Runaway Link Train
A new link train, the Geek Train, seems to be picking up speed, judging by the number of new links that are appearing for me on Technorati. It’s been interesting to watch this link train pick up speed over the last couple days as the number of branches develops.
I normally don’t join these trains, but to stop the endless emails from people telling me I’ve been tagged I’m writing a post now before the train gets huge and also because I don’t mind being described as ‘wickedly cool’!
———- START COPYING HERE ———-Geek Train - All aboard!
1 - Write a short paragraph at the beginning of your post and linkback to the blog(s) that put you on the list in the paragraph, or where you saw the train. You MUST do this. No-one plans on getting slapped for duplicate content any time soon, do they?
2 - Next, copy the list of originals below COMPLETELY and add it to your own blog. If you’d like a different keyword for your blog then change it, when you do your post, and it should pass to most blogs with that keyword, provided the train keeps on spreading.
3 - Take the adds from the blog that added you and place them in the “Originals†list.
4 - Add at least three new favourite blogs of yours to keep the train going, e-mail the blog owners (or comment on one of their posts) and insist that they post.

My pleasure Everton - When I started the train you were one of the first people who sprang to mind - hope you don’t mind the extra link love.
Hehe…

Suppose I am gonna do the same as you. Then How m i going to get benefitted by boarding this train. As the originals link will be there whenever someone posts and my add will be there in my blog and if some one does not add my blog name then it is not garnering any links for me.
Comment by Everton on 4 August 2007:
@Ajay
(i) Because your readers will do the same and you will create new branches leading to links to your site
(ii) Becuase the people you link to will hopefully create branches
