Five Favorite Stumbles of the Week, Vol. 2

My stumbling took me to a variety of interesting places this week:

1. At SlyVisions.com, writer Sly Blanco offers 30 Tips for Exploding Your Site Traffic. Nothing revolutionary here, but plenty of good reminders of simple things you can do to attract more visitors to your website.
2. Sometime we get so caught up in crafting the message that we ignore the mechanics of good writing. The folks at Precise Writing list 10 Overused Words in Writing. While not grammatically incorrect, they are commonly used. With just a little attention, omitting the words and finding a better way to say the same thing can make a powerful difference.
3. I’m often called on to make comments in public places. While technically not a speech, I do like to have an outline in my mind for what I’m about to say. Speakweek offers s simple formula with The Three Parts of a Great Five-Minute Speech.
4. Viral marketing is a great, inexpensive way to get your product or service noticed. But how to go about generatng that buzz? Dan Zarella, who bills himself as a “social and viral marketing scientist” offers his Viral Marketing Campaign Checklist.
5. Here’s one whose only purpose is to bring a smile to your face. Enjoy!

Happy Stumbling.
