400th fan on Stumbleupon My growth rate on Stumble has been exponential the last couple of months. I think I had less that 100 fans 3 months ago. I changed the way I use Stumble and people seem to like it.

I don’t even call it a tactic, as the way I am using it is the way I would use it if it gathered no friends. Basically all I do is us it as a bookmarking tool and am very focussed on the topics I cover, which is online marketing.

Other benefits are that it’s a great way for me to inform people what I am into and what kind of material I wish to be associated with.

• I only submit quality stuff
• I don’t submit my own stuff
• I am very generous, I even submit posts from people I don’t like
• I have become very aware of what others submit

I watched all the vids from Webpronews.com covering Search Marketing Expo, New York City and this one was my favourite.

So I didn’t make it to New York for SMX NYC, but I know a few people who did.

Note: I have tried to include everyone, but if you have an SMX report, ping me and I will add you.

I offer a comment system on this blog to allow people to discuss the blog post and if needs be continue the discussion on their own blog, which is what trackback is about.

I don’t have a comment system for you to advertise your blog and will delete any unknown person dropping a link without a second thought.

People who leave genuine comments are rewarded with a dofollow link. Although I am thinking of getting rid of it as it’s way to risky and when comments are heavy I don’t want to have to keep checking if that link is going to a bad neighbourhood.

Comments are about conversation. Most people do not have a problem with this concept. It’s not like this is a directory.

It might be useful if I posted a “what’s acceptable” for comments, but I expected it not to get abused too much.

So if your comment does not make it through the gates you know why.

I advise everyone to be careful when letting people comment with dofollow links.
