ViralTags (Version 2.0)

None of the upstream people in Version 1.0 added me to their list, so at this point I'd have to call that experiment a failure.

Jimmy Huen says he has a better platform, so here goes. This is my last experiment with this for a while, so those who are bored with this stuff can rest easy.

-------Viral Tags------------

Host Tag: Technology Music Life

ViralTags Instructions: Once I get a ping back from you, I will add your anchor text and the associated link you designate as "Host Tag" here, replacing one of the "ViralTags" from the matrix above. As more and more bloggers copy and paste this matrix, the more backlinks you will have with your anchor text. If everybody who copies and pastes from your blog does the same, pretty soon this will spread and go viral. So, the sooner you participate, the more links with anchor text you will receive.

-------------------

-------Viral Icons------------

Host Icon:

Viral Icons Instructions:

1.) Copy and paste the matrix of “Viral Icons” below courtesy of Ilker Yoldas from The Thinking Blog. (to support Ilker’s quest of launching his own Internet Startup with a student budget, please consider subscribing to the Full RSS Feed and enjoy interesting posts in the meantime. "Knowledge grows when shared!").
2.) Upload your non-animated favicon (GIF image of size 16x16 pixels) to ImageShack, a similar free image hosting server or to your own server provided by your hosting service if you have one.
3.) Substitute the Host Icon and one of the “Viral Icons” in the matrix with your ALT text of choice and your blog’s URL. Maximum of 3 specific keywords for the ALT text are best for it to be effective.
Here is an example: Example Viral-Icon Code
4.) When you get a ping back from someone that has your icon in one of their “Viral Icons”, practice good karma by copying his/her Host Icon’s code (automatically the associated ALT tag will also be copied) and paste it over one of your “Viral Icons” below.
5.) Invite your readers to do the same and soon this can grow virally.

We'll see if this works any better, and then call it a day.

Yeah, this experiment just seems weird to me. The "***" version just looked messy, and this new one, while easier to visually navigate seems too "busy" for me to want to add to my site. Not that I don't want to link to you ever or anything.

Kent,

The trick is to get int early like you got in on mine at this stage. I just put up my ViralTags post last night and it has been gaining momemtum.

I've just added you on my matrix so you will definitely get more links now. Good luck to you and do visit my blog more often as I have plenty of unqiue contents.

BTW, you forgot to copy and update the "Host Tag".. Nonetheless, I used "Technology Music Life" as anchor text for you.

Cheers,
Jimmy

Man I hate these things. I would never spend the time to click through to any of those, so the whole purpose of them is links for SEO. I'm all for SEO, but I really hate things that are all SEO. I must be getting grumpy from lack of sleep these days.

Anyway, were you able to cut and paste that and have it magically include the links or did you have to hand edit them. That might be why none of the upstream people linked back to you.

Hmm, since you showed up on my technorati list, I guess I was part of the upstream list on Version one. And as with all the others, I linked back to you. Don't know about others, though.

This has worked really well for me.

I'm linking back to you, but you did not provide your host tag with your choice of anchor text - which is the point of the tags. I'll just use Newsome.org as your anchor text then.

Should look at technocrati reactions to see the result. Done well for me at this moment.

Newsome.org i will link-back your site in my post also.

cheer!!!

This thing has made a huge
difference in my Technorati

been in it.

I would certainly have added
you to my ViralTag matrix, but
you're already in there! And I
am already in yours, too.
