Each week I post a recap of the excellent blogging tips and other great blog posts that I have collected during the course of the week and share it here on my blog, I also include links to my most popular posts over the last week as well.
I call this series 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 check out, in some cases those bloggers are nice enough to shoot me a few backlinks in return. I actively read over 100 various blogs during the course of the week on everything from business tips, SEO tips, blogging tips and of course some excellent blogs on mixed martial arts.
Thanks to my Top 25 Contributors
I wanted to change up this week’s Sunday Smash as a way to say thanks to everyone that left a comment here on Extreme John last week. As busy as I am with my two business’s I still try to visit each of the bloggers blogs that are nice enough to comment here and contribute on their blog as well (U comment I Follow), lately it’s been getting rough to get to EVERY blog and read every article. I hope this will show my appreciation for the Do Follow comments that you leave here on my blog, I hope you see great results from your Comment Luv links as well.

Wow..Thanks for the link luv john.. and I liked the “Featured Crap” on the homepage…It has a Extreme John feel
Compute Live´s last blog ..Enable Tethering on iPhone OS 3.1.2 3G/3GS
@Compute Live, try to spruce the dumb up a little bit with some sexy crap ;)
I have been following some of these blogs and many of them in the list are new to me.. Though I’m gonna read as much as I can from this list…
Wordpress Premium Themes´s last blog ..No self Ping Wordpress plugin : Stop Showing Track back within your Blog
Now that’s how to throw down a post
thanks for the mention
Stumbled and RT
John Sullivan´s last blog ..Blogging to a HIGHER level
@John Sullivan, yeah every once and a while I try to spit something useful out. Not sure that Frank would agree, not that I give two shizzies either way. Haha.
I’m a Dofollower too
I think spreading the love is a great concept. However, I know some bloggers don’t like to be included in dofollow lists because they feel it can turn into a spammers magnet. For myself, I think that if you’re willing to actually monitor the comments on a blog (along with using a spam filter of course) it shouldn’t be much of a problem to weed out the bad ones.
Anne @ b6s.net´s last blog ..Twitter Do and Don’t List for Webmasters
@Anne @ b6s.net, I just went through all of my comments for last week, I ended up having 10 spam comments slip through the system. It took me seconds to deal with, and btw happy to see your a Do Follow blogger, I stopp by your blog just the other day actually
Wooo Hooo I made it into the top five, PARTAY! Thanks for the linky love in the post, awesome
Karen @ Blazing Minds´s last blog ..WordPress Plugins I find useful for Blog Posting
@Karen @ Blazing Minds, I saw you in there and thought…. WAHOOO Karen!! Thanks for being such a great contributor here.
Karen, I just commented on your blog and it’s nofollow after all
Thought I’d mention it in case one of your plug-ins broke down…
Anne at B6S.net´s last blog ..Twitter Do and Don’t List for Webmasters
@Anne at B6S.net, My blog only removes the nofollow after a set amount of posts, that way only well commenting bloggers get some linky love…
Karen @ Blazing Minds´s last blog ..The New Blazing Minds Blog Search
@Karen @ Blazing Minds,
Is there a plugin that you use for that?
Mike from Daily Shot Of Coffee´s last blog ..Fresh Brews: True Love And Peppermint Mocha
@Mike from Daily Shot Of Coffee,
One plugin is called Lucia’s Linky Luv. It seems to work well. You can set the number of comments to activate dofollow on all the comments left by that commenter. Do a Google for it to see some of the blogs that use it.
Keith@Norman Rockwell Art´s last blog ..Oct 26, Norman Rockwell Museum: Making Vacations Memorable
@Mike from Daily Shot Of Coffee, I use the plugin called “Nofollow Free” it’s simple, easy to use and very customizable!
Karen @ Blazing Minds´s last blog ..Who’s the Band – Ivory Tower Project
@Mike from Daily Shot Of Coffee, I thought you knew about that plugin already, sorry I should have told you.
@Karen @ Blazing Minds, Thanks for explaining, Karen and for letting me know about these plug-ins – will definitely have a look at them!
Anne @ b6s.net´s last blog ..Twitter Do and Don’t List for Webmasters
Barely made it into the top 25… but that’s cool, I’m happy
Thanks & have a great Sunday!
Klaus @ TechPatio´s last blog ..TinyGrab – A Snow Leopard Screenshot Sharing Alternative To GrabUp
@Klaus @ TechPatio, congrats and thank you for contributing.
Getting to see some change on How you present the Sunday Smash and it’s looking good.
Thanks for the link love…(By the way, you can get my logo directly by saving the logo image. No need to take the screenshot, crop and do the long procedure.

