			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I installed the <strong>BlogRush blog traffic widget</strong> after reading about it 2 weeks ago before it even launched. The idea did not appeal to me at first. I thought it was just another ancient MLM Traffic Exchange resurrected for the Blogosphere. Just great. A perfect Blog spam nightmare was about to happen.</p>
<p>Upon its release <strong><a href="http://tinyurl.com/2xfud5" title="blogrush homepage">BlogRush</a></strong> generated quite a stampede, not just a rush. I refrained from joining the pack for as long as I could. Eventually,  curiosity got the better of this cat and I installed it here on Marlamar.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been pretty busy the past couple of days so I did not have a chance to check my stats in Wordpress. When I did, I wondered what the devil happened. Did I get hit by Spam bots or something? Mysteriously, no. Puzzled, I returned to the front page of the site and went..</p>
<p>OOhh. BlogRush! Suddenly I was feelin da rush. Of traffic, that is. And I made the following discoveries too.</p>
<p align="left"> &#8211; I&#8217;ve seen some pretty interesting stuff, and discovered new Blogs I might not have seen other wise. That&#8217;s pretty cool. The tool works for blog socializing, traffic and potential backlinks. Niccee.</p>
<p>- The Spammy Bloggers never quit. A pretty long email from John Reece, developer of BlogRush on the subject &#8216;<a href="http://www.income.com/blog/2007/09/25/shocking-changes-at-blogrush/" title="read shocking changes at blogrush"><strong><em>Shocking Changes At BlogRush</em></strong></a>&#8216; reminded me of my early fears of how the Spammers would be using this tool. And sure enough, he made some pretty strong statements in that regard.</p>
<p>- This widget delivers on its promises after all. Interestingly, it tells me something about the subjects that persons are interested in too. I installed the widget on another Blog and have not received half the visits as I&#8217;ve already gotten here. Naturally, it prompted me to get over here as quickly as possible. So Blogrush gets an A for inspiring a new post. An increase in Blog Traffic is absolutely motivating.</p>
<p>BlogRush should do even better in the future, once Reece sorts out the present start-up snags that they are experiencing right now. If you haven&#8217;t already done so. Go <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2xfud5" title="sign up for BlogRush">sign up right now</a> and get your own BlogRush Flavour. When you get there you&#8217;ll know what that is.</p>
<p>Share the fun,<br />
Marlamar</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.congoo.com/Marviainsights" title="congoo news beta">Congoo News services</a></strong> beta version is out and it is definitely worth trying. This service is the latest news portal, that allows you to customize news from various news providers.</p>
<p>An exciting feature of Congoo is <strong>Netpass</strong> which gives you limited access to top media houses such as Time, BBC, Britannica, AP, Reuters just to name a few.</p>
<p>Plus, it seamlessly fits into your blog or website. You can see it installed in my right side-bar. Of course anyone with a drop more creativity in their bones than I have will no doubt find some interesting places to put their little news box.</p>
<p>I like it because it is also a <strong>social bookmarking news service</strong>, that allows you to develop a circle of friends. You and your friends can make comments on a personally configrued news page. You also have the option of installing a <strong>Congoo toolbar </strong>(compatible with Firefox) which also provides search results, interestingly from Yahoo alone. Well that aside, it is still worth trying.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.congoo.com/Marviainsights" title="congoo news services">Check out Congoo here.</a></p>
<p>** September Update &#8211; Now Congoo offers FREE Professional Business Profiles that allows you to connect with professionals in various fields. A most useful way to spread the word about your services and also to find new resources and contactsÂ  for your business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <strong>2007 Authority Black Book</strong>, a must have <strong>Bloggers&#8217; resource</strong> is the kind of thing that comes along every once in a Blue Moon that delivers such a blow, people are afraid to talk about it.</p>
<p>I have been truly surprised that some of the persons who usually send me information have not sent me a single note telling me about this amazing <strong>Blog marketing</strong> resource book. <a href="http://www.jackhumphrey.com/fridaytrafficreport/category/website-promotion/social-networking/" title="Jack Humphrey-Friday Traffic Report">Thanks Jack</a> for remembering me.</p>
<p><strong>Silence in the Internet Marketing Industry</strong><br />
The book &#8211; more like a manual really, has raised the bar for FREE information providers and so-called Gurus. Its been a long time since I downloaded a Free PDFs online and opened it more than once.</p>
<p>First time I scanned the entire book, I got a headache..ouch! I&#8217;m not kidding you. When I saw the amount, and kind, of REAL &#8211; just plain real, factual information and the actual  step by step &#8211; where to go, what to do I simply could not believe that anyone could take the time to provide this for FREE. *Yes, I know. I heard that line before too. I just don&#8217;t sell it &#8211; I can only do this for the real deal.</p>
<p>So I repeat myself&#8230;sorry, can&#8217;t help it. The bar has been raised. Anyone else with any credibility will have to come better. People are truly tired of being fed a lot of useless junk &#8211; just because it&#8217;s free. Although, in a way this authority resource also tells us again of the value of research &#8211; do your homework. Thus you will be able to recognize quality when it comes.</p>
<p>It is therefore a genuine pleasure to pass this book on to you FREE of cost as well.  This is the best <strong>complete resource on Blogging</strong> you will ever need. It is an extensive manual for beginners and <strong>pro Bloggers</strong>. Trust me, it makes even a Pro feel like she never really started. So put aside the pride &#8211; get your copy. I won&#8217;t tell but I know you will <img src='http://marlamar.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  See there is no way you can get this and keep it to yourself unless you are absolutely mean!</p>
<p align="center">Click image to download your free copy.</p>
<p><!--Begin---><a href="http://contentdesk.com/cmd.php?Clk=1910039" title="2007 Authority Blackbook"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://contentdesk.com/cmd.php?Clk=1910039" title="2007 Authority Blackbook"><img src="http://authorityblackbook.com/authority_blackbook2.gif" alt="Authority Black Book" border="0" height="250" width="250" /></a></p>
<p>Now after you have read it twice with your mouth open, you are allowed that many gawks. Quit gawking, roll up your sleeve and get to work.</p>
<p>To your success,<br />
Marlamar<br />
