Scobleizer: How to get a top Technorati blogger to link to you?

  • kr8tr · 3 years ago
    It's simple - I'm trying to something good, and big, and don't think I am up to it on my own!

    Worth a shot...

    http://poddev.comitar.com - PodDev is a new tech podcast that looks to talk to the people who are making the web the exciting, ever-changing place that it is. In our first show we talk about Apple's WWDC announcements, Intel's open sourcing of drivers, and the launch of CrunchGear (with an interview). Our featured guest is Paul Colton, creator of JRun and most recently an open source HTML/JavaScript IDE called Aptana.

    By the way, for that domain you were trying to think of, intelligeek.net is available.

    Wow. Bonus. Thanks for the link Robert. I was just writing that list for Problogger's group writing project.

    No begging from me, but I do have a question: what's Mena's issue with lists? Lists can make great reading, both from an education and entertainment view point as well...indeed I got a good chuckle from this list.
  • Justin Williams · 3 years ago
    Why me? Because I just launched a new Web service, Porchlight. It's an issue tracker for small teams of software developers. Check it out!

    And here's the relevant posting about it on my personal blog.

    Well that is clever isn't it, I'll have to get a top ten list put together at http://joshmaher.wordpress.com
  • littlepurplecow · 3 years ago
    Maybe you'll make my list.

    Hey Robert, I just posted a list of reasons why I think (and others think) the Bay Area real estate market will crash 35% or more from its 2005 highs by 2011. Give it a read. I welcome reasoned opinions either way: http://www.slashchick.com/

    I think that links from A-list bloggers are over rated. What you really want is a link from a top ranked blogger who already reaches your target audience. Depending on the audience you are trying to attract an A-list blogger may not be all that helpful. Often the link from an A-list blogger gives you a one time boost in hits but little in the way of new subscribers.
  • Chris Brogan... · 3 years ago
    I think nifty names like The Great Big Small Business Show are a great reason to check out blogs and podcasts. But then, you've gone video, haven't you?

    We'll miss you at PodCamp.
  • Chris · 3 years ago
    Mostly blog recycling and some of my own thoughts on social-networking. I wrote 2 posts on my interviews with Microsoft as well..

    Don't mind the design -- I'm switching to Wordpress with a new one, but haven't found the time to put it up.
  • Ernie Oporto · 3 years ago
    No reason whatsoever.
  • Mike · 3 years ago
    Because we have a name that you can't possibly forget. Oh, there's something about content or something I should mention...I'm sure it wasn't important.

    ...does this mean I have to write something good tomorrow?

    Because we're the only space elevator company in the world that bothers to blog.

    Okay, we're the only organization dedicated to building a space elevator but still. Worth reading and keeping in your RSS feed for novelty' sake. News blogs and entertainment blogs and funny krep blogs are everywhere. Liftport's blog is unique.
  • Chris Saad · 3 years ago
    I wonder if there is a way that we can rank things not by popularity, but by personal relevance to me personally - because, after all, we are after the long tail - not the head.

    That's what we're trying to do ;)

    My blog is worth checking out because I'm a funny MF (sometimes), and I tackle interesting issues, in my humble opinion. It's still young, but the best is yet to come! Hey, that rhymed. http://runbmd.blogspot.com/

    Self important - arrogant geek statement. If you haven't figured it out by now. If you can't see the diamond in the rough then you must not be the geek I thought you were. Smiles and goes back to believing only the A list ever get the press.
  • kr8tr · 3 years ago
    I think I had the first comment on this thread... sorry to pile on - but here's a reason to post a link to my blog - I'm going to use a WiKi to elicit help to write a business plan - for a non=profit "franchise". I don't think you can get much more unique than that :)

    It's a serious issue though, and I am serious about it - so I would appreciate any help (and any comments of encouragement on my blog from your guests would be a plus).

