We looked at some basics of shameless promotion in the blogsosphere yesterday - including several examples and motives of doing so.
Today, we’ll look instead at shamelessly promoting something closer to our hearts: Our own blogs. In order to do that, I’ve decided to compile a small list of ways you can practice Shameless […]

Being capable of shamelessly promoting something you have an interest in is important. These days, it’s not only the salespeople and CEOs that have to realise this, but also the average blogger - whether to promote an affiliate, increase exposure and thus, traffic to your own blog, or just increase your blog’s page views.

I’m here to point you to an in incredibly intuitive, yet excellent post by Brian Clark on very specific […]

I’ll not waste time and go straight to the point. Performancing Metrics hasn’t performed at the level I’ve expected it to, but it’s perhaps too early to say anything as it is still in public beta after all.
