It’s that day of the week again. Today’s links were fairly easy to gather. There are a couple returning “featured” blogs, as well as a couple that we haven’t highlighted before.

Blogging Addiction has sponsored IndoContest’s first ever contest. We’re giving out 1337 entrecrards to Winner #4. There sure have a been a lot of contests going around lately. Although there will only be five winners over at IndoContest, the prizes for each winner are pretty significant.

If you’re looking to hold your own contest in the near future, we’ve got something hot off the press from John Cow. “John” is using his wife’s new blog as a case study to teach his readers how to run a successful contest. With the rampant number of contests out there (see above), you’ll want to learn out to set yours apart.

Who doesn’t need more traffic? Club Blogger has a couple excellent posts: Here are 10 Blog Traffic Tips and The Right Way to Get People Clamoring To Read Your Blog. Normally we only try to link to one post per blog each week, but both posts have some great information. Key point: write more flagship content.

With the 2008 Summer Olympics just around the corner, expect to see some period outbursts of ambush marketing. It’s safe to say that ambush marketing is one of the most humorous ways to do do viral marketing. Nobody sees it coming (if your ambush was stealthy).

Are you a link nazi? Hopefully that phrase doesn’t get us blacklisted, but Blogstorm points out that mainstream media is very strict about linking to externals sites online. There’s an interesting note that “that there is a strong correlation…between the number of times a site links out compared to the number of links it gets back in return.” I wonder if this applies to blogs as well?

That’s all of today’s link love. Just a fair warning: there should be a couple great posts this upcoming week. Do yourself a favor and subscribe to our RSS feed.
