I just discovered a little tool from Yahoo Site Explorer. It’s a little badge that you can add to your web site and see how many other web sites are linking to you. (Indexed via yahoo, of course).

See my badge on the sidebar.

Basically you have two options:

1 - Track the number of links to the Page on which the badge is placed .

2 - Select the size of badge you would like to place on your web site.

If you want this badge for your web site, follow this link : Yahoo Site Explorer and select one of the two options and then pick up the code and paste it into your page of choice.

There are some great news for bloggers.

A new web site has been launched and it is called Blogg-Buzz, a web site similar to Digg.com, except no one will be banning bloggers who’ll be promoting their own stories.

This web site is exclusively for bloggers, so feel free to go there and promote your blog.

If you regularly visit Digg.com, you probably know by now that if you promote your own story, it’ll marked as spam and your web site will even be banned.

Example : JohnChow.com and PaulStamatiou.com .

Nothing like that will be happening here, unless you’re really spamming.

Now you’ve got an alternative to get your blog known.

The two people who worked on it, John and Shiva and few others who contributed to it for the past month will be happy to see you there and I am one of those people.

Hope to see you there.

For more info, visit John’s blog or simply go to Blogg-Buzz

Quick update :
I just change my title tag from displaying first my blog’s name and then the entry’s title to entry title and then blog’s name.

Sweet!

Here is the first tip.

Use short URL for your blog instead of a long one. You’ll do better in search engines.

As you know, yesterday I changed the settings on my permanent links from /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ to a custom structure url + /%postname%/ .

The reason I did it was simple. I want my web site to do better in search engines and the long url didn’t do any good. In fact it is too long for a search engine.
