Lee Odden's Feed n Read list

In a brilliant example of win/win, Lee Odden has shared his OPML file for the 250 Must Read Blogs in the SEM space. Thanks for including me on the list Lee! As you may have noticed, I'm trying to be more diligent about posting this year (New Year's Resolutions and all) so hopefully I can persuade you to remove the comment "posts about search marketing from time to time".

But consider the win/win aspects of this:

Lee helps the community by sharing a great resource.
Those included on the list share the love by posting a link on their own blogs back to Lee's post
Lee suddenly gets hundreds of links from the best blogs in the business
Lee's authority goes up
Everybody wins!

For anyone looking at blog promotion, link baiting or just in how to align the online planets in your favor in general, this is a textbook example!

Hey Gord, I like the updated design! Am glad to read about your resolution and will have to update the description of this blog on our list.

Cheers!

# Lee's list as a search engine

by Alister Cameron, Blog Consultant at 1/9/2007 10:27 PM

Hi Gord. I took Lee's list and created a Google-powered search engine out of it. Initially, for my own purposes but then I realised it probably had value to others:

I will be keeping the list of indexed sites up-to-date with Lee's list. The cool thing, from my point of view, and the reason I created this, is that the RSS feeds are blog-only content, yet these blogs are often components of wesites that have a lot more good stuff on them and I wanted to be able to search "it all" in one hit.

Hence the "Search Engine Marketing Search Engine"!
