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.
Before I drop the goods on everyone this week I wanted to let everyone know that I started a new weekly series that you might have missed when I kicked it off yesterday, check out Extreme John’s Weekly Link Dump and let me know what you think.

@Lee Ka Hoong, sorry John for double comments. I just realized that you link my blog with WWW, do you mind to make it without WWW?
Thanks a lot john!
Lee Ka Hoong@Make Money Online´s last blog ..Huzzer Blog Commenting Contest Win Up To $600!
@Lee Ka Hoong@Make Money Online,
Whats wrong with WWW? It automatically goes to without WWW. But I think it should be the other way around. If the link doesn’t have www then it should point to your site with www.
ZXT´s last blog ..My blog is 2 months old!
@ZXT, I think that would be different when it comes to backlinks. If the link points to URL with WWW, then my url that without WWW will not get the benefit of the backlinks.
Correct me if I’m wrong.
Lee Ka Hoong@Make Money Online´s last blog ..Huzzer Blog Commenting Contest Win Up To $600!
@Lee Ka Hoong@Make Money Online, no problem I will get in there and change it up for ya.
@Extreme John, thanks a lot John I appreciate it! It’s morning in US now, and it’s night in my country now, going to bed soon.
Once again, thanks John!
Lee Ka Hoong@Make Money Online´s last blog ..Huzzer Blog Commenting Contest Win Up To $600!
@Lee Ka Hoong@Make Money Online,
I must admit my knowledge is limited but one thing I am sure of, our blog should have only one url (with or without the www), and in your case I think it okay because if the backlink has www, it will automatically change it to without www.
In most cases, type a blog url without www and it will automatically adds www.
Pretty much the same if you ask me.
ZXT´s last blog ..My blog is 2 months old!
@ZXT, yes ZXT, the link will redirect WWW to without WWW, but I’m concern about the backlink, in term of search engine ranking. It doesn’t count as a backlink if it points to URL with WWW (but my URL is without WWW), so the link juice goes to URL with WWW.
Correct me again if I’m wrong.
How do you think John?

Some great posts you have linked here. I missed out many. Let me have a look at them :smile:
Ricky´s last blog ..Firefox 3.6 Beta1 Ready For Download
Once again great Sunday round up. I’ll need at least an hour to go through all of these stuff.
ZXT´s last blog ..My blog is 2 months old!
@ZXT, don’t waste away too much of your Sunday ;)
Some really nice articles list. Great to see myself contributing 13 comments in this week.
Typhoon´s last blog ..Happy PageRank Day ;)
@Typhoon, yeah man you were super active this week thank you!
@Extreme John, No Problem
Even this month, will try being active here 
Typhoon´s last blog ..Bloggers With Authority Are Made For Success
Thanks as always for the awesome links, especially the SEO stuff which I have learned so much from…it’s kinda like “extremejohn university” here
@Alan @ Glass Pipes, haha well thank you all though I really can’t take credit since al of these well thought out articles are by real bloggers with real skills and focus for SEO. I just dabble ;)
I can’t help noticing that every few days or weeks a new word or phrase gets to be added to the world-wide web dictionary, e.g. ‘Sunday Smash’, ‘Weekly Link Dump’, etc.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the phrase ‘Extreme John’ gets to become a household word one day.
This kind of post (with the links to other posts) actually made me realize that the most recent article is not just the article posted for the day. I sort of got used to my blog where I can only post 1 article in a lucky day (or more like 4 articles in a month), me being yet far from becoming a prolific writer like John. Yes, I see that there are a lot of other posts here that I have yet to read. Hmmmm….
James Moralde´s last blog ..First Step Up Google’s PR Ladder
@James Moralde, you know James I was laying in bed thinking the other day and honestly there are no Ceilings with blogging, if you really try regardless of how little or how much you might write there is always the opp for a new post topic. New or old ;)
A great roundup of articles..really liked the cool findings…
Compute Live´s last blog ..Airtel introduces 1 second billing plan

@Millionaire Acts, my pleasure.
Cool bro. Thanks for the mention. I’m trying to comment here again because I do not know what happened to my comment on “Best Post” plugin. Anyway, as I try to say there, very clean theme you are using. I though you were going to use Thesis.
DiTesco´s last blog ..Website Keyword Discovery Tool
@DiTesco, I am using Thesis
Thanks for pointing the way, John. Great list of resources as usual. I can’t wait to find out what Google knows about me!
Keith@Norman Rockwell Art´s last blog ..Oct 26, Norman Rockwell Museum: Making Vacations Memorable
Oh, John.
The comment looks strange -after you post a comment, the comment doesn’t actually appear, but the new commenter (my name) appears in between the name and comment of thye comment posted right above.
BUT, I just came back here and it renders correctly when reloaded on the page. It just doesn’t look right after you comment.
Just thought you would want to be aware of that little bug.
Keith@Norman Rockwell Art´s last blog ..Oct 26, Norman Rockwell Museum: Making Vacations Memorable
@Keith@Norman Rockwell Art, I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. Mike from Daily Shot of Coffee was saying something about that earlier, good times…
@Keith@Norman Rockwell Art,
Same here Keith. I thought my comment didn’t go through. I can see my name but not my comment and it looks like my comment was replaced by another comment from another person.
ZXT´s last blog ..Sunday’s Babe of the Week
again , i love whey you are sharing about UFC and girl in your blog. i hope can get more from you…
EarningStep´s last blog ..Now you can make money with myblog2day – new and simple affiliate program
Thanks for the luv John. Gee mate, it looks like I spend more time here than I do on my own blog. Any chance of sharing some of the profits?
Sire@WassupBlog´s last blog ..How To Turn Off The Internet On The iPhone
Checking in late as usual John. Thank you for including my personal blog. I agree with James Moralde, ‘Extreme John’ is already a household word around here ;)
Brian D. Hawkins´s last blog ..Interview With Toilets.com Founder Earl Braxton – The Don of Porta John®
Very nice post. I thought to let you know that you website isn’t getting displayed properly on thunderhawk browser on my mobile phone.
I hope that more and more number of webmasters would deliberate upon the fact that there is an ever growing number of users browsing webpages on the mobile.
Best Wishes
Hey there all i know you’ve all probably heard this already but check out google for all the scandal thats been going around about her lately
basically she first claimed that the tape was for a boyfrind in highschool at which time she begged him to tell the media she was 17 at the time. This morning on tmz they talked about a voice interview where the man who had the video insists that she was 20 at the time.
You can check out the newest tmz story and pictures here. http://photos.tmz.com/galleries/carrie_prejean_san_diego_romp#55556
So i know theres a lot of bullshit going around on the internet but i finally found the actual video. SO CHECK IT OUT SHES HOT AS HELL but all in all just another homeade sex video. The link is http://tinyurl.com/ye95zu7
Now I know why they call you Extreme John – you are extremely cool! I started to scan your list for one or two articles to check out, but dang it if I don’t want to check them all out. Yikes!
I find myself wondering if I should go with a general social sharing button or specific buttons for my favorite sharing sites (Twitter, Facebook, BlogEngage). I hate to be redundant, nor do I want to slow my site down any more than I already have. Wishing you a good week!
