First up this morning “Klout Adds Blogger, Flickr, Instagram, Last.fm and Tumblr.” If you guys have been paying attention here at Extreme John you will know that I have been a Klout user for some while now. Well now Klout has doubled the number of services that it uses to determine your online influence increasing your influence online! Take a look over this article to see what these new changes mean for your Klout score!
Next up this morning an article that reviews a study that claims that the Drudge Report drives more traffic than Facebook & Twitter combined! According to this article the Drudge report is solely responsible for some 6.85% of traffic within the Outbrain publisher network. How does that compare to social networking sites? It’s more than double!
Also in news this morning an article from Michal Wurm with “Four Tips for E-mail Newsletter Success.” E-mail newsletter marketing is a great way to keep clients in the loop with what’s going on in your business as well as lure inactive customers back in…but only when you do it right.

Last up this morning “Does Your Home Business Need Insurance?” Running a home based business can be confusing particularly if you are new to small business and don’t know the in’s and out’s of insurance. This article covers a number of types of insurance and will help you to determine whether you need insurance and if so which you need.

According to Drudge Report 7% traffic only from social networks but the report has not covered the traffic from blog commenting.I am getting appreciable traffic from blog commenting.I have also checked that the commented pages are also enlisted in organic searches.
Thanks for sharing that article on Home Business Insurance.
