I have started adding 'digg-it' widgets to all my blog posts on all my blogs and there are several reasons why... Firstly without a doubt, someone will see your post as soon as you digg it (assuming that you might digg some of your own posts to get the ball rolling...). Your post will appear somewhere as the most recently dugg posts and if your title is interesting enough, there is a chance they will visit, if you have done really well, they might digg it too...and so the snowball is rolling.... Secondly, if your visitors are diggers (applies to 'stumblers', 'reddit' etc. also ... Read Full Story

I have talked about commenting and am a big fan of commenting on blogs for many reasons. I still don't do it half as much as I should, in fact I do it considerably less that half as much as I should, but I have realised yet another reason why commenting is so good.

At the moment a glitch has accidentally enabled this feature on some unsuspecting blogs and an explanation has been posted here... Seems like there ... Read Full Story

Paid bloggers must often think: "Why am I writing about this product or service for just a few dollars?" and maybe they think that they have cheapened themselves and their writing skills.
