What do you have that is the “best ever” that is related to your book or web site? Head on over to Squidoo and quickly create a “lens” to let the world know at The Ever Project: at http://www.squidoo.com/ever/hq .
This project allows you to create your best ever collection on any subject. You could do the best recipe books ever, best quotes ever, best authors ever. I created a lens on the best Adoption Scrapbook Album ever (which happens to be my book…)

Here’s a tip for every person who owns a web site, especially authors and writes. Never use a hyphen in your URL (that’s the www._____.com) unless it’s strictly used as “secondary site” to point search engines to and not used in any of your publicity materials. If your name is already taken add on a phrase or name such as www.greatbooksbymyfirstnamelastname.com.

They call it “concentration” but it’s the addictive little game I play with my son where you turn 2 cards over and try to match. Check out the computer version over at LinkTiles where our button “You Can Sell More Books” was chosen as one of the Tiles today!
