>>However, I could definitely do with an editing partner on the projects I'm working on. A second set of eyes never hurts for me. I try, but I'm bound to miss something.<<
I do freelance editing, which I may have mentioned before.
>>However, tips and tricks for getting noticed are what I'm looking for. Links to various communities, facebook tricks, myspace avenues, even ideas for places to advertise inexpensively or free are all greatly appreciated.<<
My most useful social networks for traffic have been MyBlogLog, BlogCatalog, and BlogExplosion. Facebook is more like a permanent con suite, somewhere to meet people and chat.
A great trick is ad swapping. Say you want to pimp a book. You put up a block of 100x100 ads on your site, then you talk to your author friends. Whoever puts an ad for your book on their site gets to advertise their own book on your site -- and no money needs to change hands. You're posting ads for books in front of an audience who, being on an author site, probably likes to read. Everybody wins.
