The Friday Traffic Report is the place to find daily tips on professional social and blog marketing strategies from Jack Humphrey. Useful information for anyone in the writing industry. Jack deals with a variety of topics including to name a few; youtube, twitter, facebook and blogging. Well worth a visit!

The site also has a direct link to the Internet Radio Show which is also worth listening to.

Who Is Jack Humphrey?

I’ve been doing this internet thing for a long, long time. I wouldn’t give up the freedom, nor the feeling I get when I see clients and students succeed, for anything.

I started messing around online in 1991.

I started getting serious in 2000 and in 2002 wrote the most widely-downloaded and respected book on link building called “Power Linking.”

Friday Traffic Report Radio Every Friday, 2 p.m. Eastern

ContentDesk.com, a site building membership center, was started in 2005 and quickly sold out in one day. From there we continued to evolve to what we have today, BlogSuccess.com, the most complete professional blogging training center on the web.

Over the last decade I’ve been responsible for billions (with a B) of visitors for myself and my clients and students who have learned what I have to share about marketing online.

Today, the Friday Traffic Report, BlogSuccess.com, and a few social sites are the most likely places you’ll find me as an active participant. Though you can find me with over 2000 keyword phrases on Google and links to this and my other sites in practically every corner of the web you surf.

Are you sick of posting URLs in emails only to have it break when sent causing the recipient to have to cut and paste it back together? Then I've found a site for you. By entering in a URL in the text field on site, Tinyurl.com will create a tiny URL that will not break in email postings and never expires.

Are you posting something that you don't want people to know what the URL is because it might give away that it's an affiliate link? Then you can enter a URL into TinyURL, and your affiliate link will be hidden from the visitor, only the tinyurl.com address and the ending address will be visible to your visitors.

With TinyURL, you can also make a smaller URL that will work for any page on your site. Let's say that you have a website with the homepage that is at:

http://www.my-internet-isp.com/~myusername

Entering that URL into TinyURL will create a URL like

http://tinyurl.com/3

With this you can then redirect someone to anywhere within your site by appending a slash and the pages filename to it. So if you have a page at http://www.my-internet-isp.com/~myusername/my-links-page.html, you can use the URL http://tinyurl.com/3/my-links-page.html and going to this URL will forward the visitor to the page in your website.

TinyURL was created as a free service to make posting long URLs easier, and may only be used for actual URLs.

This is very handy for when your using sites like Twitter.com that only allow a limited text.
