I am a big fan of Seth Godin, but his Z List, listing a few blogs that people should know about (but don’t know about yet), is a disaster.
Seth orginally listed a handful of good blogs and then folks had the chance to nominate and vote on other blogs.
Someone nominated my blog and that was thoughtful and just dandy, but there is a problem.
People are voting down blogs that they have never even visited in hopes that their blog rises in the rankings. The reason I know this is because I haven’t had one person visit my blog from the Squidoo Z List page, yet my blog is now at a -11 points, meaning at least 12 people voted negatively about my blog, yet not one of them visited.
My new goal for the Z List is to be last. Please help!
John Batelle is currently lower than I am and that is simply not right.
Vote me down!
Geez, I just got nominated on the list and now you say it's a bad thing. This whole "internet popularity" thing is confusing.
So, do I want to be number 1 or do I want booted off the list? If you are high on the list; then that's good, but if you are low on the list, you should want off of it?
I'm thinking I should start my on list…"Blogs that have "Dave" in the Title and are about MLM.
I should be number one on that one.
Dave
I don't want off the list. I just want to be last. ; )
Hello Ty,
The Z-List is a long story. And Seth just posted an update to his original Squidoo page.
Worth the read. ; )
Best Wishes from mindblob!
Or as another possibility you could help moderate the list.
LOL, Dave. That was great.
And I'd definitely vote for ya! Heck, I might even create my own Dave/MLM blog just to keep things interesting. 😉
Shine on,
Aaron
