Original Blog Review Game

karadawn · Posted: September 4, 2007, 5:58 pm Post subject: Original Blog Review Game

Here's the deal. Google loves incoming links to your site and blog. Not just any links, but more importantly ONE WAY links. Meaning you've got to figure out how to get someone to link to you without having to put a link back somewhere. Not easy, but this is where this game comes in.

The rules are simple:

1. Pick a blog or site from the list below. Make sure it's one you like, and don't just settle on the first one! Take a look at several before you settle. Find one you REALLY like. You may also consider picking one that relates to your blog. The response will be much better.

2. Make a post on your blog about the site/blog you picked. Tell your readers why you like this site, what you hope to see, and anything else interesting that grabs your attention. It should be like a positive review of the site/blog you picked. If you cannot write something positive, please choose another blog. The idea is to give a glowing review of your favorite blog from the list. Blog posts MUST be at least 100 words.

3. Reply to this post and let us see your blog post and what site/blog you picked. You must post the exact link so we all can read it. THEN tell us which of your sites/blogs you want to be added to the list. We'll update the list below as the posts come in.

That's it! We hope this game will be neverending, and keep on supplying us all with new visitors and new incoming links. Plus we'll be seeing some awesome blogs and meeting new friends! Yes you MAY add more than one review and more than one site (you get one site/blog posted per review post on your blog).

Ready to play? First chose a site to blog about (and yes, you MUST have a blog to play - that's the point!):

Also I should mention that I will most likely be removing sites/blogs after there are so many reviews done on them (limit it to say, 5 or 10, to prevent any one blog from having "too many" while the rest have none). Of course they can go back up if the owners do more reviews. Wink

I'll be sure to put number beside the blogs to keep track of just how many reviews each blog/site has. Smile

Not too many blogs to choose from yet though...we may have to accept some submissions (maybe those who have posted have more than one blog they can submit to "beef up" the selection.(?)

For example - Lara and Anita could submit another blog for review? Know what I mean? Wink

Question: My understanding is that we are going for one way links - so does that mean that I should avoid reviewing a blog that I know has already linked (more than once) to mine?

Oh, Lara - I just meant that you two should be allowed to submit another blog for review - NOT also have to write another review. I was thinking "bonus-freebie" for being the first ones to review and get this game off the ground.

Know what I mean? Wink

Thanks for the review Lara!

I've added the rules and links to more blog choices on my blog. I'll try to get to this post to double check who is blogging, but to be sure I add you please comment on my Original blog review game post. This will get us even more links.

I'll get some reviews up this coming week. Now that we are back to school we need to get rockin' ladies!
