Speedlinking – 31 Dec 2007

by derek on December 31, 2007 · 17 comments

It is hard to believe but the year 2007 will soon be a memory and I will be cursing myself for a few weeks as I continue to write “2007” on any personal checks.
Since starting this blog, I have really enjoyed this Speedlinking series and I hope that all of you have enjoyed it as well. Hopefully you have enjoyed a little link love while also having the opportunity to discover a few new blogs. With this final edition of Speedlinking 2007, I’d like to thank everyone for helping me build this blog and making this a great year.
It is very difficult to build a successful blog without the help of the entire community. One area that the community can really help your site is by directing traffic to your blog. I’d like to give a special thanks to the following sites that have referred the most traffic to this blog in December and all of 2007.
