• The Best of Copyblogger in 2007

  It’s time for the ubiquitous “best of 2007″ lists, so why not one for Copyblogger? I’ll go ahead and do a round-up of the year’s best-received posts, with a bit of commentary on what was notable from each month. So, if you missed anything from 2007, here’s a second shot at it. While you do that, I’ll have time to figure out what to write for next year (don’t worry, I’ve already got a pretty good idea).

• Ding Dong, Digg is Dead

  At least for Copyblogger, that is. It’s been a good run. From last fall, I’ve grown this blog from 6,000 subscribers to close to 29,000. My strategy for 2007 relied on appealing to social media news and bookmarking sites, plus the goodwill of bloggers around the world who thought my content was worth mentioning. Digg certainly played a part in that. Mostly, landing on the Digg front page a couple times a month resulted only in a server.

• Copywriting Maven’s Landing Page Makeover Clinic #9: The Four Ps of Podcasting

  Today’s makeover is for Scott Whitney’s Four Ps of Podcasting CD. When he first contacted me in October his site was live only a short time, but having taken a fresh look, there’s still a lot that Scott could be doing to pop conversions. He uses a series of landing pages - smart - each one keyed to one search phrase - even smarter - so he’s definitely on the right track. But he still wasn’t selling near enough CDs.

• Why I Won’t Buy Seth Godin’s Meatball Sundae

  Well, I guess it had to happen sooner or later. For the first time, Seth Godin is releasing a new book, and I won’t be buying it. You’d think that a shameless Seth fanboy like me wouldn’t be able to pass up the purchase. But it’s not happening this time. Why? Because for the first time, I got a free advance review copy. I guess being a shameless fanboy has its perks, so I’ll go ahead and share my impressions of the book with you.

• Cosmopolitan Link Karma

  Two weeks ago I wrote a post about how re-purposing headlines from the magazine Cosmopolitan can help you come up with ideas for blog posts and articles. I invited readers to try it for themselves, and plenty did. So, let’s take a look at what people came up with. The really cool part is that several readers let me know that the articles they wrote using this technique brought in tons of traffic.

• Master Your Muse and Multiply Your Blogging Effectiveness

  Silence. It’s frightening for a writer. Not real silence, of course, but the eerie quiet inside your head, the mysterious absence of words. You think and think and think, but it’s like turning on a light switch when the lightbulb is blown. Nothing happens, no matter how hard you try. It makes you feel… powerless. Sure, it’s your mind, your thoughts, your words, but you’re not completely in charge of them.

• If Content is the New Advertising, What Does Your Advertising Say About You?

  So, why do we publish all this online content, anyway? See if this sounds right: · You need to attract attention and make people aware of who you are and what you do. · You then need to transform that attention into revenue or some other measurable benefit. Sounds like what advertising is supposed to do, but doesn’t do so well anymore. The plain truth is, great content is the most effective way to advertise online.
