Happy Friday everyone!
I am preparing a new blog post and before I get that published I wanted to provide a couple of updates about things that are going on with my blogs.
Last week I posted about some blog related domain names that I have for sale. I have been offered $250 for BlogFluence.com and $100 for DoFollowMovement, no offers for TweetMyPost.com or OpinionatedBlogger.
What do you guys think, should I take the money or hold out for better offers?
At the top of the month I wrote a post about the benefits of blog commenting on this blog and mentioned that I would be offering a free month of advertising to the top commentator. So far Doug is running away with. There are still 4 days left to get your comments in.
Yesterday, I wrote about some great blog contests going on at some other blogs but forgot to mention the blog contest going on at one of my other blogs ; Daily Blog Contest . There are 4 days left to enter for your chance to win 37,000 Entrecard credits. These credits are more valuable then ever now that Entrecard has cut the amount of credits you can earn in half. Here is a direct link to enter the Entrecard Blog Contest
I need your help for this new post I am writing. I have not written about Twitter in a while and I have found myself not as hooked as I once was and I am wondering why this is. There are some things that I think Twitter should change to enhance the user experience. I want your input…Please let me know what the number 1 thing you would change on Twitter. I just sent out a tweet and asked my followers to chime in. I am excited to see the responses and will compile them in the post along with my number 1 thing that I think Twitter should change. So what do you think? Hit me up on Twitter.com/TycoonBlogger
I big thank you to all the visitors and people who take time to provide meaningful comments on my blog. My traffic has been growing steadily as are the number and quality of comments. I wanted to take some time out and recognize some of my “blogging buddies” for their activity in the month of June.
Top Commenters for June
Top EntreCard Droppers for June
Top Twitter Buddies for June (these are the people who retweeted my tweets most often)
In case you were wondering how I knew who the top retweeters were, there is a cool new site that will tell you. Check out Retweetist.com and just enter your username and it will give you retweet stats for the past 30 days.
Thanks again!!
It is hard to believe that I am writing post # 99 and already 4 months into this blog. I am in the middle of creating a special one hundredth post for tomorrow that will highlight the best blog posts so far. I figured in this post, I would talk about the progress of this blog up until now.
Over all, I am very pleased at how this blog is coming along and am motivated to keeping with it. Don’t forget to check back in tomorrow to check out the 100th post.
I attempted to contact the designer and other members in the support forum and was willing to pay someone to help adjust the width for me, but my messages in the forums went unanswered. So, I decided to change (more…)

Blog Contest
I am having a great day. I always enjoy when Google updates their Page Rank. It is an event that happens only four times a year and most webmasters and blogmasters wait with great anticipation to see if their site went up or down. As you know, Google’s page rank is a numerical grade from 1-10 that google uses to determine how important your site is. I am happy to report that Tycoon Blogger has gone from pr0 to pr3 in a little over 6 weeks. I guess the tips and posts I have been writing about how to promote your blog really work. OK, I will get off my high horse now. I really want to thank the blog owners that have helped me along, especially those that included me in their blog roll when I had nothing to offer and for the blog owners that allowed me to guest post on their more established blogs. It is in this vain that I would like to announce that I am open to link exchanges with other bloggers in this blogging niche. Write me a comment below or send me a message through the comment form. I am a big believer that to be truly successful in blogging or business in general it takes people helping people.
I also wanted to let you know that my Blog Directory got bumped up to PR3 too. Go ahead and submit your blog now for free.
