So wonderful to see the new 2009 version is up. Been there since the 23rd, so I'm late. Great pioneers like Andy Beard represented this year. :)

From the page: "However, in my recent experience, I've seen that link creation on the part of bloggers, journalists, site owners, and social media participants is less about linking to the "best" content, and more about linking to something because they get something in return. For example:

* Twitter users, forum posters and bloggers all like to link to things that will make their visitors/audience appreciate them and come back to them"

From the page: "The dentist was a new dentist to me and was literally across the street. I did a Google search to get the number by searching for dentists and my zip code. By the time I left I was talking to the dentist about online marketing and whether or not he wanted to barter for an $800+ crown :-) He was a super guy and when I got back home, I decided to add a review to his Google Local Listing. Not only am I sure he will appreciate it, but I will print it out to give him with a copy of my new book (The Internet Marketing Guide for Small Business) and show him that I have already started to market his business for him."

A good tip. "Understand your creative zones - different people have different productivity levels during the day" - I've also noticed that I get great titles and ideas from things I talk about on Twitter and FriendFeed.

Suppressing urge to add several hundred exclamation points after this statement: "Give your visitors something to do."

="Why I'm wrong: I'm not wrong on this one. In spite of some spectacular examples of ripoff artists making it big, they're getting caught, too. The industry is slowly, painfully coming of age." Just because I love it when rip-off artists get caught....

Revie of a link building tool. Looks good but... "It does break down a bit, however, when you get into local search queries and other queries where authorities and hubs are more difficult to find."

Read it if you need it. "In general, the title tag, and what is in your title tag, must describe the content of that web page."
