MyBlogLog Sunday, a Technorati fiddle?
Filed in: MBL sunday
I was looking around the internet at different Technorati gaming strategies. There are some clever folks out there. One by one they seem to hit a wall, though, and Technorati puts their foot down. I don't know if they all deserve Technorati's wrath, but secretly (or not now I am going to reveal all!) I don't much care for winning by any means. It is why I have never won much, I guess!
It got me thinking that perhaps MyBlogLog Sunday was considered in that sphere of link love influence. Every Sunday, I record the last 10 MyBlogLog bloggers to visit the Pisstakers before I hit blogging mode. When I have also picked out a witty comment of the week from a MyBlogLog visitor, I write a slightly witty mini review of each site with plenty of links included.
Admittedly, Technorati does like The Pisstakers a little more each day, but for the most part, to any cynics out there, the only hidden agenda in the MyBlogLog Sunday idea is that I am promoting (in a mini way) the MyBlogLog community members who can be bothered to visit The Pisstakers on a traditionally quiet Sunday. In turn, some alert their visitors to my site and traffic comes back my way. So, from where I am sitting, I don't see myself as a link lover per se. I simply thought that writing and linking and interacting with people, not robots and scripts, was how the internet worked!
Looking out from my ivory tower, the feature seems to be a welcome addition to the blog world, MyBlogLog themselves are supportive in their quiet way, and people with sweet teeth love the prize of 1lb of gummi bears. (That mighty prize plus indepth review, goes to the top referrer amongst the 10 mini reviewed bloggers.) All told, this weekly feature has helped create some buzz. but has not artificially inflated rankings for The Pisstakers, at least I don't think it has. Others may think different? Let me know.
I haven't really thought of MyBlogLog Sunday as a way to game MyBlogLog either. I had about 40 contacts at the start, and am adding about 10 a week. Not exactly going well if I am trying to get in the top 10!
Remember, any blogger who writes a post about MyBlogLog Sunday or mentions their mini review, should tag it in Technorati. I will find it and you will get a second link - amidst a real sentence or two!
Oh yeah, when I review blogs on Sundays, I do spend time looking around, usually start on the homepage, go to the About Page and then on from there. I also try to find the good bits, but if there aren't any, I will say so too. As we all know, love hurts sometimes!! See you tomorrow.
