Title: Traffic Jam by John Reese - Social Blade - SheerSEO 2.26 View count: 464 Rating: 3.33 (3 ratings) Description: http://freelinereport.com 
Last week my friend John Reese, the guy who brought us Blog Rush, released his new Traffic Jam software. This utility allows you to speed-read your way through thousands of blogs for quick and easy access to the most popular topics in the blogosphere. Using Traffic Jam you can title your next blog post using the most popular themes and get more traffic to your blog. You can even share links to big blogs, and discover new ones -- all in a few seconds. Very cool idea -- thanks, John! Paul Graham released a new essay this week -- it's pretty thought provoking. It's called Six Principals for Making New Things. He explains what made the VC funding website, Y Combinator, such a success. I won't spoil any of the details here, but as usual - Paul Graham gives some great advice to both Startup Businesses and Venture Capitalists, too. Social Blade is a new program that launched in Public beta this week. This cool new web app collects data from Digg and displays interesting stats on the articles that hit the front page, INCLUDING how many BURIES a post receives and the friend voting percentages. Really fascinating stuff at a glance. Flickr has added nofollow tags to their image descriptions, which makes it harder to use Flickr for SEO purposes. Bummer. But - as of yet these nofollow tags are only for IMAGE descriptions -- so you can still put links into your Set and Collective descriptions and there's no nofollow tags on those links. SheerSEO is a tool that lets you monitor up to 200 keywords at a time so you can get up to the minute results for any website. It tracks your progress over time, and you can see not only where your page ranks for a bunch of keywords in Google and Yahoo, but you can also see how much TRAFFIC the keywords are generating. Very slick. And a quick reminder -- if you want to stay up to speed on Web 2.0 in just 2.0 minutes a day, join our email list or grab the RSS feed.
