I got John Chowed
Turns out John pinched my video (but it’s ok cos he linked to my blog) about the 140 Million Dollar Mansion and he did a post about it in which he linked to my blog as the source, which was nice of him. Anyway, this is great because I got a link from a high autority blog plus he sent just under a hundred visitors my way yesterday, which is always good!
It just goes to show how popular his blog is. Funny thing is, there have been over 120 bloggers who have written a review of John Chow Dot Com in order to get a link to their blog and all I did was post a video! In all fairness though, John’s blog is a fantastic read (although the people at Digg don’t seem to think so, but that’s another story), especially if you have time to browse through the archives there are some brilliant tips and it’s very entertaining - one of the few blogs I actually frequent every day. It wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up in the Technorati Top 100 eventually, especially with his crafty linkbaiting schemes!!
(There you go, that was sort of a review, can I have another link please John?!)
I’ve also figured out how to embed the video now too, I just had to turn off the rich text editor. I thought that you could just copy and paste in the HTML box in the editor, but apparantly not. Duh.
Indeed. From the looks of it, it’s only a matter of time before he hits the top 100. Like you, I never did a review of his blog but sent him an email when i wrote a post i knew he would be keen on. That link alone skyrocketed my ranking on technorati.
Yeh, my tecnorati ranking did go up quite a bit I think.
