TGIF, it’s time for another BIG Thanks post week ending the month of November.

For anyone interested in checking out our previous BIG Thanks articles, they can be accessed in our BIG Thanks archives, within our Site News and Updates section.

Blogs that mentioned us in a post or article:

The first BIG Thanks is for Gabriel Goldenberg, author on YOUmoz, the SEOmoz UGC blog…

If you are not already familiar with YOUmoz, it’s a user generated content bog maintained by the bloggers at SEOmoz. Basically, anyone can sign up for an SEOmoz account using your email and password you can login and write or contribute posts, case studies, articles, opinions, lists, whatever to the YOUmoz section on SEOmoz. It’s a great way to test your blogging skills, knowledge or to gain feedback from others, it’s also a great place to network with other search marketers and search industry professionals. Gabriel linked to our blog from one of the posts he wrote on YOUmoz which listed 5 bloggers from Sphinn and YOUmoz that he recommended others should subscribe to. I am not listed in the main five bloggers, but rather as an additional one worth checking out near the bottom of the post. When I first read the post and saw my name with the others in the listings I was blown away. No way I consider myself in with the bloggers he listed, but it was flattering to see and I really appreciate the mention, along with the link to our blog. Thanks so much Gab, it’s been great reading your contributions over at YOUmoz and on SEOroi, keep up the terrific blogging and topics.

Foreign language blogs that mentioned us in a post or article:

This BIG Thanks is for Jochen Krisch, author of Exciting Commerce…

Exciting Commerce is a Typepad blog written in German. The blog looks to be well written and has quite a bit of original content surrounding the eCommerce space. There’s a lot of content on social shopping and shopping services, so if you read fluent German, please don’t hesitate to check out Exciting Commerce’s blog. I don’t regularly read German, however I did translate the post that Jochen linked to us from, our Internet Retailer Hot 100. Thanks so much for mentioning our post and linking to our article on the Hot 100 eCommerce sites for 2008. Keep up the quality blogging and thanks for continuing to help report happenings in the world of eCommerce.

That’s it for this weeks BIG Thanks. I know, only two this week. Hopefully there’s more next week, I enjoy analyzing and discovering new blogs, even the foreign language ones. Hope you liked this weeks article and check out next weeks BIG Thanks. Don’t forget, if you happen to mention eCommerce Optimization on your own blog or add us to your blogroll, we might just feature you in one of our BIG thanks articles.
