I know I’m not supposed to care about stats and Technorati ranking and Google Page Rank and all that stuff. Really, my entire blogging experience might be quantifiably better if I could just stay away from that stuff. But for someone who had crushing self-esteem problems in her early teenage years, those silly links and stats are empirical proof that you like me, you really like me.
Silly, isn’t it? I know, I know.
So, when I moved blog over here and watched my Technorati rank crash into the basement, it was a humbling experience. I know you still like me, and frankly, now that I’m hardly getting any Google traffic at all, I know each person who has visited recently has done so intentionally, not just in passing looking for more information about “pineapple and IVF” or the “ikea dog weiner” incident.
Then I remembered something I’d seen over at some of the marketing and SEO blogs I read as part of my day job, the link train. It’s simple, really. We just make a list of blogs who would like to share some linky love, and then propogate it, letting anybody who wants to play along join in. So here’s how it works:
- Cut and paste from this point on.
- If you want to play along and have your blog listed, just leave a comment with your URL and your blog title.
- I’ll add everybody’s links to a master list and post it here.
- You copy the entire list, including instructions, onto your blog. Invite your readers to comment and add their blog to the list.
- Lather. Rinse. Propogate.
What do you think? Want to play along?
Oh, count me in. I could ride a linky love train.
You could consider doing yay days as a meme to get in the routine. Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer uses Mister Linky’s Magical Widgets for her Works for Me Wednesdays, that might save you some work.

Just wanted to mention that mom-101 posted an excellent article on ho bad plastics are for our children, and which bottles are the worse. Gulp. The post is called: “The Plastic Bubble Has Burst, or Why 7 is the New 666” and her blog – which is on your blog roll is: http://www.mom-101.com – I think it was worth mentioning in case you wanted to write about it too!
