Hi Brian, I’d heard about blog tipping but didn’t quite “get it” until seeing your examples above. Very helpful, thanks for this. By the way, I’m very selective about what blogs I read regularly, and yours is one of my favorites.

Hey Rob. Yep, it’s amazing that the more you send people away, the more they value *you* as a resource. I think your “further resources” idea is a perfect way to add even more value to your great blog.

Thanks for the Tip Brian. I will schedule a “link love” post for the near future. I have also decided to start including a “Further resources” type section to each of my posts so I can link out to some great blogs.

Well, you can always link to my keyword research page and the one I mentioned above if you need to provide some info about choosing keywords and fixing the AdWords stuff. You, in turn, can write a post on how to best write a good landing page and an AdWords ad, I guess. It might make a good read and combination, overall. The goal of the blog is to attract the interested people, so far, and get someone to help with their site as a bonus. I can't force myself putting up lesser quality stuff on my blog, really, though I did think that if people read all I have to say, they won't need my services.

Thanks for the promotion Brian, traffic is through the roof today! You’ve spurred me on to some blog tipping as well (pay it forward type thing)!

[...] What is BlogTipping, you ask? Well, I’ve had some fun reading a few entries this morning, it’s kind of a bit of link love and ‘tipping your hat’ to a blog you enjoy (as well as offering a tip as well – as in advice). Here’s a good one at CopyBlogger and at Business BlogWire. The simple format is to pass out three compliments, one piece of feedback (I prefer to call it an ‘invitation to grow’!), link to the blog (duh), and finally, be sure to tag your post with “blogtipping”.

Blogtipping Day August 2006: Tracking the Mayhem…

Well, my fellow business blogging aficionados, it’s Blogtipping Day today and I thought you’d be interested in tracking the mayhem along with me. Let’s see what blogs have been tipped and who’s been doing the tipping:Chad Horenfeldt at Anythi…

The blogtippin’ headlines are getting more creative. Everyone puts their own flavor on it – very fun. I’m following the mayhem and will be posting later today on the best of what I’ve found via this meme.

I second Mike’s motion – superb poetic touch there, Brian .

I blog alongside Brandon Hopkins at Know More Media, so I know the guy fairly well. I agree with your praise/tips for him. The other two, I didn’t actually know before, so I appreciate you taking the time to do this. It’s nice to get an initial sense of what to expect as I click the link to visit each blog.

Philosophicalness time: I’ve been tempted several times to offer some sort of prize to a random blogtipper each month, or to the best blogtipper, or to the one with the most blogtippees who also blogtipped, etc. But each time I’ve just thought, I don’t want to muddy this water. It’s just so precious that people are doing this to benefit other people, and not just for themselves.
