Here we are again — in the middle of another weekend. As you all know, I am working hard to make internet marking my full-time business so that I can once and for all, quit my day job. Then every day will be weekend! I am on track for that to happen by the end of this year — December 31, 2009. If you have similar goals, let me know about them! Let’s reach these goals together. With that said, let’s get into this week’s wrap-up.
This past week I came across several blog posts about link building. On seomoz.org Rob Ousbey recently wrote a blog post called A Link Building Rule to Cut Out and Keep about how to get a website ranked higher in Google. He speaks of advice that he gives to all who ask. It is simply:
“The most valuable links you can get, are those which your competitors will never be able to have.”
He goes on to explain how to tap into links by discovering what your blog or website has to offer that is unique. By being proactive in this regard, you will find links that others will not even be looking for. You can read more about this interesting prospective by checking out his blog post.
Another great blog, also posted on seomoz.org was by Jennita. The post was called Followed Links From Four Unexpected Sources and it discusses how social networking from sites such as Panoramio and Zillow can provide links to your site.
Finally, I know that motivation is always a big issue with folks in the internet marketing business. I found this blog post that I really enjoyed. It was written by one of my favorite bloggers, Paul Norwine and is called Eliminating Self Doubt and Beating the Bogeyman at His Own Game. Paul talks about three strategies that he uses to keep himself motivated: Focusing on the Present, Taking Action and Fail Forward and to Condition Yourself. It is a great read, and very sound advice!
If you have come across any great posts dealing with Link Building or Motivation, leave a comment below!
I hope you have a great week — Keep Moving Forward!

Hi Norene,
Thanks for sharing your findings with us, the 2 posts you found on seomoz.org sound very interesting. I’ve made a note in my journal to come back here and look at those later on.
… I would look at them now, but it would mess my time schedule up.
Thanks for another great post, Norene.
