    Friday’s Finds — 08/17/2007

    August 17th, 2007 - 9 Comments »

    There were number of interesting stories I read on various blogs this week. Many people were writting about keywords and making money again. I try not to inundate myself with too much SEO/SERP stuff and ad service sites to keep my brain from feeling like it just got pureed in a blender. A couple of posts did hook me.

    • Ms. Danielle introduced her readers to Digital Point’s Search Engine Keyword and Back Link Tracker. What better way to see if your SEO efforts are effective? Visit Danielle and learn how you can track your keywords.
    • In his blog, Behind The Rhetoric, Michael Kwan writes an extensive review of Publisher Spot. The site was created by Tyler Cruz in order to make sense of all of the ad networks popping up. It is sites like these that save my brain from melting away. Read the review, and then check out Publisher Spot.
    • Speaking of being pureed in a blender, I StumbledUpon a site, WillItBlend.com, that features a video of the iPhone and answers the question Will It Blend?. When I said I would pass on the iPhone, I didn’t have this in mind. But I’m glad someone tried it.
    • CASH for COMMENTS is holding a blogging contest to win a 24″ wide screen LCD monitor. That’s one way to get paid. The contest is being sponsored by Elite Baseball Instruction dot Com which gives baseball training videos in hitting, pitching, infield defense, and outfield playing. He is also giving away a Free 4-Hour Workweek Book to enter early and the winner will be updated on the same blog post to drive traffic to their own site. Click here for more details the 24 inch LCD giveaway. If you enter by September 1st, you could win a copy of the 4-Hour Workweek.

    If you have links that you think might be of interest to people, please feel free to email them to me at derrich [at] derrich dot com. I’ll check ‘em out, and consider them for Friday’s Finds. And in case you missed it, I decided to captain a team for the upcoming Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk. Please check out the post and consider giving us your support. Bloggers can benefit with some back links, so everyone wins. Enjoy your weekend.

    Thanks for the link, Derrich.

    The guy that blended the iPhone actually put the pureed mess on eBay last month!

    Derrich,

    Do you know how to get the Google API key? Do I need a Google Webmasters account? I contacted Ms. Danielle, but she said that she’s using a friend’s API key. Thanks!

    Hey Derrich,

    Great link from MS. Danielle. Just what I was looking for and I actually already have a Google API key. I didn’t know anyone used those anymore.

    Thanks again,

    Likewise, the Digital Point’s Search Engine Keyword and Back Link Tracker is a great tool. Thanks for pointing it out!
