      Hi Jay,
      I noticed that you are super-fast in spotting our posts of you which is great :) . What tool(s) are you using to track mentions of your name online?
      Thanks in advance for sharing :) .

      • http://www.convinceandconvert.com jaybaer

        For stuff like that, I just use Google Alerts or WordPress ping back notifier.

  • http://goinswriter.com/ Jeff Goins

    Thanks for the link and including my Copyblogger article. Glad you liked it.

    Thanks so much for including my post. Very exciting in deed :)

    • http://happyhh70.webs.com/ Heba Hosny

      You are most welcome, Jessica. I am a huge Amy Winehouse fan. In fact, couple of weeks ago I was joking that if she ever made a song titled “Twitter Rehab”, I will be the first to check-in!Â
      You touched upon the dark side of social media. I hope marketers would learn NEVER to “use” death to sell more!Â
      I should be thanking you for your great post.  Keep up the good work :) .

  • http://deepexistence.com Stephen Guise

    I’m honored you included my Problogger post (at #1!). It took me quite a while to put it together, so things like this let me know it’s well worth the extra effort.

    Thanks for compiling this list – I’m sure that took a lot of effort as well!

    • http://happyhh70.webs.com/ Heba Hosny

      You are most welcome, Stephen. I could tell that you have put so much effort into your article and it paid off beautifully.

      To me, your article was a joy to read so I figured Garious readers would feel the same.

      And yes, compiling this list was no smooth sailing but I enjoyed it immensely.

      Anyway, I was so fortunate to spot instant winners including your article. Thank you for making my task easier and for inspiring our readers. Keep up the good work :)

      • http://deepexistence.com Stephen Guise

        That’s great Heba! I’m starting to realize that it’s better to write 3 amazing articles than 10 good ones – both in personal satisfaction and impact on the blogosphere/internet/world.

        Thanks again.

    • http://twitter.com/OnlinePrPixie Jessica Hodkinson

      I find your blog really helpful and have always used it as a guide to blogging.

      Learn from the best I guess :)

      • http://deepexistence.com Stephen Guise

        Wow, thank you Jessica! That’s very encouraging to hear. :-)

  • Anonymous

    Great list and going to have to do some serious reading here!

    • http://happyhh70.webs.com/ Heba Hosny

      I bet you will :) but trust me, it wasn’t easy compiling this list. So, you will be reading the best of the best! Enjoy!
