We know that blog engines – Word Press et al are really optimized for search. Did the search engines decide blogs were cool and modified search to give them more juice OR did the blog engines modify their structure to be more SEO? Chris points to Google Blog Search.

17:58 Kyle replies to last week’s question of the week:
The most important stat that I track, as of now, is my sources of traffic. This comes from the fact that my blog is still fairly small, and I want to be able to learn where my traffic comes from in order to make the most effective social media strategy.
19:18 Doug answered the public PR firms question: There are, IPG for example, however they all seem to be marketing firms that do PR, not only. One of the difficulties in PR firms going public is the uncertainty of the cash flow and the generally smallish size.

Hi guys, you were asking about online surveys. One i have not personally used but you might want to check out is the survey tool from ConstantContact.com
They have a 60 day free trial and it’s less expensive that Survey Monkey.
You’d need to check out whether the analytics and reporting were what you are looking for.
Hope this helps.
