Before I try to block some time to read through all of the entries, I just wanted to take a moment and congratulate everyone for their participation and to Wendy for coordinating another great research project.

It looks like there will be some great information included in this project!

3. On July 12th, 2007 at 1:31 pm, Ben Yoskovitz said:

Great job as always Wendy. Lots of valuable links and I particularly like the fact that the topics are quite diverse.

Excellent job everybody.

Man how I love these projects. Now where to start?!

I’ve Stumbled and Dugg this post. I will Stumble all the articles I read!

Nice work all. It is great to see the group address all levels of expertise. Generally the blogging community assumes a higher level of knowledge and tends to be more technical.

Good work Wendy and company.

Best,
Howard

I guess my post wasn’t good enough to get on the list.

Shame…

Great List!

14. On July 14th, 2007 at 5:03 pm, Andy said:

Hi Wendy! First off, great list. You can tell that everyone put a lot of time into it. I wish that I would have participated.

The only question I have is why all the links have no follows on them. It doesn\’t quite seem right asking everyone to put in their time and effort and then using links that don\’t even count.

I didn\’t participate so I\’m not mad, but I would be if I had put my time into it.

15. On July 16th, 2007 at 10:22 am, Wendy Piersall said:

Yikes - thanks for catching that Andy - I copied and pasted some of the links from comments left on the announcement post and didn’t even think about the nofollow tag coming with it!

All fixed. :D

16. On July 17th, 2007 at 12:55 am, doris said:

Hey Wendy, this is a helpful list for someone new in internet marketing like myself. I’m already learning some tips from couple of these articles.
