Drummin’ Up Some Link Love #30

This marks a round-number milestone for my Drummin’ Up Some Link Love series: 30! I’ve found some particularly interesting posts this week that I think you’ll enjoy.

But first I want to give a “thank you” to Mike of ThingsByMike for making me a Blogging Mentor x 2. It’s nice to know I’m making a positive impact.

My Secret to dealing with large amounts of Important E-mail

The other night I was talking with some colleagues and they were complaining about having to deal with so much e-mail every day. I naively asked them how much e-mail they get in a day. I was surprised when the answers ranged for 10 to 50. I sometime wish I only got 50 relevant important e-mails a day.

Domain name search – How to find an available domain for your next website

I have had many emails from frustrated readers asking for ways to find available domain names for their new websites. They don’t have the time to look for or wait for domains to expire. They also don’t have the startup cash to fork out for a pricey domain. They just want a cool, fresh, new domain name to get their website going.

Playing with the mind’s perception

An optical illusion is always characterized by visually perceived images that, at least in common sense terms, are deceptive or misleading. Therefore, the information gathered by the eye is processed by the brain to give, on the face of it, a percept that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source.

Mime is not a Crime

Mr. RollerBlog suggested that I do a blog post on mimes today. He has a weird fascination with mimes. This may have something to do with the fact that his co-worker (hereafter known as “Mr. Mime”) was actually a mime back in the day. Or maybe Mr. RollerBlog is simply a closeted mime. Which, you know, is fine with me. Go for it honey – reach for the sky!

How To Take Niche Blogs To A New Level

I believe that there is a plateau. I believe that there is a barrier with how much a blog of my style can make. With my style of niche blogs I need traffic. The more traffic I get, the more money I make. Traditionally, the whole reason for formatting my niche blogs the way I did was to combat the issue of not having traffic. And guess what, this works! and works well. But, I am not going to get rich from this. Each of my niche blogs (minus a few popular ones) get around 100 visits per day and also make a few bucks per day.
