  1. Thanks for the mention buddy.

    Have you thought about adding a logo to this blog? I’m sure it’d help grow your brand.

    You misspelled my name, but I guess I’ll let you slide this time :) . I am honored you thought the post was worth a mention.

    Those are not hollow thoughts either. I have some serious “shovels” on order that are about to be available to the blogging/webmaster community. I’ll make sure you are one of the first to get one :) .

  3. Nice posts, I’ve read a couple of them and they were interesting.

  4. Great finds Nate, I’m definitely checking them out as we speak. (#);)

    Great collection … I think it is especially important to think carefully ahead of time about a niche before beginning a blog, or testing out a few things to see what works.

  9. I like Rhys Wynne’s black sheep bloggers article… we need a few more of them :)

    Hi this is abron, I like what you did with your site I was wondering can you show me how to be successful with my blog. It breaks my heart that I put so much time and effort into my blog and I still don’t get traffic. I just want to support my kids and wife please help.

  11. Jalaj says:

    Those were nice links, specially David Airey’s Do you follow logo design trends? I never caught the trends from within those sites that I visit

  12. Sumesh says:

    Hmm…these posts are cool – maybe you’d count me in next time.

    Btw, I have a suggestion – avoid AListers and link to lesser-known bloggers(I’m not speaking for just myself). Since Alisters already get hundreds of links, its not a problem for them. And it would help the promising, young bloggers too !

  13. Israel says:

    interesting sites. i will definitely check them out.

  14. androo says:

    Wow a great way to drive traffic to not only your blog but to others as well…. very creative!
