The Z-list: Are You On It Yet?
Over the last week I’ve been getting a lot of incoming links thanks to Dosh Dosh adding me to the Z-list. Haven’t heard of the Z-list yet? Well, neither had I until a few days ago:
Mack Collier from The Viral Garden started ‘The Z List‘ in December 2006 as a response towards Technorati’s method of assigning authority based on the number links pointing to a blog. The Z list is a blog meme, which sees bloggers creating and sharing a list of many links to blogs in a single post. Participants joining the Z list meme will have to copy and paste a list of blogs, while including any new blogs on the list that they feel should get the exposure they deserve.
What are the benefits of joining the Z List meme?
- You’ll get a lot of fresh incoming links and traffic
- You’ll get a much higher Technorati ranking. (Ironic but true)
- You’ll get new readers and potential RSS subscribers
- You’ll most likely increase your blog’s Google Page Rank
At first I thought this was all a bit tacky, but I’ve been getting so many incoming links I’ve been feeling a bit selfish, so I’m adding the list to my blog. I’m also doing it now as I imagine some threads of the Meme are getting quite long!
To participate in the Meme you need to:
- Create a new post on your blog
- Copy and Paste the entire list of blog links below
- Add any blogs that you want to include near the top of the list. (This isn’t compulsory, so you can either add as many blogs as you want or none at all.)
- Include the blog where you first got the list from, on the list in your post
- Do not include your own blog links on the list in your post
- Make sure that all links point to each blog’s homepage
- Publish the Post
