A lot of the info he has in it I'd rather have on the sidebar. @Ellen: I imagine a lot of people use a plugin which sends out the same e-mail to all new commenters. I'm not a big fan of that. If a new person comes along and totally wows me with a reply I'll take the time to put together a personal e-mail to them. @Malin: Those advertisers on PPP looking for blogs with Alexa that low are dreaming :P

Don't know about the first one though.. I've received a couple of those (unpersonal, standard) emails from sites I visited. They more turn me off than encourage me to visit again.. But hey, maybe that's just me.. Great tips, thanks Mike!

Now I only have to take my Alexa ranking down to 10,000 (for getting better opps at PPP) :P I have already done a few of those tips as he/they are mentioning before they did the series, but they are good tips, no doubt.

I'll be sticking around. ;) Yes, that series is quite interesting indeed. His new design has also made my inner designer do a little jig thinking I should rethink how my blog's design. Speaking of "jigs", you might find this <a href="http://www.meandmydrum.com/gummy-footage-found-in-archives/">interesting</a>. :D Yeah, I think you’re cool. I’ll be sticking around. ;)
