Have you seen the "Make Money on Google" advertisements in Google? If not, your'e really not missing out ... Most of the ads you'll find for "Make Money" are worthless, nevertheless ... many people are taken in by the lure of easy money, and apperently Google, is not too happy about people being ripped off by the worthless ads and has decided to crack down on the fraud ... Though most people have enough sense to take the ads at face value ... there are many that may believe that the ads are legitimate based solely on the misconception that if it's seen on the front page of Google, there may be some merit to it.

Okay ... I haven't been blogging too much as most of those that I speak to have mentioned ... Well ... I have to be honest ... I really haven't been interested enough in anything to write ... maybe I'm just being resistant to the "Once a Week" suggestions from the blogging pros ... For what it's worth ... the blog bug has somewhat returned ... so, I'll try to get back to writing at least once a week ... Blog ... Blah ... Blah ... Let's see how long this lasts ... Oh yeah ... Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ... If I don't blog again before their times arrive ... Blog Humbug ...

I'm really impressed by some of the new and effective internet marketing strategies that have been coming out lately. On LinkedIn, I saw a post for a sharing widget and decided that it would be cool to add this functionality to the collection of social media buttons on Florida SEO Blog. [directions to install the code].

As long as LinkedIn doesn't decide to change the API too much, I can have my readers spread the word about the content on Florida Search Engine Optimization and Florida SEO Blog to all of their contacts in LinkedIn and possibly expand Florida Search Engine Optimization's reach to a targeted market that otherwise I would not be accessible to.

For the CF coders that want to install the LinkedIn code on to BlogCFC, it's not too hard. There are five URL variables to be updated to share the article submission with your LinkedIn network.

1. The LinkedIn URL
2. The Article URL
3. The Article Title
4. The Article Source
5. The Article Summary



    http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=
    {articleUrl}&title={articleTitle}&summary={articleSummary}
    &source={articleSource}

I added the following code to the row of BlogCFC's social media buttons around line 100 of index.cfm. The content for this area is within div class="byline". If you want to add a LinkedIn Icon ... there's a good set of LinkedIn Icons here ... I used the 16px version.



	 LinkedIn Share!

Oh Yeah ... If you liked this article ... Don't forget to share it with your LinkedIn network ... :)
