I must say that there are a lot of people out there that want to build links for their websites. Of course I am doing the same thing but there are other methods to do this. Recently a new or maybe not so new tactic has come up where people will make a brief comment on a blog in an effort to get a link to their website posted. And while I do not mind allowing a link meaning one link to be published if there is an actually meaningful comment being posted I do not condone all of the attempted spamming being attempted on my blog.
Trying to get a spam message through by commenting on an old blog post will not work here. I moderate all blog posts first. I have let a couple through but only because there was an actual post and only one link.
So I encourage all of the people trying to spam on this blog to stop. If you actually want to read a post and make a useful comment I’ll allow a link to be published as well. Otherwise I will just keep deleting them.
Just because this blog is a Do follow blog does not mean something will be posted unless I allow it.
Thank you

Exciting times are coming! Starting this Sunday November 1st. We’ll be airing our first episode of a regular series of radio shows on www.BlogTalkRadio.com. For our first show I’ve lined up Dan Boudreau author of “Business Plan or Bust!” and the recently released book “Riskbuster, Start or Grow any Small Business.” We’ll be covering the topic of business planning and the role such plans play in the success of small businesses. Dan of course is one of the authors on www.SmallBusinessDelivered.com and we have published a number of his articles over the last year or so.
I am hoping that all of my readers of this blog as well as the numerous visitors we’ve been getting to www.SmallBusinessDelivered.com will be able to join us and listen in. If you do you’ll have the chance to call into the show and talk with myself as well as Dan Boudreau live on air. It should really make for an interesting evening as we get into what business plans are all about.
The show will be broadcast at 9pm Mountain time on Sunday November 1st and will last between 45 minutes and an hour. After that a recording of the show will be made available on www.SmallBusinessDelivered.com as well as this blog.

Early on when I first envisioned what www.SmallBusinessDelivered.com could become I started to do my homework on what was already out there. It was only a couple of years ago that I didn’t know what an ezine was. I wasn’t much into social networking either. I had always been a brick and mortar business owner. I knew how to surf the web like everyone else and I’d struggled through many fruitless hours searching for what I needed but I didn’t know much about SEO and article writing, or how Google and the other search engines came up with the results that they do. Of course that has all changed for me now. But I still had the question of what I wanted www.SmallBusinessDelivered.com to be.
I finally think I know the answer to that question. You see ezines of which there are more than enough have many things in common with each other. First and foremost they have a lot of articles. They have thousands upon thousands of them in fact. But many of these sites use a cookie cutter approach to their websites. In fact you can download a premade template or dashboard that many of them use. The owners of these sites hope they can make a few buck on Google advertising but there is no real focus to the sites themselves. They publish just about anything whether the writing is good or bad.
On the other side you have the big boys such as Entrepreneur.com and Inc.com that cater to entrepreneurs and small business owners. These sites of course have the money and the muscle. And while they are very well done sites and magazines I feel like they are lacking something. Many of their writers are business owners but often their businesses are past the small stage of business. I think sometimes they lose touch when it come to the issues that small business owners need information about.
So what do I want www.SmallBusinessDelivered.com to become. Well I think the Subtitle sends the message that I want to send. Entrepreneurs Helping Entrepreneurs. Not only should the site provide the resources that small business owners need but it needs the focused information that entrepreneurs are always searching for. To that end I decided to go searching for the authors that could provide strong focused information. Instead of letting just anyone post articles and be an author.
I want to find writers that are entrepreneurs as well. Dan Boudreau is a great example of the kind of expert in a field that I want to find. He’s published a book called “Business Plan or Bust” that you can find on Amazon.com and his website www.Riskbuster.com. His expertise is of course on how to write a business plan. And his writing is focused. Roger Ingbretsen is a business coach that has written two e-books that he offers through his website www.Inbretsen.com. Shirley Fine Lee our newest author is an expert on how to hold business meetings and she too has written a book that you can find on her website www.shirleyfinelee.com and Amazon.com as well. Her book is titled “R.A! R.A! A Meeting Wizard’s Approach”. And of course I wouldn’t wat to forget Steve Smith who is a business Coach from Saddleback Valley and runs www.saddlebackvalley.onecoach.com.
So I’ve ultimately decided that the site needs to help the authors as well as the readers. I hope that the authors will in some small ways be involved with the site and that I can help them network with other professionals to reach new readers and new customers. Sites like Entrepreneur.com and Inc.com while being very good in their own right often fail to see what their readers are truly looking for. And their focus in many cases drifts away from what it originally was. I want to find the diamonds in the rough. The people that are dealing with entrepreneurial issues everyday and have a great deal to offer others. If I can do that then I am confident that www.SmallBusinessDelivered.com will become a bona fide success in its own right as well.
