That was a pingback from Lee Odden blog.<\/p>\n
Lee is CEO of TopRank Online Marketing and has a widely read, high traffic, high PR blog.<\/p>\n
It caught my eye like Seth Godin’s archetypal “Purple Cow<\/a>” (which stands out from the herd of brown cows).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Nice Fellow” is seldom a term used to refer to Shoemoney.<\/p>\n I’m used to people refer to Jeremy as the SEM specialist or the Ringtone King, but “Nice Fellow” really stuck out for me.<\/p>\n I just had <\/strong>to read Lee’s post: Pubcon Day .05<\/a>.<\/p>\n It was a succinct summary of the goings on at Las Vegas PubCon and while reading Lee’s post, the following caught my eye:<\/p>\n In the top right corner, Lee’s got a post entitled “Guy Kawasaki Needs Your Links<\/a>”<\/p>\n [I’m not exactly sure why Guy feels he needs to break into Technorati’s top 10 because I’d prioritize list building over SEO\/traffic.]<\/p>\n Lee does an excellent job of summarizing Guy’s presentation, though it’s similar to other ‘Art of the Start’ presentations he’s given. [Like i’ve posted at: Guy Kawasaki Art of the Start<\/a>. Guy’s almost pathologically famous for his ‘I’ve got 10 points’ opening to his talks] And while I’m at Guy’s blog, I also checked out his post: The 10\/20\/30 Rule of PowerPoint<\/a>, which is also relevant for those who prepare and present lots of presentations [like my wife, whom I’ve just emailed the link.]<\/p>\n And she’s been reading my copies of Guy’s “Selling the Dream<\/a>” and “Rules for Revolutionaries<\/a>” because she’s involved in a hush-hush project at work.<\/p>\n The point of all this?<\/p>\n Don’t discount the value of the humble trackback or pingback.<\/p>\n It can bring you around the blogging world and come back with a load of traffic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here’s an example of viral traffic generation.

\nBut I liked the relevance of Lee’s link because I just ordered a copy of Guy’s book “The Art of the Start<\/a>“.<\/p>\n
