How do you fancy a link from USA today? A feature on Yahoo Picks? An editorial from the BBC?

Most website owners would answer, Of course!. Quickly followed by? but it will never happen to my website?. Well as the old adage goes, if you dont ask, you dont get.

Getting links from such mega sites is entirely possible.

Turn that on its head and put yourself in the place of a journalist with a deadline to meet and a desperate need to find something interesting. Where might they go for inspiration? Where would they turn to for help?.

Mike Corso is one guy that might just have the answer to those questions. Mike runs CoolSiteoftheDay.com. Every day a brief description and link to the chosen cool site of the day is sent to 150,000 subscribers who then rate the site on a scale of 1 to 10 for coolness. The immediate impact is a huge spike in traffic as subscribers who like the sound of the site visit.
