		<description><![CDATA[ Today's post is a bit different from how we usually do things around here. Instead of a simple 10-item list, it's split into 5 pros and 5 cons. This fits quite nicely with the domino theme on the site. Let me know what you think of this format - there may be further posts like this in the future. For the last six weeks, I've been working for a web development agency in Central London. This is a far cry from my previous job, working for a software company in Australia, especially as I worked from home. Commuting into London, working in the city, and socialising in the area has effectively transformed me into a "London blogger". What are the pros and cons of being a London blogger? (The image in today's post is by Navona .) Pro #1: I can blog about things that happen in London. Working in a big city, there's a lot going on around you. People, places, events, conversations - plenty of things to inspire new posts. Pro #2: There...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Say you work for a brand. Customers have more access to you than ever - and you've got a wealth of choices as far as channels go: traditional marketing, online &#038; interactive, gaming, mobile, social media, etc. But for your customers that are interested in interacting online, what do you think they want from you? And what should you do when you connect with them? Look no further! eMarketer Daily has very helpfully published a piece on Lightspeed Research's " Global Web Index ." What do customer want from the brands they love? Information, mostly (well, after a good discount, anyway). Ultimately, they want value . They're not there to be "friends," or to get your time-wasting app - they want something that's relevant to them that helps push the relationship forward. Something to think about when thinking about your online strategy. Chart courtesy of eMarketer . Posted via web from The Full Monty ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ This post is part of the Friday Q&#038;A section. Just use the contact form if you want to submit a question. Busing asks: Are there more risks than benefits associated with swapping guest posts with competitor blogs? Could you find that regular readers call less often, having been directed away from your blog to one that actually better meets their needs? Is this more likely if your blog has a bigger following than the other blog? Overall the risk you are talking about is the one of having your own visitors stop visiting your blog after they discover the one of a &#8220;competitor&#8221; through a guest post you accepted. Is this a real risk? In my opinion, no, and for several reasons. First of all if your content is good (and it should be, else all other tactics will fail), your visitors will return no matter what. Even if all your posts contain links to other useful ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Here at Top Ten Blog Tips, I'm often suggesting ways to improve your blog. Today though, I'd like to look at how to ruin your blog. Perhaps you really want to stop blogging, or perhaps the post might point out some things to avoid. Today's post includes an image taken by MadAboutCows . (Moo!) 1. Only publish paid posts. OK. We get it. You want or need to make a bit of extra cash, so you're putting up a sponsored post every once in a while. No problem there. But there's definitely a problem if you only put up paid posts. I don't just mean blatant attempts to send people over to your affiliates - some blogs sneak a link into an otherwise innocent post. I don't know about you, but I can see these a mile off. They're a huge turn-off. 2. Put a really slow widget on it. Installing loads of widgets is bad enough, but it only takes one widget to stop your site from loading fully. Always test your site after adding a widget, or you're going to have a fun time ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Well, it's finally here. Twitter and LinkedIn have decided to combine forces. This is pretty significant, and I know that it'll make it easier to share job opportunities and other more networking opportunities that are more professional in nature. I won't bore you with all of the details, but you can now update your LinkedIn status via Twitter, and your Twitter status from LinkedIn. If you'd like to see how to go about it, check out the post on the LinkedIn blog . One of the features I like best is how you can select which updates you want posted to LinkedIn - everything or just those posts tagged with #in. In December of 2008, I predicted that Twitter would attain legitimacy in 2009. Aside from it being used by pretty much every major media outlet, not to mention a good number of celebrities, I think we're there. The fact that a site as grounded ...]]></description>
