Between being really busy lately with our indoor tanning salon business and working on some new things for our limousine business Insane Limos I really haven’t had the creative energy to get on here and post much, having six extra hours in the day might help. Anyway, each week I like to post a collection of Do Follow link juice filled backlinks to excellent blogging tips and social networking information that came through my Feedly rss feed reader.
In addition to posting links to my favorite blogging tips for newbies and bloggers I also use my weekly series to thank a few of my top contributors that were nice enough to leave a comment here on my blog, I also post the top referring blogs and search engine tips.
This week’s edition of the Sunday Smash is another Sunday Smash on Monday post instead of the typical Sunday post, I took most of the day Sunday to play Mega Touch, watch football and relax with the family. I hope you enjoyed your Sunday as much as I enjoyed mine.
This week’s Sunday Smash on Monday was put together from 75 Do Follow blogs and 116 blog posts that I read through after sifting out the blog posts that didn’t interest me.

As always, great collection of blogging tips. you’re almost like the Reader’s Digest of blogging. I can skip to the Smash and get what I need, all on your recommendation. Thanks John.
By the way, I have to assume that I did not win the contest last month. Will the winner be announced or did I just miss it?

@Keith@Norman Rockwell Art, did you have to use Readers Digest as a comparison? haha
It’s a good way for me to share what I am reading and learning with others that might be interested in the same topics, it’s also a nice way of showing props to the bloggers that write the content I enjoy reading.

Wow I wanted that damn TOP referrer spot and Got it COOL. For some reason I have been having some awesome things happen to me lately. I hope it’s Never one of those jinx patterns where I’m up and you down and vice versa. I remember when my blog was down for a week and I had to watch yours blowing up LOL
BUT even more important is the way people have been working together man it’s really starting to have an effect on me, my blog,attitude all that. Of course I still blow a gasket over little things but I get away from letting it hold me back faster and faster. Glad your posting man

Just for the record, I wasn’t making fun of your blog when I was talking about blogs that do round ups for two posts!
Also, if you played less Mega Touch and let other people have some records, you’d have more time to blog.

I set up my RSS reader, but keep forgetting to go check it out. It’s a good thing I still get your blog through email or I’d miss great things here, too. Not that I don’t just pop in on occasion anyway. Organization is on my to do list this year [notice I didn't say 'better' organization].
