This blog was created on July 4, 2003 and in that time I’ve sent out several links to others, added sites to my blogroll, and removed some too. This entry is to confirm that my search is still very much active and ongoing for interesting blogs that I can add/update to the site. So what is this blog’s criteria for linking (or linking back to) another blog? It’s really pretty simple:

Something well written, frequently updated, useful, and/or compelling on pretty much any current event or web or tech-related topics (but I will link other than web/tech-related events).

Here’s the problem:

I can only visit and search through so many blogs a day, looking for those gems in the slushpile (sorry, but a lot of the blogs I’ve visited are like reading unsolicited novel manuscripts). So if I don’t know that your wonderfully fresh perspective blog exists, I cannot visit and read through for entries I can link up – I won’t be able to find (well maybe eventually I will find your blog) in order to add it to my list of regular reads. You might have the best blog in the world but unless you stop by and comment on something I’ve written and/or put a link on your blog to an entry of this site so that you show up in the referrer logs then how will I find you?

The outgoing link value, blogshares players, for this site is currently: $277.54. From my very basic understanding and analysis of this game, this isn’t too bad for a youthful blog and should help raise up your value if this site links to you. But in order to do that I do need at teensy bit of your help

I know you are out there, gentle blog owner, and wanting links, traffic, readers, so please you just have to help me out by raising your hand and making it known that you are there.

Keeping this in mind, I’ve put up this entry so that you can click on the comments and tell me what your blog is about. Oh, and if you want to tune in or call into my radio show and tell me about your blog that’s ok too. Email isn’t the best or most reliable contact option for me because of the volume (mostly BS like the everybody else) that I need to sift through. We stream across the internet in multiple bandwidths every Friday at 2pm PT / 5pm ET. Today is our 156th week of broadcasting and we have a toll free caller line for those in the United States. Plenty of ways to get the word out to me that you are there and you are blogging.

What do you say? Comment and link away

• Looking for tech-related blogs
• Blog refer spamming
• Memeorandum hard to spell, not hard to follow
• To have full RSS feeds or not?
• Trackbacks now inline, mixed with comments
• When complaining about internal links don’t forget Wikipedia
