Blatant self-pitypromotion

Forgot to mention here that I voice posted a short story over at Jeanie Writes Genre the other day. It's not very long, but the voice posting time limit forced me to break it in two. The first part is here, and the second is here.

Maybe if I keep pimping it in enough places, eventually somebody will give me some feedback.

Honorific

Jennifer at The Life of a School Bus Driver has chosen Sparkle Motion as today's Blog of the Day.

This is me, blushing.

Thanks, Jennifer.

Big Web Links

This post brought to you by .

Relying on search engines and web directories to promote and drive traffic to your site can be a tricky business. Often you have no control over where your site will rank in the search listing, as even paid listings are either robot generated or subject to variables such as user votes and number of backlinks. Big Web Links is a new directory that takes the guesswork out of ranking your listing by allowing you to bid for placement. You decide how much exposure you're willing to pay for, you place your bid, and listings are ranked according to bid amounts. If you want your site listed on the front page and it gets bumped, simply add more to your bid to bump it back up. Obviously, this requires a monetary investment to promote your site; but if you're running a commercial web site, or a blog that draws in revenue, this is definitely worth checking out.
