Drummin’ Up Some Link Love #7

by Mark Sierra on May 25, 2007

Drum Corps WinnersLooks like I’m long overdue with announcing my latest drummers. So I’m doubling up this week. I’ve also created a page that houses all the inductees to my Drum Corps for your browsing pleasure.

People have asked me how they can become a member. Basically, it comes down to if I find your blog to be informative, thoughtful, entertaining, or a combination of all three. So as I browse I make note of places that fit this checklist and later choose the next batch.

Brown Thoughts

He made my debut list of drummers at the beginning of April, but since he generously donated his $25 Google AdWords coupon to my contest, I had to give him a shout-out again. :)

Confessions of a Freeware Junkie

Gotta love the free stuff you find on the Web, but only if it’s meant to be fun, educational, and useful. You can find that on Rob’s blog.

Julie Anne Bonner

Well written and in-depth articles about blogging and making money online. Her blog has recently undergone a new design, so there’s nothing stale about her place.

Virtual Marketing Blog

A blog about blogging, marketing, and link building. It has also done an outstanding job in its rankings. I make a point to read this one as often as I can, and you should, too.

I Thought, Therefore I Blog

BetShopBoy provides his own special blend of blogging tips and newsworthy finds.

The Kat House

Her blogroll is as long as some of my posts! She’s definitely my competition when it comes to finding things on the Web to write about or just provide for passersby.

Blogging Tips

You’re sure to find great tips on home makeovers and gardening — duh! With a name like Blogging Tips? How could it be anything other than insightful commentary on ways to make your blog stand out and, if you’re so inclined, to make money on it. Check this guy out. You’ll be glad you did.

When Least Expected

Quite a variety of things going on over here. Categories include: Christianity, inspiration. health, leadership, teaching…whew, you get the point. This blog was awarded earlier this month for the Thinking Blogger Award, so that tell you a little something about this being a worth place to visit.

Polliwog’s Pond

Another anything-goes-type of blog (and I mean that in a positive way), Polli’s “pond” has things about travel, personal activities, blogging and more.

Cookie-Crazy

Seriously, do I need to say more?

That’s it for this week!

Great list, Mark. You’ve got a couple of my favorites in there with Polli and Tish (who is NOT huge btw) :)

Mark May 25, 2007 at 11:42 pm

@Tish: You’re most welcome! :)

@Mike: yes, I’ve written that down next to my computer: “Tish is not huge, Tish is not huge.” :lol:

Thanks for the mention and the nice comments! You just made my day. :grin:

Hi Julie, you’re welcome! Let’s keep in touch. :)

Tish (14 comments.) May 26, 2007 at 4:46 pm

*LOL*

So glad you guys realize that I am not huge. ;)

Polliwog (5 comments.) May 26, 2007 at 9:56 pm

Wow! You made my day with this shoutout. Thank you soooo much. My blog is only a couple months old so I realize there isn’t a lot there yet but I appreciate the feedback on what I am doing.

You rock!

I’m a big fan of Polliwog’s Pond. Great blogger. Great choice. :)

Mark May 26, 2007 at 10:12 pm

Hi Polliwog, you’re very welcome and thank you!. Two things that I like about my Drum Corps is that it introduces people to new places and gives me a chance to meet new people. A win-win. :smile:

Hey thanks for the link! Just wanted to clarify, my name is actually ‘Rob’ (not ‘Matt’ like you have listed for me) ;)

No offense taken, just wanted to clarify!

Best,
Rob

Mark May 29, 2007 at 7:20 pm

Oh! Sorry, about that Rob! I’ll make the change shortly. Thanks for dropping me a line. Let’s stay in touch.

Rob Dunn (9 comments.) May 30, 2007 at 7:29 am

No problem Mark! Thanks for the link (you can call me anything, except “late for dinner” as they say)… ;)

Love the blog – I’m adding you to my blogroll!

Mark May 30, 2007 at 10:56 pm

Thanks for the add, Rob. Hey, if it’s not too much trouble, would you mind updating my anchor text to read “MeAndMyDrum”? Just trying to keep with the branding. ;)
