Wow-another thing to add to the tech-toolbox. Although I’m undyingly grateful to those Google guys for drastically simplifying my life the past decade, they don’t need to know the toilet paper I use.

TY for the code, Ana and welcome back from your ski vacation:)

• Anyone Should Blog? 3 Types of Blogs and 3 Ways to Handle Them
  Amen, Ana. I couldn’t agree more that blogging will have you camped next to the canines in the workhorse department. Luckily, I have a Siberian Husky, so he’s a good companion for those late nights and early mornings when the sane people of this world are asleep:).

  Loving the advice in #2 (Branding)-find your target audiences biggest frustration, and solve it for them. Drilling down to specifics is key, too. There’s a reason “make money blogging” has 10M hits…

  And to add to the little blogger to blogger conversation, share the quality resources. I am generally turned off by sites with too many internal links…quoting experts, statistics, and studies is always impressive, and improves credibility, regardless of your niche.

  TY for the tips to stay away from the wrong side of the glass;)

• How Two Days Without Internet Made Me Stumble Upon a Great Idea
  Lol, Ana! It’s only a problem if it’s keeping you from completing other tasks more important. If so, you may want to cut back. If you normally answer 20 per post, cut it to 10, or a number that works for you. I know that most A-list bloggers don’t respond to many comments, but I doubt you’d lose a lot of traffic by tightening up that boundary.

  I can’t imagine answering the volume of comments that you get, here-ugh!

  Hope that half-asses psychological assessment resonates…and please DON’T respond to this comment!

• How Two Days Without Internet Made Me Stumble Upon a Great Idea
  Taking a break from responding to umpteen comments sounds like a fabulous idea, and a sure-fire way to balance home and work, Ana.

  Not that I’d likely ever respond to anyone’s comment, simply b/c I don’t have the tech-skills.

  And thanks again to Ben and Josh from www.profitblog.com for helping me with my eBook image-you rock!

  I love this site, and learn something valuable every week:)

• Blog Audit Friday: Lend a Helping Hand to Traffic Generation Cafe
  Hi Ana-

  Now you know, I have next-to-no SEO, web design, and tech creds-I am the OGL (Original Gangsta Luddite).

  Pls keep in mind, I’m looking at your blog from a psychological POV, or someone who is “always in the wrong class,” and not necessarily trying to fit in (I’m quite comfortable in my little therapist skin) but to understand this other world.

  First impressions:

  ~Love the look, the header, the coolness, and the blue and red. Somehow, this color scheme could construe cold and aloof, but not here.

  ~The header pic: I always assumed it was you, altho u look somewhat different in various profile pics, and on video. But then yesterday, I saw someone on Twitter w/the same gravatar. Hmmmm..did they jack Ana? Maybe she’s gaming us? Regardless, it totally works, and ur beautiful, so who really cares if it’s you or not. So, is it you…?:).
  ~Engagability: I don’t know too many other A-listers who commit to answering comments, sincerely helping, offering the awesome Blog Audit Fridays and broadcasts. I think ur in a class by yourself, here. Hope it lasts, but if not, I’m not mad ‘atcha.
  ~Personality. I was really watching your first Sunday Coffee broadcast (or first for me anyway) from a therapist’s POV. B/c I didn’t know much of you then, I thought “let me just sit back and watch her in action. How do I feel in her presence. How does she engage? Is she sincere? Why is she doing this for free?”
  I was looking for something ‘salesy’ but didn’t find it. Then ur beautiful daughter came in, and you were so calm as she interrupted (in a very age-appropriate manner;)), and you won me over b/c it takes a lot of grace and poise to conduct business and calmly explain to your child that “mommy is working.”
  ~Authenticity: which I have to say is a mainstay for the psychotherapy profession, and hugely pre-dates the blogosphere. Love the honesty, and the no b.s approach. You remind me of Naomi Dunford of ittybiz on that front, and I really value it.
  ~Cred-the numbers speak for themselves, and you can’t fake that funk, baby.

  In a nutshell, those are characteristics I look for when choosing to spend my limited emotional energy, and sorry that I couldn’t find any tech problems, but for me, that’s not as important as other stuff.

  So there you go, my 1/2 ass-psychological audit of your blog.

  Keep on rockin’ the traffic generation!
  ~Linda

• How to Track and Manage Your Traffic Generation Efforts
  Thanks for the valuable info for traffic generation, Val.

  I like the simplicity of:
  -Ideas
  -Actions
  _Visitors

  Also like Ana’s idea to get a columnist gig, as well as her list of 202 things to help your blog-there are a lot of creative ideas, and I just tried one which resulted in traffic generation…

  I tend to go with what’s working for others, too. Why reinvent the wheel when the car only needs four to run smoothly, right?
