SpeedLink 45/2011, SEO, Blogging Tips, Social Web and Black Friday

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great week and for those who celebrated, a wonderful thanksgiving. This weeks trending topic was undoubtedly Black Friday deals. Black Friday is one of those days that should not be missed, as massive discounts are made available by nearly everything you can think of. I almost like to call it as “bloggers” or “marketers” delight day 🙂 Anyway, I did make some investment myself on some products and services that I would not have probably done otherwise. How about you? Did you go crazy? There’s still some time left for a lot of things as most promotions expire only on Cyber Monday (28/11), which is also another one of those days.

Anyway, this weeks SpeedLink has a sneak preview of the future “format” I am thinking of using for the weekly roundups. It all depends on you to help me decide. See preview below and tell me which format you like best.

On a side note, I would like to take this opportunity to ask you for a favor. I am participating in Hesham’s Online Marketing Contest and I would appreciate it very much if you can head over there and leave your thoughts, to support my entry. Anything counts, comments, likes, +1s, the whole shebang 🙂 Thanks!
