Blogs that added us to their blogroll:

I would like to give a BIG Thanks to the author of Ecommerce Tutorials…

This site is new on my radar, however it has a pretty good domain name and the content seems to be pretty accurate. Although it is just getting going, there are plenty of beginner and intermediate lesson on the site already for others to check out. Topics range from beginning eCommerce articles about whether it’s right for you, choosing your sales medium, deciding on the right cart, tax info and shipping tutorials to information about accepting credit cards including the basics, definitions for merchant accounts, payment gateways and chargebacks. I look forward to seeing what the author puts together in the future, I bookmarked the site for later review and urge others who like the existing content to do the same. Thanks so much for adding us to your blogroll Ecommerce Tutorials, we appreciate the support and link love so very much, keep up the good work on your site.

Another blogroller I need to thank is Christian Delvaux, author at WebOutside.be…

I don’t speak fluent French, but I did get a chance to translate this French blog and was impressed by the content and delivery. The blog covers a variety of topics including information about business, internet and technology. It also has some fun and personality categories including one on humor, a diving category and even a whole category dedicated to Mac. The blog is rather new to the sphere, however there is quite a nice collection of posts building up, I suggest anyone who reads French to check it out. Thanks so much for adding us to your blogroll Christian, your support means a lot, we wouldn’t be where we are without others like you. Good luck with the blog, hope to see you go far.

Blogs that mentioned us in a post or article:

The first BIG Thanks for link mentions goes out to the folks at FlipSeek and Live Link Video…

We posted about these two companies this past week and reported about their innovative idea surrounding hypervideo and hyperlink video shopping. They were kind enough to add us to both site news pages, which we really appreciate, especially as their product has been getting a lot of buzz lately. I haven’t seen a blog from either company, but that would be a really great blogging niche, so I hope they decide to become the blogoshere analysts on hypervideos and live links from within media content. Thanks so much for adding our article link to your news pages guys, it’s awesome to see what you have put together and the amazing turn around time you offer for video reformatting. Keep up the great work on your products, look forward to seeing you evolve in the space.

Next, I want to personally thank Larry Sullivan, author at Local Biz Bits…

This blog covers tons of quality information for small business owners and concentrates on local search marketing topics. Other topics include conferences or events, listing with yellow pages, linking, mobile, social and even web design. The blog is newer to me, but I did subscribe to the feed and will continue to tune in for more local search goodness. Thanks so much for mentioning us in your local do-it-yourself resource roundup Larry, we greatly appreciate the link love and mention on your blog. I look forward to reading future posts and wish you the best of luck in all your ventures. BTW, I also wanted to thank you for you Sphinn support recently!

Another blogger I want to thank is Robert Carter, author at WebTigerSEO…

The WebTigerSEO blog is rather new to the blogosphere, but has already begun to make a mark in the space. The categories, articles and content topics are vast and the writing style is excellent. Although there are roughly less than 20 posts, the ones that are there provide generally good information. Categories include blogging, link building, local SEO, PPC, reputation management, social media, SEO and web design. The blogroll provides links to other excellent SEO bloggers. Thanks so much for the post mention this past week Robert. We truly appreciate your support and the link you provided to our local listing guide. I look forward to seeing where you take you blog, keep up the good work.

Lastly, I wanted to personally thank Jon Pape, author at Neurohancer blog…

This past week Jon featured one of our guides in one of his Cool Web things posts. We made the list with other prestigious blogs like Copyblogger, eMarketingPerformance, DoshDosh, SearchEngineLand and more. Jon’s blog is rather new to me though the content appears to be quality (archives go back to November of 2007). Categories include business, marketing, SEO/SEM, technology, web design and more. I like the Cool Web things series the best out of what I have read (no, not because we were listed in one, because they are great weekly roundups). Thanks so much for linking to us this past week Jon, the support and link are greatly appreciated. I enjoyed browsing through your blog, look forward to more from you in the future.

Forums that mentioned us in a thread or resource:

Only forum is Local Biz Builders and Brian Cook started the thread…

I haven’t joined or used this forum in the past however it appears to be quite a good resource for local marketers and industries surrounding local promotion. The forum currently has about 877 posts in 186 topics by 87 members. The forum seems new and on the smaller side, but I did read some really quality discussions on many of the threads there. If you are a forum addict and can’t keep all your profiles straight, this is certainly another one you should join. Thanks so much for mentioning us in your thread Brian, the link and exposure on your forum is fantastic, we really appreciate it. I like the theme you have installed on Local Biz builders, the topics seem to be coming along nicely. Keep up the good work, hope to see your member count skyrocket soon. Thanks again.

Well, that wraps up this weeks BIG Thanks shout outs. I am so very grateful to all our blog supporters, week after week. My only hope when first starting out as an eCommerce blogger was to reach people who I could potentially help and offer my personal insights into topics surrounding the industry. So far, it has all gone so much better than I could have possibly imagined. Through the power of the Web, technology and blogging software, not only are we able to reach our target audiences, hopefully we have been able to share thoughts and ideas with others who are interested in learning what we cover on the blog.

Really, thanks again everyone, your support is much appreciated.
