It seems to me that a lot of thought has gone in to this site. I like its theme and when you read it, it’s evident that the author has previous internet marketing experience. Each post is clearly thought out – in fact, the author talks about how and why she does this in her latest post.

Other recent posts alert us to the difficulties that she and others had with one programme (and why we should avoid it !), and how one of her other blogs got on to page 1 of Google.  (Very nice going !). “Public Service Announcements” like this and Conspicuous Achievement in an Ultra-Competitive Niche both score highly on my Blog Of The Day criteria.

Delving further back we find an article about AdSense that made me realise that this blog is actually a bit different to most of the others that have won in this contest. Not only does it have AdSense, it also has some banner-style ads at the end of each post and a peel-away ad.

My reflex reaction to these is negative because I see them as possible exit points for visitors. But if you read the AdSense article, you will realise that the blog is actually using the tactics described in it. So it must be working ! And if it makes you cash, then you really can’t argue with that

I suggest that you take a peek at the blog I referred to earlier, the Page 1 of Google blog, as I think that we can learn a lot from that too. Finally, buried back in earlier posts, is something which is almost certain to make you laugh out loud. Check it out here.

So for blogging that is scientific and combines discussion of serious issues that deserve our attention with lovely humorous touches, Petra Weiss wins today’s Blog Of The Day for petra-weiss.com

Congratulations, Petra ! Your Blog Of The Day Award badge is on its way !

Well last time I used an old version of Camtasia from Techsmith. Today, I have made another video, but this time I used CamStudioPro from Dave Guindon.

In this video, I talk about Dave’s product and its value to internet marketers. I mention the two minor drawbacks that I see in it – if anybody knows how to get around these, I’d love to hear from you. And I’d also be very interested to know what everybody else is using. Do people use CamStudioPro or Camtasia ? Was the huge price difference a factor ? Or are you using  something else ? If so, why ?

As I write this, I still haven’t got around to viewing the recording of Alex’s session with Maria Andros, “The Video Marketing Queen”. When I do, I may find that I’m barking up the wrong tree entirely with everything that I say ! Even so, here it is … please let me know what you think. Thanks !

PS: I can’t quite remember whether I mentioned this on the video, so I’ll just add here that as part of his deal, Dave Guindon includes free upgrades for all new releases of CamStudioPro.

It’s my first and I’m happy to admit that it’s a little “rough and ready”, but I hope that it proves useful – please let me know whether it helps.

If you haven’t noticed, I’m referring to the box in the sidebar to the right. I’ve signed up with Feedburner, which is a part of Google. (How did we ever manage without them ?)

Feedburner is a nifty service that will hook in to your blog’s RSS feed and then send it via email to subscribers. Typically, these are people that prefer to have content delivered by email, or who maybe can’t reach blogs directly through their browser because they’re behind a firewall that prohibits access. I guess it also means that you could read the blog content offline after you’ve downloaded it on to your email client like Outlook, Thunderbird, or whichever program you use.

From the blogger’s point of view, Feedburner can also provide you with all sorts of stats about what’s happening to your feed. I have to admit that I haven’t even checked these yet, but I look forward to seeing how popular this facility becomes.

If you’re a blogger, you may want to look in to Feedburner so that you can provide another way for people to get your blog content.

Why not try it out now ?
