So today I was thinking real hard on what to write for Darren’s group writing project and the shabam! It hit me. Right in the old breadbasket. When you get hit there, real hard, you naturally get this feeling that you’re going to throw up……so I pulled up some scraps of paper to protect my clothing, just in case it came too soon. Then it hit me again; SHABAM! The paper was a print out from lifehacker.(No offence intended to lifehacker)

Actually, all that throwin up crap is part of the fancy first paragraph I tried to write…it backfired!
I reall haven’t said what I want to write, have I?

Wouldn’t it be nice to occasionally get links from blogs like problogger, lifehacker, boing boing, the huffington post? I think it would be awesome! (Even if only for improving my technorati rank)

But why would it be awesome? This is because links from such blogs aren’t normal, they’re superlinks. Why? The said blogs are amongst the most highly rated in the blogosphere. This, in turn, partly (from an SEO point of view) results from them being linked-to by so many other blogs, small fish like you and I. So when these super blogs link to you, they just don’t link but they superlink! And your technoratiran jumps up.

Imagine if they could be regularly linking to you.

Does it have to be these exact blogs or just any high ranked/rated blog? How do you get your blog to be high rated? More importantly, which high rated blog will give you free superlinks?
Can you make a superblog? Can we make a super blog? Get my drift?

Let me explain. What if we collaborate to hack a blog of our choice into superblog status and since said blog is ours, we link to ourselves.
Simple plan: I start a blog like linkbait.blogspot.com, we then agree that we all post to this blog and link to ourselves in these posts. We all get free links, right?

Now for the superlinks. Everyone who posts to our blog must link, from his/her own blog(s), to our blog. If enough of us link to our blog enough times, it will become super. And all the links pointing to our blogs will become superlinks. Get my drift? Cool.

Now, our blog can either be a spammy link spewing link-dump(where you just spam it with links back to you) or something cooler. I vote for something cooler. This is whereby whatever you wanna post to our blog has to be submitted to some editor of sorts who will ensure it is intelligible (fit for human consumption) and adds value to our blog. i.e. our blog should be a blog first and a machine second. This is to say that I think, as a rule, anything to be posted to the blog must be something that we would all enjoy reading, and the linking must be done in a natural way(no link spamming).

This will make the blog fit to stand on its own and it may even attract readers who are not us i.e. it may interest other people, even non bloggers. Then, we will have made history and have taken part in a real cool, beneficial net project and human endeavour.

This is all from the top of my head therefore it may sound wacky right now. Be patient, evaluate it. I think its workable.

Tell me what you think, if you’re interested, whether you see any flaws in my plans and whether you have anything to add on.

Parting Shot: You don’t havce to just link back to yourself. Think affiliates.
