The Revenge of Z-Listers

 

Is your blog in need of some ‘link love’? Fancy more exposure and recognition on the www? Do you have faith in viral marketing?  

 Mack Collier came up with a solution: 

“In an effort to bring more link-love to those blogs that I feel aren’t getting their due, I’ve

created a small list of blogs below that I’ve linked to. The idea is to create a meme built around giving link-love to the blogs that deserve it, and hopefully turn Technorati’s system of using a blog’s # of links to determine its ‘authority’, on its ear. What YOU can do is simply create a new post on your blog, but CUT AND PASTE the list I have below, and then ADD any blogs you feel aren’t getting their due either. The idea is, find those great blogs that, for whatever reason, you feel aren’t getting their due, link-wise.Then after you leave your post, the next blogger will do the same thing, cut and paste YOUR list, and add THEIR blogs to the list, then repost it. Add the same instructions in your post that the next blogger should cut and paste YOUR list, and add any blogs they feel should be on it to THEIR list. The list will get increasingly long, and all the blogs will get a sort of reverse ‘pyramid-affect’ of link-love.This is a PAINFULLY easy way to bring extra links and exposure to those blogs that deserve it. I would institute an ‘honor’ rule that you don’t include your own blog. The end result is that many great blogs will get a ton of extra exposure, we’ll all find some great new blogs to add to our reading list, and you’ll get mucho good karma points for helping out your fellow bloggers! And who knows some of that link-love might even come back to you!
