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

Nice list of ways to get a top Technorati blogger to link to you. Be warned, though, it’ll piss off Mena Trott, co-founder of Six Apart, who, at BlogHer, told us to please stop making lists. But, no need to beg for a link from a jerk like me who has gotten too self important to read all his email. No, just leave your URL in the comments here along with a good sentence explaining why your blog is worth checking out.

Or, you could always invite Maryam and me to speak at your conference like ConvergeSouth just did (October 13-14 in Greensboro, North Carolina).

    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 http://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.

    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.

    I recently started outdoorhacks.com. Most easily summed up as lifehacks for the outdoors. You guys probably could have used some of the tips before your Montana trip. Thanks.

    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….

    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.
