Increase Traffic to Your Blog
With the Blogosphere approaching 30 Million how does a Blogger stand out? Judge other Blogs. A blog must seek status quickly to avoid being ignored. A role some have chosen is to be on a selection committee to review other Blogs:
Weekly Roundup of Weekly Roundups
In the spirit of the Carnival of the Carnivals:
- The Bestofme Symphony
- The Bonfire of the Vanities
- The Carnival of the Capitalists
- The Carnival of the Liberated
- The Carnival of the Recipes
- The Carnival of the Vanities
- The Storyblogging Carnival
- The Watcher's Council
It just so happens the Watchers have an opening. There are a few T&C's however:
Reciprocal Links -- All council members must maintain a list of links to all other members of the council... this list must be kept in a place of prominence on the member's blog and kept separate from all other blogrolls on the page.
Nominations -- On a weekly basis, all other council members will be asked to email me 2 links. The first link must be to a blog entry of their own, and the second link must be to something written by someone not sitting on the council.
Voting Procedure -- Voting is required, but members are forbidden to vote for links to their own writing... though members are permitted to vote for any links submitted in the non-council category, even a nomination of their own choosing. I will also be adding 2 links to be voted on, but not any links to my own entries... I will be submitting 2 links in the non-council category.
Voting Results -- Once I tally all the votes, I will announce the winners and display the breakdown of how many votes each link received. All members of the council will then be required to make a blog entry of their own, which announces both winners and prominently displays both links... each member's announcement must also link to my post announcing the full results.
Impeachment -- My membership to the council will be permanent, but any member of the council can call for the removal of any non-permanent member. The motion to remove a member must be made publicly in a blog entry as well as via email to me.
If That Sounds like something you would like to do go here.
