Each week I try to post a few links to excellent blogging tips, business tips and information on social media sites that I came across during the week. I do this for a few reasons one of which is to share blogging information with newbie bloggers or business bloggers that are looking to create a greater online presence for their business.
When I first started this series I called it the Sunday Smash, which is basically my version of a mashup for the week and it gives me a chance to spread some Do Follow link luv on to other blogs that I read, in some cases those bloggers are nice enough to shoot me a few backlinks in return. I actively read over 500 blog posts over the course of the week on everything from business tips, SEO, blogging tips and of course some excellent blogs on mixed martial arts.
If you have your own blog on business tips, blogging tips, SEO tips, WordPress info, plugins, social media or just about anything else, take a second to leave a comment and I’ll check your blog out, this is a U Comment I Follow Blog.
Hey before you get out of here today drop by my boy Sully’s new project Blogger Luv, the site’s blowing up and he has a really cool thing going over there and NO I don’t get paid to say that shit.

I have a few gaming blogs, and recently just started a new blog to help Gaming Bloggers with their blogs.
@Brian Inman, I bet your traffic will grow there pretty fast.
Great list John. Maybe next time I can get included in that? ;-)
@Melvin, I will check out your blog and see what you have going Melvin who knows maybe I’ll have you in next week’s.
John,
Thanks so much for the link luv, that’s the best list I have ever seen on the internet. So happy to see my name on the list. I think you have colts on the mind typo above but don’t worry about it. I hope your Jets win and take care of them. Are you going to the Super Bowl?

Karen @ Blazing Minds´s last blog ..Did Some Tweaking to Blazing Minds Today!
Hey John, thanks for including my post into your weekly link love post. It’s surprised to see my post here, but it’s not surprised to not to see my name in the top contributor this week as I was quite busy with my working and studies, that killed my time and my mental.
Anyway, I enjoy this week listing here John.
Happy weekend!
Cheers,
Lee
Extreme John,

@Arden, thank you. I usually do it on a weekly basis.
Nice post . I really like your Social Media tips… i’ve read all of them.
NiceBlogger´s last blog ..NiceBlogger’s monthly contest – January
Thanks for the mention. That bloggerluv site dropped like 700k on Alexa so far this month but I had a serious prob with some script on there so I had to redo the whole database and everything.In other words we haven’t even pushed it yet just shows the power of a few people helping each other out:)
Have a great day
Thanks I hope to be #1 on that next referral list
I swear it’s 420 am right now LOL
John Sullivan´s last blog ..Free honest blog reviews from @BlogGOD himself Sweet
@John Sullivan, that’s big bro. Sucks about the database but if that’s your only set back you should be golden ;)
Another cool collection John.
Karl Foxley´s last blog ..Testing, Testing, Testing, Do Not Click
@Karl Foxley, thank you Karl.
Thank you so much for sharing your collection. I’m new to social media with regards to application. This is really going to be helpful. Thanks.
@Christina, there should be a few helpful tools in there for ya, let me know how it works out and thank you for taking the time to comment.
Now should this really be called tips of the week or stories of the week…so misleading. Thought I was getting a look inside John’s brain about blogging and social media! Just joking. Thanks for giving me lots to read…again!
@Mike @DailyShotOfCoffee, I hate the name too.
John, your post has inspired me to do more I think you will like this.
Jared P Little´s last blog ..Scuba TV
@Jared P Little,
Not sure where that link came from Keyword Luv issues
My Sunday Smash Up
@Jared P Little@The Money Cult, I will head over there and check it out. Thank you.
I was reading the article on the Facebook valuation of $14 billion. Then I was thinking… how much does Facebook cost society? This is a pretty extreme statement, but think about it. How many hours a day are spent on Facebook instead of something productive? I’m going to make up some numbers and write a crazy blog on it.
@Anthony @ Jumpness, you need to throw me a link when you do because I bet those numbers are staggering.
@Extreme John, http://www.dudeforreal.com. It’s the latest post I just wrote.
Nice links this Sunday John, I Luv all cooperation ideas so I must say that I Luv bloggerLuv!
Hesham @ FamousBloggers´s last blog ..Top 18 Stories from MMO Social Network
Thanks for the linky love John. I am having to move that site over the next few weeks, I wrote a post about it on BloggerLuv (thanks for linking to that site too!) to explain how I got screwed, but it will make things better down the road!
Keith@BloggerLuv´s last blog ..Every blogger needs some LUV let’s give it to them all
More great info to soak in.
Thanks EJ
Another cool list of blog articles John.
ZXT´s last blog ..What is a Phylactery?
I found BloggerLuv the other day it seems like a great new site. It has a “community” feel to it which is something that I look for in blogs.
Some of the authors are amusing. I love a blogger with a sense of humor.
Dwippy@DoFollow Blog List´s last blog ..Comment Surfing
Some cool articles I haven’t read yet, how’d you do that? ;)
Dennis Edell´s last blog ..The Time Has Come. The Deal Is Done. It’s Time To Move!!
Nice to see such a mix of famous and not-so-famous-yet-very-good-bloggers on your list!
Anne @ b6s.net´s last blog ..Know of a Good Program for Domainoholics?
That’s a very nice and helpful post. I absolutely agree that using Facebook and Twitter is a good tip. Hope to have more tips from your other posts. Thank you.
