Perfcast Episode 7 – Performancing

In episode seven of Perfcast, David introduces us to his new website, BrandingDavid.com. We get a report of what David learned at WordCamp Toronto. We dive into the b5 Media Rate cuts and discuss its possible impact while also highlighting the article published by ReadWriteWeb pertaining to the what the 20 top tier bloggers income levels are. Last but not least, we discussed an article which I believe provides a good amount of food for thought and that is, what is the most important blog metric. The answer may surprise you. All that and more in this gobblygook packed episode of Perfcast.

BLOGGING CHALLENGE ENTRIES FROM THE PREVIOUS WEEK: David and I are both eligible for the FAIL blog as we both failed to accomplish the challenge. The bar was set pretty high but this week, the bar is even higher. (Be sure to thank David for that!)

BLOGGING CHALLENGE – Might be difficult with the way things are currently, but good bloggers are like great debaters. They should be able to take any side of an issue and see things from all angles. So this week, I’d like to see people post, in a positive way, about the economy making sure to integrate it into your normal topic.

The blogging challenge is provided as a means of challenging yourself with a specific duty each week. David and I will be participating in each challenge and will be highlighting various entries from the previous challenge.
