Link love (Powered by gelato and touchscreens)

Google seems to have turned on quite a few blogs lately – which just goes to show the importance of fostering engagement and building a loyal community of readers. At work, we’re adopting a similar philosophy – less focus on SEO, which ultimately is out of your control, and more on delivering quality.

When some time ago, I went back and ensured that as many images on this blog as possible were appropriately attributed and sourced from Creative Commons, I definitely lost some search traffic. And that’s fine with me. Search engine visitors love ya and leave ya.

Anyway, thank goodness it’s Saturday! I really needed the breathing room – this week has been overwhelming. I know half the battle is mental, so I’ve been trying to adjust my attitude, which seemed to be a popular theme this week. Behold:

    Thanks for the link!

    Soooo…NOW what with Google? I use a ton of Wikipedia images, as long as they either have a Creative Commons license or are in the public domain. I do acknowledge them, but at the bottom of the post.

    Hmmmmmm…..why do i think this is prob’ly not the tradition to which Google wishes to adhere? What exactly is Google’s present fetish?

    What flavor of gelato powered this link love?

    I’m a big fan of pistachio myself. Mmmmm! I guess it’s almost summer for you down in NZ so its perfect gelato season.
