do it. think it. blog it! ... a twisted world

PART I : I guess it's everyone's deep desire to have their blog read by folks apart from just family & friends. Well, but finding one's blog can be a daunting task even with the existence of google as a resource. Google not only indexes blogs and content but uses a unique page ranking technique that lists certain websites at the top of the search list. There's also technorati, yahoo and several others. But google being the primary source for blog:traffic. PART II : Heard of MLM?. Well if you've not, google it and you'll learn more. BOTTOM LINE : It's not good. but hey !! It works !! PART III : I thought of blending Multi Level Marketing techniques with blog:traffic generation using the conventional tagging method. And when google stumbles on one such tagged:blog, the chain starts. Here's the idea: lets get tagging. I ie: the blog:father start by choosing 10 bloggers and proclaim them to be my blog:children (a term that I pirated from instapundit.com). I then tag them ie: link their blogs from mine. Now my blog:children would need to reciprocate by linking back to me and proclaim 9 other blog:children of their own asking their blog:children to link back to them and their blog:father. Now when this tagging:trail continues, google sure would have some serious modifications that would need to be made to their current pageranking algorithm ;-) Here are my random 10 picks : blog:children: Letitia Gouveia, Samuel D, Chuck Mortimore, Tatsuo Kudo, Ranjith P Antony, Patrix M, Dave Massy, Mary Mary Quite Contrary, Fishayl The Bile, Storm JJ, Scott Partee I shall keep adding to this list as time rolls by :
last but not the least, You could also use other blogs to tag yourselves ;-) Whenever you reply to anybodys post, simple sign your name at the botton and tag yourself. that might work too...
Another important reason as to why I came up with this is because the Survey Results of Corporate Blogging were Out Today. You can read about it here. but in short, the results say :
"Link Popularity" makes a big difference with search engine rankings. Link popularity is essentially the number of links pointing back to a specific page and domain (a.k.a. "backlinks") combined with the relative popularity and relevance of each of the backlinks that companies have received from their corporate blogging efforts, thereby demonstrating the reasons why a company should consider blogging.
