Carlo Selorio. I love this picture. Look at that check!
I was interviewed by Carlo Selorio for his blog Carlo Selorio’s Internet Entrepreneur’s Journey as a part of his Expert Interview Series.
Carlo is doing a very smart thing, here. By interviewing people and putting those interviews on a page, he’s creating a linkable resource for others, which will give him traffic and, eventually, a bit of PageRank. He’s got more interviews to come, so if you want to keep up with them, you should subscribe to Carlo’s blog.
Some of the questions were not just about blogging, and some were about how I started what my influences are. So if you’re curious, please do check it out:

I know this sounds cheesy, but I feel honored to have been asked, and to have my interview be on a list with Courtney Tuttle of Blogging Zoom and Court’s Internet Marketing School, Daniel Scocco of Daily Blog Tips, and Alex Syoef of How to Spot Er and Web 2.0 Wealth (this last is an affiliate link, but it’s Carlo’s, not mine).
This is an easy strategy to implement, because it takes advantage of people’s vanity (I have to admit that it felt great to be asked for an interview). You don’t have to do so much writing yourself with interviews. The interviewees are likely to link to their interviews and help you grow your traffic simply because it also helps them. The interviewees’ readers are also likely to link to the interviews, because interviews are just one of those highly linkable forms of blog content.
