Four Great Blog Resources

March 26, 2007

Over the last week I came across 4 great blog-related resources that I wanted to share:

  1. 66 Ways To Build Links in 2007 – Brandon Hopkins has a huge list of ways to build links. It’s one of those blog posts you should bookmark and keep re-visiting every so often. Marketing and promoting your blog should be a never ending process, and a good chunk of that work is in link building.
  2. WordPress Plugin Directory – WordPress has finally put together a comprehensive plugin list and organized it neatly and properly. Already I’ve found a few plugins I wasn’t aware of, including some very popular ones that warrant more investigation. This will very quickly become the de facto resource for all WordPress users when looking for plugins.
  3. MultiSubmit – A neat little tool that lets you submit a blog post to multiple social bookmarking type sites all at once. You can pick which ones you want to be setup for, and it’s an incredibly easy process. It doesn’t work for StumbleUpon though, which is too bad because StumbleUpon is a great service. Still, it’s a very fast way to get a blog post put into the most popular social bookmarking sites including digg, reddit, Netscape and del.icio.us.
  4. Blogged Out – Darren Cronian is starting almost from the beginning, introducing people to ways they can promote and improve their blogs. The information to-date is basic, but it’s always smart to start at the basics and learn along with others. Darren’s goal is to run Blogged Out for 3 months, earn $1,900 and donate 40% to charity.

Hope you enjoy these resources!

  • great, if I know what to ask for it would have been the 4 links you've just offered!

    My site's still quite young so help like this is always very greatly received.
  • Ben, thanks for the 4 links. Just checked out 66 ways to build links. It's definitely worth the read. Thanks again.
  • Glad you guys enjoyed these resources. I often forget to share things that I find with people - and try to avoid the "speedlinking" posts cause they don't typically generate a lot of traffic for the recipients (although getting links is ALWAYS nice.)

    Hopefully doing a few, with some description helps.
  • Thanks for passing along the resources. I'm always looking for helpful resources and it's greatly appreciated when you take the time to write up a post on these resources which includes a short little review of each. I've seen too many similar posts of resource links with absolutely nothing other than the list. In those situations it begs the question, "Why post it? Where's the value add?" Obviously, that is not the case here. Thanks for the post.
  • I've got to agree that this post is great! There are definitely a couple new blogs in my RSS reader.

    Take care,
    Andrew
  • I'll check this out when I have more time on my hands.

    Thanks for this, Ben.

  • Good stuff. Always on the lookout for new tricks.
  • Great post - thanks.

    Another good resource similar to MultiSubmit can be found at: http://www.addthis.com

    You can see it in action on my blog - it's the text link at the bottom of each post that reads "Digg/Del.icio.us/Reddit/Etc..."
