Tim Ferriss recently made this post asking for readers to register their blogs at Technorati and find something interesting to link to on his 4HWW blog. I loved his book, The 4-Hour Work Week, and I find many of the posts on his blog interesting so I decided to help him out.
When I registered with Technorati I was given two choices to claim my blog. The first was to give them the username and password to my blog. That’s not gonna happen. The other option was to make a post to my blog with this link to my Technorati profile Obviously I chose the second option.
While I’m at it I might as well ask a favor of you too. If you like my blog, please register your blog at Technorati, find a post you liked and link to it from your blog.
I also ran across this site today: BlogTopList I’ve never heard of it and know nothing about it other than what I read on the homepage. It’s some kind of blog directory but what really caught my eye was a PR7 ranking and an Alexa rank of 3,855. Obviously that site gets a ton of traffic and it was free to register my blog so I did.
If you like my blog, could you do me a favor and click on the icons below to vote for CyberCa$hology? You can do this even if you don’t have your own blog.
Here’s the BlogTopList icon: 
Here’s the Technorati icon: 
Thanks for your help. I’ll let you know if either of these tactics work to drive traffic to my blog. If they do, then you can use them to drive traffic to your blog. Some people like to sit back and watch and let others like me be the guinea pigs. There’s nothing wrong with that but my natural inclination is to act first and think second. I make a lot of mistakes but they’re usually easy to fix and I learn from my mistakes & failures too.
Remember what Thomas Watson said:
| “Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure… You’re thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all… You can be discouraged by failure–or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that’s where you’ll find success. On the far side of failure.” |
Words of wisdom from the man who created IBM.

Two great Ideas, I already use Technorati but now I will also join BlogTopList. Have you ever heard of BlogRush or BlogExplosion?
