Helping You Rock Out Your Site Like A Rockstar!

If you look up the term ‘#1 douchebag‘ in Google, you will find that Micah Baldwin (@micah on Twitter) holds that spot. This is because he asked people to link to him using that term as an anchor link. Some people would probably shake their head, but after hearing his presentation at WordCamp Chicago 2009, I did not think he was a douchebag. He is very funny and really does have a lot of knowledge in his field. A little extra tidbit about Micah is that he is the #FollowFriday founder. The original intention was allow people to list who they recommended and why… not the long lists that look like spammage.

Anyway, it was his ability to influence his followers into helping him achieve his goal. How did he do this… well, he put it all into the following points:

- became involved in several social media sites
- he was active on those social media sites
- he found content to share and shared it with others
- he remained true to himself

Now, he points are a bit different, but the points mentioned above reflect his own points.

Since hearing Micah’s story, I have been thinking of my own. It is not anything flambouyant, but I would like to rank higher in the key term ‘Nile’. I see all of these other things and when I searched to see if I was even listed… I was not. It is not shocking, but if you put the anchor link as ‘Nile’ on your site when linking Blondish.net, or even blog about it (which is awesome and I will be very happy), I will put your link on a page to thank those who supported the site. Yeah, it is not much, but it is a reciprocal link at least.

If you already link Blondish.net as ‘Blondish’ or ‘Blondish.net’, please change it to Nile.
