Stuntdubl Search Marketing Consulting Best Posts Roundup
One of the main reasons I started this site was to have a point of reference
for things, and my own sort of public bookmarks for discussion. I often go back
through and read some of the posts, and several I reference more often than
others. I thought I’d do a list of my favorite posts that took the longest time,
and hopefully came away with some of the best information available here. I’m
a big fan of meta-aggregation. So here’s your one bookmark for the SD gold when
you have time to sit down and dig in. Link donations are welcomed:)

[...] With so many different types of posts (news, humor, call-to-action, resource, etc.), it’s really important to showcase the more timeless authority posts. It can be done manually, or I’m sure there are a few plugins for user favorite posts. I like the manual route myself, as I think it offers a nice level of editorial control.

What I should have is “best SEO posts” page like Todd does. Highlighting my best posts and encouraging people to subscribe to my blog or contact me as a consultant. Taking it one step further I should have made it possible to see not only what ad got me the most click-throughs but got me the most blog subscribers or consulting inquiries (conversions). [...]
