100 Top European Marketing Blogs
Mac
The yearly AdvertisingAge list of the 150 top marketing and advertising blogs came out a few weeks ago.
This blog is not on the list. The original list was mainly American blogs. Sure, I’m American, but I live in France so I made a list of the top 100 European Blogs. This list is a couple days old as I hit publish, and the list changes as each site changes in their PR, Alexa or Technorati rank. The ranking will change.

Asking For A Stumble
MacHere is an easy way to ask for a stumble by email or on a post.
I just published a blog carnival for a client and sent an email to each person that was published. I told everyone that that the carnival was published and I asked that they stumble the post for more exposure.
Using this type link: Asking For A Stumble opens a StumbleUpon window which looks like the image below (if the user is logged in).
Here is the format in case you want to reuse it:
http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://cheapkeywords.info/asking-for-a-stumble/&title=Asking%20For%20A%20Stumble
In case you don’t know:
the 1st part: (http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=) is the SU site.
the 2nd part: (http://cheapkeywords.info/asking-for-a-stumble) is your link.
the 3rd part: (&title=Asking%20For%20A%20Stumble) is the title you associate with your URL.
Stumble if you will. Use the link if you like.

WordPress Translation Plugin
MacI use a widget that translates a website into any of the 24 languages that Google supports.
Just today made it was into a WordPress plugin that is free to install at http://getinternationalclients.com/translation-plugin/.
Once installed and activated it appears as an option in the widget panel so you can add it to your sidebar where you wish.
From the Get International Clients site:
“The GIC Translator is a free WordPress Plugin which automatically translates the present page your reader is viewing. This plugin is not intrusive, makes no changes to your site and opens a new translated window. This means your readers will stay on your website while they read your content in their own language and not somewhere else. All your foreign visitor has to do is click on a flag that they will recognize as associated with their language.
Easy Cross-Cultural Communication
The plugin uses the Google online translation service and translates from any of 24 languages (Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese (both traditional and simplified), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish) into any of the 24.
This installs like any other plugin, and takes advantage of the multiple sidebars that are common now in WordPress. Once installed and activated you go to the widgets section of the design. You decide where the most appropriate place to place is to install your plugin.
For sites not using WordPress, a script is available at Your Free Cross-Cultural Communication Tool - A Translation Widget that can be used on any website.”

WordPress Automatic Upgrade
MacI just tried wordpress-automatic-upgrade.1.2.1 to upgrade CheapKeywords from WP2.5 to WP2.6. I suppose you can say that it worked because here I am, logged in a posting. The really odd thing is that I can’t sign in with the same login/password when using firefox. Opera, on the other hand, works wonderfully.
Here are some of the other plugins I am using right now.

Better Comments manager allows you to view your comments post wise and to reply to your comments from within admin panel without you having to visit the site to respond to comments .

More Places to Submit Your Blog
MacThis is a continuation of yesterdays list. Places to submit your RSS feeds. I was really shocked when I started to do this because I easily found lists with places to submit, but most don’t work. There are loads of pages with nothing but advertisements. Darn shame, people couldn’t make a go of a legit service and turned to tricking people to their sites.
BlogIntro PR 2
BlogsByCategory PR 5 asks for backlink but not required
devASP PR 2 for developers - works, but I did not submit
BlogBurst PR 6
BlogTopList PR 6 requires
