Mike’s ramblings

I usually don’t like Mashable’s lists too much, but this one seems to be a perfect fit for me. They assembled the top 10 eBooks that help you get started with your blog in terms of search engine optimization, monetization and gaining traffic in general. I will dig through them and follow up with a post that recapitulates the essence of all these eBooks.

Here is the list:

• Authority Black Book
• Beginner’s Guide to Search Engine Optimization
• BlogBash: Deep Secrets of Successful Blogging - learn from 30 experts
• Blog Profits Blueprint
• Dive Into Web 2.0
• Handbook for Bloggers and Cyber Dissidents
• Make Money Online with John Chow dot Com
• Unleashing the Idea Virus
• Web Style Guide
• Who’s there

As Mashable and Techcrunch report, YouTube had a page up which showed a new embeddable player with ads around it. They have since pulled the page and you are redirected to your account page (or the start page if you’re not a registered user). It seems as if this was not meant to be public just yet. Hopefully we’ll see this come soon, it might be a big chance to make some additional revenue for many people.