Typhoon´s last blog ..5 Things To Keep In Mind While Selling Banner Ads On Your Blog
@Typhoon, I will have to do that next time around. All though now that I figured out how to take easy screen shots with a MAC I don’t mind it as much, all though it would be nice if it instantly opened the screen cap in an editor. Im lazy.
Your Sunday Smash is getting better and better John. Once again thank you for the link juice.
ZXT´s last blog ..Sunday’s Babe of the Week
@ZXT, no sweat bro thank you.
Yep. Keep smashing!
The review posts I write each week are my hardest posts to write, but I was told last night they were getting a lot better. Makes the work worthwhile when people notice improvements.
Dave Doolin | Website In A Weekend´s last blog ..It’s Sunday. No Blog Post Today.
@Dave Doolin | Website In A Weekend, without a doubt it makes continuing a little easier doesn’t it.
Nothing worse than working your a$$ off on something and no one even notices.
Interesting to see the Android vs iPhone competition hotting up. I have to admit, I’m a bit of an Android fan, mainly because I love open source stuff. Having said that, I still haven’t bought an Android phone because I don’t think there’s a iPhone-killer available just yet. Fingers crossed for the new year though!
@Pete@Trial Contact Lenses, I watched that video and as impressive as it was it hardly made me want to buy the phone as a better option to an iPhone.
Keep in mind I am a Blackberry user myself, it’s pretty basic though and the keyboard on the Droid is a big plus for me over the iPhone. I have broken my hands a few times not to mention I have big hands to begin with, typing on that touch screen iPhone would suck.
@Extreme John, to be honest I don’t really like the ad, it reeks a bit of “my dad’s bigger than your dad”, but putting that aside the thing I like about Android is the pace of development – it seems to be coming on in leaps and bounds. Having said that, compared to the iPhone, it’s still got a bit of a way to go to be a real alternative.
Oh and I’ve got pathetic little girly hands so a touch screen keyboard probably won’t give me any problems
Hey thanks for the link love John! I appreciate it! It’s really have a lot of fun being a part of the community in this blog, I’ll continue contributing in this blog John!
Lee Ka Hoong@Make Money Online´s last blog ..How I Make Money Online From Blog Contest?
@Lee Ka Hoong@Make Money Online, thank you Lee.
WOW!!! Thanks Dude!!!
I appreciate the link love and the fact that you do visit my blog and comment as well. Pulling all these links together must have taken you hours. How the heck do you do it?
@Ms. Freeman, yeah it was more of a good idea gone bad. I hate when posts take this much time to put together to be honest with you, one of my favorite “special treats” for myself when blogging is getting to wrap up a post quickly.
On a Saturday night this post took a little too long, haha.
Great way to show the love. 25 links…very vewry generous of you. There are a few blogs that I am not familiar with..going to check out now.
Tycoon Blogger@Make Money Blog´s last blog ..Twitter Follower Management Tool – Tweepi Review
@Tycoon Blogger@Make Money Blog, yeah I have too much passion.
Hey thanks for the add. Liked this Sunday smash, the way you presented it and also you have made a lot of changes to your blog. Looking Good John
Keep it going!
Nehh´s last blog ..“New Moon” Stars hit Hollywood & Highland
@Nehh, thanks bro.
Thanks for the link brother. Love the blog and the hard work you do!
Thanks for including me in the list and for always commenting on my blog.
Just noticed the classic posts! I really like that.
Mike from Daily Shot Of Coffee´s last blog ..Fresh Brews: True Love And Peppermint Mocha
@Mike from Daily Shot Of Coffee, I had a feeling someone might find the Classics interesting, glad you like it and thanks for noticing
Thanks for the link luv brother!
Alan @ Glass Pipes´s last blog ..Weekend specials on Glass Pipes & Glass Bubblers
thanks for the link .. it’s great to be one of your top commentators
Wow! First, thanks for the mention. Second, third, …. what an awesome layout you have used here. Is this the plugin that you were telling me about the other day? This is just getting better and better my friend. Keep it up, and you just gave me another idea for a new “block” in my echo, which I hope will still go live sometime today.
DiTesco´s last blog ..Forget Making Money Online – It Sucks #1
I was quite busy for few days so I couldn’t check out your posts.Thank you for the link love buddy. I really appreciate that
Ricky´s last blog ..Check How Funny Is Your Death By The Death Predictor Tool

Ricky´s last blog ..Check How Funny Is Your Death By The Death Predictor Tool
@Ricky, I had this happen to me too. It sorted itself out when I refreshed the page. Sounds like it could be a missing tag or something! I’m using FF3 if that helps.
Thanks for the link love.
I will be more active on this blog this month, as I just noticed that this was a nice blog with good content
Gary@Make Money Blogging´s last blog ..How To Keep A Effective Posting Frequency Combined With Brilliant Consistency- Part 1 
That’s a very nice feature there. Most people are too ambitious about their PR and often don’t even allow dofollow links; Most of them don’t even care about their visitors especially after they reached a nice status on google.
Car News and Reviews´s last blog ..New Volvo S 60 first official photos
Phew, read a 100 blogs in a week?!!! My eyes will pop out if I do that.
Thank you so much for the link! I hadn’t noticed until I checked my trackbacks – was very busy last week. It is most appreciated.
