Speedlinking - Roll Of The Dice

In the spirit of being in Las Vegas where you never know what a roll of the dice is going to give you, this edition of Speedlinking includes a variety of interesting information.

1. Andrea, who you may have seen commenting here, has started a brand new blog at According to Andrea. With three posts under her belt so far, things are starting to shape up nicely as she learns the ropes of blogging. Please stop by and share a few comments for Andrea!

2. Leo Babauta recently wrote a letter to his three-year-old son about starting out in life. While this letter may be to Leo’s son, there are quite a few points that are important for everyone to remember.

3. Are you using HitTail on your blog? Being a big fan of HitTail and analyzing the long tail keyword results for my blogs, I thoroughly enjoyed this piece on how to use HitTail suggestions. If you’re not using this service now, I highly recommend you check it out.

4. Michael Kwan, who many of us know is living the Dot Com lifestyle as a freelance writer, recently shared his thoughts on how to make passive income as a freelancer. If you’re embarking on your own freelance writing career, be sure to keep these tips in mind.

5. Now that you have satisfied Google’s requirement for a privacy policy, you might want to do some testing with your AdSense ads. Darren Rowse explains how to split test your AdSense ads to help you understand which ads work the best for your site.

Now, while you take some time to read through these valuable resources, I have another roll of the dice to make here in Las Vegas!

You can roll the dice, but you better make we get all the spicy details when you came back. We don’t want what happens in Vegas to stay there. :)

I have read before about “how to split test your AdSense ads” but never tried it. I am reading the rest now and Andrea has a nice blog.

I read the article. Already putting it to practice since I started adsense. That’s the only way to know which is the ads that visitor will click.
