Sweet Sunny Saturday #19 and Marriage Proposal

By Brankica

This post is a part of the biweekly round up series Sweet Sunny Saturday, featuring the best posts about blogging, search engine optimization, social media and other cool blogging topics.

Special mention

I have mentioned Steve so many times, someone might think we have lunch together every single day. But the reason I do it is because he is such a great affiliate marketer and writes great stuff on the topic of how to make money online.

He is getting a special mention at the very beginning, because I hope you will at least read the first few posts in this round up and I want to make sure you don’t miss his posts.

#1 I called this one a WOW post - Quick $1.000 in 30 days.

#2 Another one he really did a great job with is a list of 61 Free eBook Downloads for Mastering Your Internet Lifestyle Design. Made me feel real inadequate about my recent post with great newsletters and books to read.

WordPress

#3 You know how everyone recommends installing a local version of WordPress blog on your computer? I have done it before and managed to mess it up so bad that my local version is showing all sorts of server errors. Do I even have to say that it isn’t working?

That is the reason I keep doing all the updates on the live blog, this one. But there is a great solution for it and I learned about it, where else, on Lisa’s blog – The best WordPress testing platform for Windows.

#4 If you run into the need to move your blog from one to another domain, here is a guide how to do it. Very easy to follow and very detailed.

#5 Using All in One SEO plugin to do your search engine optimization on a blog? Here is why your SEO is screwed with this plugin.

Social Media

#6 Yes, Kristi again, can’t get rid of that gal, everywhere I go there is a great post of hers. This time on Search Engine Watch blog and it is all about the Basic SEO for Facebook fan pages.

#7 I am trying not to miss any of the posts on BufferApp blog and this time I recommend a great post about twitter stats.

#8 Are you using LinkedIn? It is still a great place to get connected with people and work on your business. I feel more productive on LinkedIn than on other social networks :) Here is a post on how to improve your LinkedIn visibility.

#9 Facebook added a lot of new things over the last week, again… not that we really wanted/needed anything… but here is a nice overview of the Facebook vs. Google updates.

Productivity

#10 Do you use/create swipe files? What tools do you use? Here is a list of 7 tools to use to create swipe files.

General blogging

#11 This list is simply filled with ideas and I am sure you can use at least one to write an epic post this coming week. 52 types of blog posts that work.

#12 The guide to getting more referrals and increasing the word of mouth.

#13 The title of this post is 11 Ways to Get A-Listers to Give Your Content a BOOST! but there is so much more to it. Filled with ideas, don’t miss it.

SEO

#14 How to do SEO for competitive keywords is another detailed post from a great SEO blog.

    Love the links Brankica!

    I have just bookmarked this page for reading during my weekend, and would open up everything and go through it at my own pace! My eyes of course did go to Lisa’s blog link above, and though I haven’t gone through the video yet, but sure seems like something to try out before venturing further with Themes!

    Thanks so much for sharing :)

    Bran,

    So where are we gong to lunch on Monday? Chinese? ;)

    Thanks for the great links here and all the positivity. I worked a long time on that 1000$ article and it makes me feel really good that you (and a few others) appreciated it!!! Thanks for all the support!

    Looks like you have some really good links here. I am definitely going to check out the swipe file article specifically. I have long been a fan of swipe files and that topic specifically is on my short list for upcoming article ideas.

    Thanks for sharing and all the positive energy!

    -Steve

    Hey Brankica great list, it seems were following a bunch of the same bloggers. I’ve actually tweeted most of those articles this week. This is a pretty neat idea and I know from experience articles like this take time! Thanks for sharing all the great stories!

    oh my that video is a bit much lol, she really wants to marry him huh? He seems to be a typical man LOL

    • Brankica says:

      I am not surprised if he never marries after this :)

      I read posts all the time and add them to a draft for the next round up, that way I collect them over the period of two weeks for ever round up. I am thinking about switching it to weekly list though. I read way more posts though but I try to keep the list around 15 posts that are really the best.

    Possibly the smartest boy EVER. lol.

    I think Yoast went to town on the All-In-One SEO plugin before, too. I actually started with that one, then dumped it and went to Headspace, then finally went to Yoast’s plugin.

    I finally figured out my local server issues on my MAMP installation. It’s annoying as hell when you have to do your updates on the live blog because the local install keeps throwing errors. aargh.

    Oh man, I need a time machine so I have enough time to read all these posts lol!

    • Brankica says:
      09/24/2011 at 8:18 PM

      Definitely install the stuff Lisa recommended, I did it as soon as I read the post and boy is that the best thing ever :)

    Thanks for including Passive Panda in the list!

    p.s. The recent site changes look great. Hopefully conversions are skyrocketing. Keep the good stuff coming! :)

    p.p.s. Let’s chat soon!

    • Brankica says:
      09/24/2011 at 9:35 PM

      James, thanks, they are converting. Hit me up any time between today and this Thursday. Then I am in a dog show Friday-Monday and then I am at home not planning any trips soon :) I can’t believe I keep missing you for so long, lol, so sorry!

    Hi Brankica, I just finished reading Steve’s post Quick $1.000 in 30 days. You’re right, that’s an awesome post. I got a little distracted with Steve’s site but I’ll check each link right now. Thanks for sharing great content you have found.

    • Brankica says:
      09/26/2011 at 9:08 PM

      When I go to Steve’s site I keep reading for hours. Even the old posts. You see, most of that info I have ran into sometimes before or something but the way he write is finally making sense for me. It is very actionable, not like what I used to run into before, so glad you like it.

    Awesome roundup Brankica! I seriously enjoyed Steve’s 30 day marketing plan (I’ve actually read the entire article first before dropping a comment here). Also, thanks for including my recent post :D really glad to make it on your weekly roundup once again.

    • Brankica says:
      09/26/2011 at 9:10 PM

      You are more than welcome, Jason. I pretty much love all your posts, just sometimes miss them for awhile and run into them after posting the round up.

      Steve’s blog is great and I am glad you liked his post.

    That free ebook list is awesome, thanks for sharing that great article. I am actually gonna pay way more attention on your link sharing posts, you are curating some great content.

    I am thinking of doing the same thing. I believe it’s quite good for networking.

    Great list of posts here Brankica. In less than 10minutes, I read some great posts and found fodder for my next few tweets – which makes this win-win for all of us. Of course, I left likes, Google+’s and some other shares along the way. These articles are that good!

    • Brankica says:
      09/26/2011 at 9:14 PM

      I really try to promote the ones I loved. I read other people’s round ups and try to read most of the posts they link to. Unless they are really extraordinary, I get disappointed for losing time on reading them.
      I try to avoid that here.

      Did you receive my email response the other day?

    I like this post a lot but I LOVE that video! Out of all the links you shared I thought the most comprehensive was the one about getting A-listers to share your content, although I will pony up and say I’m probably not going to do half of it. :-)

    • Brankica says:
      09/27/2011 at 9:31 AM

      Do we ever :) I tend to actually do something I read from time to time, but I think abut 90% of the stuff ends up in my bookmarks… unfortunately :)
      Oh, and about the video – no wonder men are so scared to get married haha

    thanks for sharing the thorough walk through in moving the blog into another domain is very helpful. I never thought Id be able to do it on my own! Loved the vid. They were adorable!

    Dang! I thought I was gonna congatulate you on getting engaged. Lol! B.T.W which plugin do you use here in the comment to have poeple tick to sign up to you list? I used MAxblogpress subscriber magnet for it but it messed up my feed, so I had to de-activate it.
