Another week gone and next week we’re heading into September - ALREADY! I didn’t read the forums or the blogs a whole bunch this week (again), really making an effort to buckle down and make stuff happen. The good news is - it’s working! This month (August) was my biggest month so far. We’ll see what September brings :wink:.

Here are a few things I wanted to note from this past week:

NOTICE! YOU HAVE BEEN SUED

Free Link Popularity Software - Back Link Analyzer

Mr. Ploppy’s Monday Morning Tool List - Volume XXII - Affiliate Marketing Tools

A Guide to Search Engine Filters, Penalties, Bannings, and Reinclusion

*I think I should just download stuntdubl’s entire site and make myself a book

Thinking about Off-Topic Links

Three Dot Day: Random Items
*Make sure to read the toolbar blurb at the bottom of the article

Matt Cutts Says Do Not Buy Links; Kinda

Matt Cutts: Dashes vs. underscores

That’s it - that’s all I got from the blogs last week. The forums - nada.

Have a great weekend. I’m going to just putter around and relax a bit. I do have a hosting move planned for one domain (and then I think I’m done with the moving!).

I’m in pretty good shape for the upcoming season. All summer I’ve been tweaking and tuning my sites and everything is pretty much sparkling and shining just waiting to be attacked by holiday shoppers. For the info sites I have that sit and die and do nothing, I’m trying stuff I normally don’t. Namely banners and small blatant ads. I hate it, don’t have a lot of expectations - but we’ll see. I have one site that I haven’t touched and really should - but it’s a mess and I don’t know where to begin :lol:.

Still a handful of things to tidy up and then I can get back to building new and getting ready for the after-holidays-slowdown :cool:. It’s freakin amazing the amount of work that you can get done when you put your mind to it :lol:.
