Rand Fishkin, in his Whiteboard Friday post last Friday, shared eight ways you can build links with Twitter. Only, none of these methods actually provide you with a link from Twitter.

Online Success Need Not Be Measured in Enemies

ProBlogger

This guest post is by Margie Clayman of margieclayman.com. One of my favorite Elvis Costello choruses goes like this: “What’s so funny ‘bout peace, love, and understanding?”. I have always liked that song, but I never really thought I would live in a time where that question would resonate.

Kikolani

Over the Labor Day weekend, I had the pleasure of working on my first website using the Genesis Framework from StudioPress.
