Marketing Pilgrim

The day started off with a bang, then the news kind of fizzled out. Here’s what’s buzzing this afternoon.

• Podcasting is getting closer to finding a business model.
• 17% of marketers buy ads in return for new coverage. 7% have an explicit agreement with editors to only run positive news!
• Microsoft’s Live Search gained 4% market share in June.
• Daily Blog Tips ranks the top SEO blogs. We make #10 - even though I don’t consider us a true SEO blog. I’m grateful anyway.
