Seven Link Challenge Day One: Great Blogs
One of the blogs I read regularly is ProBlogger. Author Darren Rowse always has such great tips on how to make your blog more interesting, engage your readers and improve search performance. In a recent post he presented the idea of incorporating seven links into your post. He suggested a series of topics, and I thought it was such a good idea, I am actually going to write seven posts, each containing seven links.

A few days ago, I shared some of the results from our social media survey. This particular post focused on the question as to whether a small business had a social media policy. Reviewing the data, and checking out other companies policies got me thinking about the Roundpeg policy. As every new employee, interns included, join the Roundpeg team, they are asked to set up a twitter and LinkedIn accounts. Most of them already have Facebook pages. And I really think Facebook is still personal, but as a B2B marketing firm, twitter and Linkedin are seriously business applications. My...
