The SiteMost blog has been a bit quiet lately although that doesn’t mean we’ve been quiet – in fact we’ve been doing things all over the internet, just not on the blog here.

Just read an interesting post on Ben Wilks’ Blog about SEO and Social Media.
Basically Ben comments on a thread over at WMW which indicates that social media is a waste of time and doesn’t yield a great deal of SEO value.

A few weeks ago the Problogger community reviewed the SiteMost blog.
Plenty of great suggestions and advice were provided by the community, so as my New Years Resolution, I’ll be making many changes and improvements to this blog over the coming weeks.

Recently, Darren from ProBlogger started a Community Blog Consulting project where he gets his 37,000+ subscribers to constructively critique a blog. Many of these subscribers have successful blogs of their own (spanning countless industries) so when the consulting project was launched, I jumped at the opportunity to have the SiteMost blog reviewed.
