If you keep a WordPress blog, this is an especially easy task, as Wordpress generates an RSS feed for you.
Here is the plan - it’s incredibly easy and incredibly effective. Submit your RSS feed to RSS directories. You get backlinks from the directories themselves and even more when people plug your feeds into their sites and publish your content.
You can submit them by hand or use software like RSSFeedSubmit.

Lately, I’ve been really into having my own software coded for me. In some instances, it’s actually even cheaper than buying a commercial version - and you get it made exactly to your specs!
Go on RentACoder.com and look around - they have a ratings system for coders, you get to talk extensively with coders who are bidding on your project before you choose a bid - and, best of all, there’s no obligation when you post a project. If you decide to have it done by someone else or even just drop it altogether - no harm, no foul.
Don’t take as long as I did to realize the value of custom software.

This from the YouTube blog today:
Whether a YouTube video has 10 views or 10,000,000, people always want to know the same thing: who’s watching this? Where do viewers come from? How did they find my video?
Finally, we have some answers. Today we’re releasing YouTube Insight, a free tool that enables anyone with a YouTube account to view detailed statistics about the videos that they upload to the site. For example, uploaders can see how often their videos are viewed in different geographic regions, as well as how popular they are relative to all videos in that market over a given period of time. You can also delve deeper into the lifecycle of your videos, like how long it takes for a video to become popular, and what happens to video views as popularity peaks.
How does this help you? Well, using these metrics, you can increase your videos’ view counts and improve your popularity on the site. For instance, you might learn that your videos are most popular on Wednesdays, that you have a huge following in Spain, or that new videos that play off previous content become more popular more quickly. With this information, you can concentrate on creating compelling new content that appeals to your target audiences, and post these videos on days you know these viewers are on the site. (Maybe even post your next video in Spanish?) And for those of you who are also partners, the more popular a video is, the more advertising revenue it can generate.
We’ll be making new features and additional information available fairly quickly — like a specific breakdown of how viewers discovered the video — so keep an eye out as we roll out new features. As for now, you can find currently available metrics by clicking under the “About this Video” button under “My account > Videos, Favorites, Playlists > Manage my Videos.”
This can be nothing but great news for marketers!

As long as it doesn’t affect my ebay plugins, I’m cool.
Although I’m SUPER not eager to go and try to replace all of my manually-placed links. :/
Overall, though? I think it will be better. Crossing my fingers that they pay twice a month…and maybe even via paypal!

It’s a huge blow for Ask.com’s public image - their advertisers want their money back.
True, the alleged fraud took place over two years ago. And, true, the plaintiffs are not alleging that Ask ENGAGED in fraud…just that they didn’t take adequate measures to prevent it. Still, for a company which has never gained the foothold that YPN or (OF COURSE!) Adsense has in the PPC world, it’s not a great day for public relations.
