Two Tips To Help You Rank Well for Your Own Name
BY STEPAN MAZUROV
I am one of the lucky people that does no have a common name, and as such I can easily rank well for my own name. That page links to 6 different websites that contain the way to contact me. My linked in, facebook, this blog (twice), site of our good friend Kris Smith, my very unfinished personal website and even twitter status updates all show up on first page of Google. Here is the tips that should help you achieve the same success.

Understanding the 'Digg Podcast' section
BY STEPAN MAZUROV
Almost 2 months ago, for their 42nd (re)design and feature roll out, Kevin Rose announced on the Digg blog about a new feature called "Podcasts." Here is what he said:
Podcasting
Now you can Digg your favorite podcast series and individual podcast episodes. Not only can you see a list of the most popular podcasts by section, you can also dive into any individual podcasts to see the most Dugg individual episodes. And don't forget - every time you Digg a podcast or podcast episode that is bookmarked in your profile and shared with your friends.
The Podcasts Section: what does it offer?
After we all had some time to play around with this section and get a feel for its popularity it is time to get down and dirty and figure out how to use it to promote your podcast. Instead of following the traditional "newest items first" scheme used in every other section, the digg team decided to sort podcasts by lifetime diggs. The basic idea is that each podcast is represented in order from highest diggs to lowest with the image, title and short description of each podcast as well as the good old Digg This button. Those curious enough to dig deeper have noticed that once you are on an individual podcast page, Digg proudly allows everyone to vote for individual shows within a podcast. While the diggs you get for individual shows do not reflect on the grand total for your show, they seem to play a significant role in the "Upcoming Podcasts" section featured on the main podcasting page.

5 Tips for Smarter Digging
BY JASON CORMIER
The social media site Digg has become tremendously popular -- which gives it considerable power to enhance your search visibility.
If you're not already using Digg, it's worth checking out to learn how it works. Even if you never become a regular Digg user, it's helpful to know what to do if some of your online content (or someone else's content that mentions or links to you) gets "Dugg," becomes popular, and sends a sudden spike of traffic your way.
I recently created a video tutorial called Digg Basics. If you're brand new to Digg, this 12-minute tutorial explains how Digg works and shows you how to register with Digg, how to Digg and get Dugg, and more.
Of course, there's much more to Digg -- and to all social media services (there are so many similar ones) -- than I could possibly fit into a short basic tutorial. So here are five tips to help you make the most out of Digg and avoid common pitfalls...

The + Content = Formula
BY BEN CASTELLI
With the challenges involved with reciprocal link building, generating incoming links through article marketing has proven very effective. A well crafted article with great content can deliver increased traffic, incoming links, and higher search rankings.
But how do you create the content that leads to a viral article, especially when your business is less than exciting?
Esoos Bobnar over at SearchEngineNews.com recently published a great article on how to create online article content that will build links and increase search engine rankings.
Web surfers today have very short attention spans and are looking for information that either solves a specific problem or entertains them. Esoos breaks down 3 common elements of successful articles that generate a large amount of incoming links:
Lists + Instructional + Catchy/Descriptive Title = Good chance for incoming links.
You can't turn on the TV or look at a magazine these days without seeing some sort of list - Top 50 this or Top 10 that - it only makes sense to use this same element in your online articles. Lists are short, easily digestible pieces of information that draw people in. Instructional lists are popular since they are offer a valuable learning experience (How to...). A good example of the is the the Make Magazine Blog which has made its way to the homepage of del.icio.us. Finally the title is key since most web surfers quickly scan article titles and quickly make a snap judgment. Your title is your 3 second audition to hook the reader, get them to spend some time with your article and then blog about it on their own site.
Getting started with some good content creation is only part of the equation, check out our Article Marketing Services to help guide your writing efforts and promote your articles through leading online article marketing networks (for RSS syndication) and user generated content sites (Digg, Del.icio.us)
