Today? Three Technorati Traffic Twist Tips
This is taken from a list of 21 that I’m creating a free ebook about, based on a video that is going with the upcoming update to my Blog Traffic and Optimization Guide that is becomeing a brand new multimedia product in a few short weeks.
I’ll give you three to give you an idea of why I call them Traffic Twist Tips….

First, he gets One Million Cool Points from me for doing a search on “The Message” by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Half of them were for knowing who they were. Rock on Jim….
But I didn’t even discover that gem until half way into this ISEDB article, “Video Raised the Internet Bar“, which is also thus far the cleverest play on the song title “Video Killed the Radio Star” as it relates to the web. Getting back to the article - it’s about an accidental stumble Jim and some golf buddies made into Google video to find video content that had good enough sound quality to fill a Led Zeppelin craving (I know. But I’d already awarded ALL the points).

Sez LibraryJournal.com:
Bookmark | Save | Share | EmailGoogle Book Search has just unveiled two innovations: one provides links to Worldcat.org and international library catalogs, while the other allows users to download out-of-copyright books. So far reviews from librarians have been mixed. Downloadable access seems to be hit or miss, with no real pattern for finding which books are available.
Mmmm Google News Archive Search
This is just delicious. From the Google News site, you can now scour old archives of various newspapers, as of yesterday.

Oh Google Baby, Can I Click You There?
The answer my beloved Google gives is YES. I didn’t realize you were allowed to click on your own Related Links from Google OR that you could alternate them with paid content. And it seems that related links box is getting more interesting too - here’s what it said on the official Adsense Blog:
Bookmark | Save | Share | EmailLet me give you what the MBAs call the 8-second elevator pitch (our buildings are not very tall around here) on Google Related Links. The idea is you surf over to http://www.google.com/relatedlinks/ and start creating a Google Related Links unit for your site…
Google News: AdWords Now Mobile too.
It’s confirmed. As of yeseterday, Google Mobile Ads have ben expanded into the UK, Germany and the US.
Bookmark | Save | Share | Email“We are currently conducting a pilot to test mobile ads in the US, UK and Germany,” said a Google spokesperson. “This is similar to the pilot test we conducted in Japan late last year, and it is open to all advertisers in the US, UK and Germany. We will continue to evaluate the mobile ads pilot and will refine the product based on feedback from our advertisers and users.”
Wanna Giggle?
Fair warning - this is not a Google post.
The cat from SwollenPickles.com just commented on an older post, so I had to go look at his site. (Yet another reason to make nice comments on blogger’s sites - they read em!) And gracious if this isn’t the funniest cartoon I’ve seen in a while…… More fair warning… If you’re sensitive or easily offended, you either won’t get it, or will be really mad that you do….
Bad Tinu! I know. But I love to laugh, don’t you?

To see what we’re about to talk about, open this search for FDIC or Promotion World in a new window.
See them sexy links just under the listing, taking up all that premium real estate? Google calls them Site Links, and yesterday explained where the heck the get them from, and why our sites may not get to play,….

Since I’m sitting here putting together material for the Traffic Reality Month O Google, I thought I’d do a few posts without the multimedia fixins for all my loyal free traffic tippers.
Oh no…

Is thank you. I’ve been going through some issues lately, the details of which I won’t bore you with.
Sometimes this business can be really hard and kind of lonely. If not for your business associates and friends sometimes, it feels like you’ll go nuts dealing with the special issues an internet business with a moderate level of visibility will bring. In rough times, there isn’t the same kind of support network there is when you work in an office, or run a family business. In some cases, there’s no such thing as a personal or sick day, let alone a brief sabbatical, if you want to keep your business afloat.
Bookmark | Save | Share | EmailTwo Google Blogs You Might Have Missed
I know you can totally function without my Google news. But while I was being nosy and trying to make sure I was subscribed to all the Google Blogs, i noticed something that you might not have caught.
This summer, Google has been “Doing It To The Most” this summer, as a friend of mine keeps insisting on saying, despite my on-going ribbing. If you took the summer light or completely off, you may have missed the Google Webmaster Central blog - latest post, “How search results may differ based on accented characters and interface languages“.

Yesterday was blog day, when you’re supposed to list some of your favorite blogs. I’m going to try to do blogs that aren’t on my link list or in my side bar only, for blogs that I don’t write for or partner wi.
I hope you’re ready….
