Google likes me …
I’ve finally gotten into the good graces of Mr. Google (I’m out of the “sandbox”) … now more than half of my traffic is coming from Google search keywords. Amazing. I love it.

Although I’ve offered to help you set up your own custom domain name for your Blog*Spot hosted blog, I thought I’d post a tutorial for those of you who want to do it yourself. Before I get to the tutorial though, I thought I’d post some pros and cons with hosting at Blogger. Read More→
I’ve noticed there are just a TON of people using Google’s Blogger for their blogs … and I’d just love to see more of those people investing their time and writing and blogging into their own domain name (one they actually own).
So for a limited time (depending on how much interest I get), I’m offering to help you get your own custom domain name for your Blogger-hosted blog (aka Blog*Spot) for $25.
OK, so the title is harsh, I admit …
But within the last week I’ve surfed to two blog sites and seen entire blog posts, which I wrote, simply copied and pasted (both with attribution) onto their blogs.
No names will be mentioned here or links given. (I try to live by the stuff I write about.)
But this here … well, it’s a “teachable moment.”
Here are some links with commentaries of some really good posts about blogging:
Guest blogger Tony Hung has been giving some excellent blogging advice at ProBlogger while Darren’s off. Today’s article on How to Market Your Blog in 2007 is one I printed off, read over lunch and made all kinds of notes and to-do lists for my blogs.
