I’m not a fan of the big AdSense block that dominates the top of each article (and the homepage), but it may be working great for you like I know it is for others. For me, it just cheapens a site and puts it into the realm of squeeze-as-much-money-out-of-the-visitor-as-possible. Of course, I’m not the typical visitor either, though, so I may be in the vast minority.

The biggest thing, though, is that I would encourage you to just keep doing what you’re doing. Your content is great, and that’s a great niche to be in. Continue to set yourself apart with valuable content, and you’ll continue to attract readers.

I would either join and/or host a regular blog carnival, too. There are a ton of blogs in your niche who would participate, and the host always gets some great traffic and links.

I’ve certainly subscribed.

Any pointers for my site?

With regard to twitter/linking I guess see them as complementary and not competitive. I’m pursuing both strategies. Cheers!

I wonder if in time google will start looking at twitter and looking at the number of retweets a url gets and starting to factor this into things.

Similar to wikipedia, if a link has been on a page for some years then chances are its a good resource and deserves link juice.
Sphinn is another one, do we link to the sphinn thread? comment there or here? as for Diggbar dont get me started

More credit needs to go to the original source.

Tweeted and this will go into my weekly link building roundup
