Friday Link Express
A big thanks and a slo-mo high-five to Darren at ProBlogger, who kindly added my post 7.5 Reasons I Abandoned You Today to one of his recent 31 Days To Building a Better Blog link lists (check’s in the mail, Darren) and sent lots of nice clicks and visitors my way.
Kevin at Blogging Tips talks about writing for search engines vs. writing for people. I must confess I struggle with this sometimes - some funds come via clicks from people who arrive from search engines. But most of the traffic and comments (and some spin-off writing work) come from fellow bloggers. It’s about balance, I guess, and not looking down.
New blog Nerdy Nomad shares some of her affiliate earning secrets. Very handy and interesting. I need to step away from AdSense and start having relationships with more affiliate sites. Life’s short, right?
Bryan@OneMansGoal shares 10 traits of successful bloggers. I need to work on 1-10. 
Roberta Ferguson has made it into the Top 5K on Technorati. Well done, Roberta! Guess what - I am at 5,003. I just need 1-2 more linkbacks to be in the Top 5K myself. Who will give me a pity link? I will send you an ice cream.

According to technorati, you’re in the top 5k of bloggers, with 4,962.
Think of us languishing in the 12,000’s!
August 25th, 2007 at 12:06 amThink of us who don’t even know what a Technorati ranking is… there’s more to this world of blogging that meets the eye. Me likey.
Oh and thanks for the link!
August 25th, 2007 at 12:58 am5k? I’m stuck at like 28k!
I know I’m rather new and all… but how I long to join the 5k club with my BFF Shona!
I only need like 400 more links… come on people! I’ll buy you TWO icecreams!
August 25th, 2007 at 4:47 amI added your link to all three of my blogs earlier today. Hope that helped a little
I couldn’t come comment til now because they filter your page as “sex” from work….go figure…
August 25th, 2007 at 11:45 amThanks Roberta!
A few people have mentioned the sex filter thing… annoying because it must affect my traffic a bit. I emailed Websense asking about it but they haven’t replied yet
