What You Missed in 2008

by Michelle MacPhearson

It’s the end 2008 and we’ve got a brand new year ahead of us – a clean slate! Before you start conquering 2009, take a look at the most popular posts of 2008 and make sure you’re caught up!

MOST COMMENTED POSTS

1. Do Nofollow Links Count – Redux: A study of the “nofollow” tag and evidence that Google actually will rank a page that only has “nofollow” links pointing to it.

2. Master List of Coaches on Twitter: Fun list of life, personal * business coaches that are also on Twitter.  If you’re a coach, I encourage you to add your details here.

3. Build a Business, Not a Product: Where product creation and business building intersect & the type of sales funnel that’ll rake in the most dough.

4. Top Ranking Social Media Websites: These social media websites consistently rank highly in the search engines and therefore should be a target for your social marketing campaign.

5. YouTube Sponsored Video How To: A look at YouTube’s new “Sponsored Video” pay per click advertising product.

6. Slimy Internet Marketing Salesletters: This post elicited the most passionate responses of any post I’ve ever published, I highly recommend you take a look and join the discussion.

7. How to Get Traffic From A-List Bloggers: This is still a great technique both for link building and generating organic traffic from the A-listers.

8. #?? In Google in 3 Days!: How to get a top Google rank in 3 days.

9. Building Links Too Fast = Blacklisting?: People are often told that if you build links to your site too quickly, it’ll be blacklisted.  Get the truth here.

10. I Was Terrified: Overcoming fear/self doubt in your internet marketing business – this post was very personal.

HIGH TRAFFIC POSTS

These posts made the “Top 10″ list in terms of traffic received but did not make the top commented list:

1. Alejandro Reyes On Social Networking – Video Replay Available: Probably my favorite call of 2008.  Alejandro is so much fun to talk to and his passion and enthusiasm is infectious!

2. Jeff Walker & YouTube PPC On a New IMTW: A great episode of “Internet Marketing This Week” that deserved the attention it got.

3. 30 Minute Backlinks: A look at the 30 Minute Backlinks link building program.

4. Social Wordpress Plugins: Some of the more “social” Wordpress plugins I was using at the time, this is outdated now and needs an update.

Thank you to everyone who has read and commented here over the past year – your thoughts and participation make this blog what it is!

You’ll see more great, free content in 2009 from yours truly!

Hi Michele,

I tried out your 30 minute backlinks and it’s awesome. For one of my clients I got them the number 1 ranking at Google and 2 thru 10 is other listings for what it’s about. They now own the first page real estate for that phrase.

Thanks
