Empowering Search Vol. 2

Welcome to the second edition of my curated/round up post series, where I feature and share the mind-blowing articles I’ve personally read this past few weeks/this month.

To start off, I first want to thank Goran of Black Hat Source for interviewing me, which you can all read here – Interview with Jason Acidre. Next, uhm, there’s no other news actually, I was just busy recently in working (testing the new version of Traffic Travis that you should definitely check out this coming May), more work, conceptualizing future posts and writing good content.

Speaking of writing good content, I’ve published 2 blog entries these past two weeks that were well appreciated by other bloggers and online marketers and have received a lot of positive response – getting editorial links and buying links ethically – and I’m glad that both of them (and 1 older post) made it to Ontolo’s Citation Labs – Link Building Resources.

Garrett French – One of the Elite Link Building Experts that I look up to just boosted my morale

So I guess what’s next is to take this opportunity to thank all those who have linked to it and have shared it to their followers. Let’s get down to the list:
