Best Marketing Blog: We Made the List!

Okay, so it's not a Fast Company or a Fortune list, but we snagged a top position in Yaro Starek's Best Biz Blogs list! Read all about it on his Entrepreneur's Journey blog.

And somehow, being recognized by one's peers carries a lot of weight for us. After all, Yaro is an entrepreneur and he knows this biz well. And what he says about sharing "link love" is one of the main strengths of blogging.

His readers will check us out, our readers will go over to his blog, check him out, and the audience of readers grows bigger and better. For professionals with a blog, it will never be about huge numbers of hits and page views. It's all about targeted, selected readers with similar interests, looking for similar knowledge and expertise.

And you have to actively do things to drive that traffic. Yaro provides a perfect example of traffic boosting tips and techniques. When is the last time you "shared some link love?" Hit the comment link below and tell us.

It's about being an active, vibrant part of the "long tail," where professionals go online to find solutions to challenges, to learn about how to market online, and to avoid mistakes. We learn, we share, we blog, you read. You learn, you share, you blog.

We share the list with our colleague Suzanne Falter-Barns, with her newly renamed Get Known Now blog. We are sharing the podium with Suzanne at the PMAU event in Washington DC this week. We are presenting about Automatic Marketing for your Book. Of course, we will emphasize using a blog for your book, and probably mention our Blog to Book Project.