    I welcome the lack of a link to my blog:

    http://jonswift.blogspot.com

    My extremely reasonable conservative commentary is a little too refined for the masses and could easily be misinterpreted by those without the keen intellect necessary to understand what I am trying to say. In the wrong hands it could even be dangerous.
  • bhdurfee · 3 years ago
    Good lord, I'm far too self important to try to get you to link to http://www.bhdurfee.wordpress.com. What are you thinking?

    Duncan: regarding Mena and lists.

    She hates them because they reinforce a hierarchical view of blogs and puts some blogs on a pedestal. I tend to agree with that view, but it's human behavior. I can only read a few hundred blogs on a regular basis. So, a hierarchy needs to exist for each reader.

    It's just that a pre-defined list makes it a lot harder for new bloggers to get noticed.

    Hence this post.

    Hi Robert,

    14 years ago cancer killed my mother, now I want my revenge. That's why I'm organising the Kill Cancer Death Rally, a sponsored drive from London to Barcelona.

    The blog is personal, the name is remarkable (the Kill Cancer Death Rally - how much does that stick in the mind), we're Stormhoek's first European geek event, we've got a wiki, we'll be creating viral content through cool partnerships ie getting grafitti artists to paint the cars.

    You'll find the Kill Cancer Death Rally at www.barcelonaorbust.wordpress.com - we're still looking for people to come along, so if you're in the UK please join.

    Thanks Robert and keep up the good work.

    If my little pathetic blog dies due to Scobleizing, there will be two things happening:
    1) I'm upgrading hosts.
    2) I'm going to get Maryam to smack ya.

    *grin*

    We're looking forward to you coming to CS.
  • Ed Byrne · 3 years ago
    Of course I think this blog is worth checking out! I got this job based on my pitch that the company needs to engage the community and talk more openly (not about itself, but about the industry) - and that the best way to do that is a blog.

    So far I'd like to think I've managed to keep the blog industry rather than company -centric, and do some interest things along the way (like free Wordpress blog hosting at your own domain).

    There's millions of personal tech bloggers, but very few (as far as I can see) good business blogs. Hopefully this: http://www.hosting365.com/blog is one of the better ones.

    It's not a blog, although it has one... My new(ish) web app is called Hngry (www.hngry.com). It lets people keep track of details about their favorite restaurants, find coupons in their area, be notified about their coupons before they expire, share their lists of restaurants with others, and soon, search for places to eat in other cities.

    Robert,
    Yea I'd say this will definitely p*ss some A-Lists (shudder) off. Or maybe this is some sort of covert survey to see how many will avail of it...

    Anyway, a blog on 2 interesting technologies... online image editing and on-demand web-editing...

    Why link? I have nothing to sell or promote, but I keep things entertaining. Also, prescient: lately, about once a week or so, I post something stuff that NPR and/or the BBC cover a few days later. That probably sounds crazy, but I can prove it....It's all part of what makes me such a complex and interesting (and modest) guy....
  • Sheila · 3 years ago
    Oh, Robert, you are both generous and insane. First you blog your cell phone number (insane) and now you offer your high-traffic blog to the little people (generous).

    You don't just talk about community, you live it. Where did you learn that?

    My personal blog is GetSheila, where I entertain my friends and become one with this whole e-community thing.

    Thank you for the insanity.
  • Robert Scoble · 3 years ago
    Sheila, I get my insanity from my mom. :-)

    My site is worth checking out because I'm giving away fairly good XHTML/CSS website templates for free. Those templates (which are standards-compliant, simplistic and optimized for speed and accessibility) are currently used on more than 300.000 different websites, of which about 15.000 are recognized by Technorati. That gives me a Technorati top-5 rank, although outside the 'Top 100 Blogs' list since my links come from footer credits.

    In other words, I don't need any link from you. But it would be really nice to get a comment on my work, so if you ever have a few minutes of spare time and want to help a guy improve his art, feel free to write me a line! :)
