So, what’s caught my attention while doing my rounds of all things SEO and bloggy on the web this week?

Well, lots of stuff actually…

Blogging Tips a-go-go

Scott Sweeney’s post comparing the talent and determination of a pro-athlete like Michael Jordan to the requirements of becoming a successful blogger was a really interesting take on the subject and a nicely worked analogy.

While we’re on the subject of successful bloggers, I was really impressed with this post on the 22 Essential Habits Towards Blogging Success.

Of course, there’s always a risk that you could go too far.  Check out James Duthie’s 7 Sure Fire Signs You’re Addicted To Blogging before it’s too late.

Just to help promote a bit of balance though, here’s Jennifer Slegg’s tips for making sure that you don’t end up letting your blog run your life.

SEO Trademark Watch - The many faces of Jason Gambert

Rhea Drysdale and the Scooby Gang tracked a bunch of Jason supporting commenters on a number of different sites back to the same IP address - Jason’s.
Someone give that girl a Scooby Snack.

(And BTW, what is it with people called Jason trying to piss off SEOs?  First there was Calacanis, now this.)

Some (not-so) Light Reading For The Weekend

Aaron Wall’s written a really lengthy and detailed post about estimating the value of top rankings in organic searches.  I’ve only had a chance to briefly skim through the post so far (seriously, it’s like the SEO blogging equivalent of War And Peace) but it’s at the very top of my list of things to read thoroughly over the weekend.

How many posts about Twitter are there in Sphinn??!

More than you can shake a stick at.
This week alone, we’ve had:

How To Make A Small Fortune With Twitter
How I Use Twitter for Headline Examples
Twitter Wrote This Column For Me
Getting the Twitterati to Talk about You
Twitter: I Twink I Twove You
Twitter Secrets Revealed

Matt McGee: Twittering for Charity
Twittering For Charity
To Tweet or Not to Tweet? 50+ Links & Tools
7 Things Twitter Can’t Do

And that’s just the stories that have gone hot!  By Thursday every other story on the front page was about Twitter and tempers seemed to be getting a little bit frayed as the tit for tat desphinns started to fly.

I just hope next week brings us more stories that aren’t about Twitter.

By the way, if you want to follow me and my irregularly scheduled silliness on Twitter, hit me up @TheKenJones.

And that’s me done for another week.  Have a great weekend folks and I’ll see you soon.
