Top 10 Ways to Get a Technorati Top 100 Blogger to Link to Your Blog or Website

By Michael Pollock in Blogs and Blogging

If you really want to pump up the traffic to your blog or website, at least temporarily, just get a link from any of the Technorati Top 100 bloggers. No, it’s not easy, but here are ten ways that might gitterdun for ya.

Disclaimer: I will not be held responsible for any legal action taken against you as a result of using these tactics.

1. Write almost anything that has to do with David Allen’s Getting Things Done, and send it to any Technorati Top 100 blogger who is a GTD fanatic.

2. Take a photo of yourself wearing a rubber nose and send it to any Technorati Top 100 blogger who likes that kind of thing.

3. Write a post suggesting that reading the blog of a particular Technorati Top 100 blogger may cure erectile dysfunction. Be sure to create a cool, funny graphic to go with it.

4. Create some cool, ingenius gadget hack, and send it to any Technorati Top 100 blogger who loves to write about cool, ingenius gadget hacks.

5. Launch a cool, new Web 2.0 company or application and have it reviewed by any Technorati Top 100 blogger who reviews cool, new Web 2.0 companies and applications.

6. Pick your favorite Technorati Top 100 blogger, and start stalking him (or her). Just make sure you get that all-important link before they lock you up and throw away the key.

7. Write anything that makes life easier for iPod users, and send it to any Technorati Top 100 blogger who likes to publish stuff that makes life easier for iPod users.

8. If you happen to get your hands on any embarrassing photos of A-list celebs, publish them on your blog, then send the link to your favorite Technorati Top 100 blogger who thrives on publishing such photos.

9. Pick your favorite Technorati Top 100 blogger, and name him or her your “Wanker of the Day.”

10. Write a blog post in the form of a list, and submit it to any Technorati Top 100 blogger who happens to be running a group writing project about blog posts in the form of a list.

Keep up with the creative blogs like this one and you’ll soon be one of the Top 100. Will you link to me then? (Don’t make me stalk you, Wanker. And don’t forget the embarrassing photos I have on my iPod of you making lists of Web 2.0 gadget hacks with David Allen!)

I think I’m not so adventurous, not as far as you go with your list at least !

I wanted to advise you on using the automatic translator the results are hilarious, but not very useful to a widre multi-language audience, and I’m pretty sure it’s teh same for the other languages …

Very interesting! I want to translate it into Chinese if you allow me. And I think one should be added for Chinese bloggers: Write about Xu Jinglei and send the link to her.

I think I might have done something similar back in the good old days. Only it was a hit list not a wanker of the day.

I don’t think I’ve ever read any of the top 100 technorati blogs. Does this make me a bad person?

Cool list but I don’t think it will work out very well.
On Nov 29, 2007, Prince John said:

Amusing list. Another option will be calling one of the top 100 bloggers a COW and sending the link to almost all of the other top 100 bloggers. Someone will take note and possibly get a link too.

Negative side is you can also get a kick, ‘you know how a cow kicks’.
