The Ultimate To-Do List For Bloggers
Wendy Piersall has instigated a great to-do list project for bloggers called The To-Do Wish List Group Research Project.
She has a list of 31 topics - all related to blogging and helping bloggers - and she’s asking people to pick a topic, research it and write about it on their own blogs. Link love all over the place ensues.
The topics don’t cover just the basics of blogging, but go beyond that into areas of discussion and expertise that few people have explored fully. #10 on the list - how to setup a Google Toolbar button - stood out for me because it’s something I had never heard of before. Wendy points to a basic article on how to create a Google Toolbar button. If / when your button is approved by Google it goes into their Gallery and can be found there. People add the button to their toolbar and it’s one more way for them to find interesting content and remember you’re there.
I created my button and you can add it to your Google Toolbar with a simple click.
I’m interested in quite a few of the subjects on the to-do wish list and I look forward to checking out everyone’s contributions. You still have time to participate as well.
Check out The To-Do Wish List Group Research Project - you’re guaranteed to learn something new.
Thanks for spreading the word, buddy!
Hugs!
Thank you very much for the link-back :-)I’m glad you found it useful.
No problem Dennis, although I must say I’m very curious to see what kind of impact the Google Toolbar feature will have for Instigator Blog. I’m not sure how I’ll even track it…
hi
there is this page i found which tracks all the top blogs about personal development in just a single page
http://www.netreputation.co.uk/directory/Personal%20Development
you are on it too
Ben that is what annoys me too. I don’t think Feedburner counts it as a reader, I guess the only way is to monitor what visitors click on our sites.
Dennis - do you know if Google Analytics will pick up on the source being of traffic being the Google Toolbar?
I guess you’re referring to tracking how many clicks the toolbar link gets on your site for knowing / guessing how many people installed it. But that doesn’t tell you if it drives more traffic to your site.
Yes that sounds very plausible. The only thing is…what took look for in Analytics?! I have taken a brief look around, but I can’t find anything obvious.
Wendy has just published the findings of the project, and they look like a fantastic collection of tutorials!
I’ll definitely be visiting it a few times.
Man Google Analytics is advanced
I can’t find anything related to the Google Button there. Did anyone else have more luck?
