Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I've read a few posts saying not shorten links at all but we have a lot to tweet and need to. Is googles shortener the best option?

I've considered linking to the category index page the article is on and expect the user to find the article and click on the article, I don't like the experience that creates though.

I've considered making the article permalink tiny but I would lose the page title being in the url. Is this the best option?

Thanks Ryan. I've been submitting but it is a process. Our rss feed doesn't seem to be accepted in blog rolls I've tried. I'm playing with feedburner to try and get one that will work properly.

I'll work on the blog sitemap as well, thanks.

That sets me on the right path. We're actually using a typepad blog integrated with deliverance. Definatly no hope of a 3rd party plugin but I'll try that pingomatic, looks like a great tool.

Thank you!

We have a pretty simple blog http://www.aviawest.com/blog

I've noticed our articles arn't showing up in Google blogs on "web", we've submitted to http://blogsearch.google.com/ping a month ago. Anyone have some insight here?
