I picked this up from Luke Hetterman's Hutteman's blog (he's the guy who created the SharpReader RSS Reader, which I use). I don't know how well this will work, since it depends on lots of downstream sites (read below, then it will make more sense). Anyway, here ya go:
There are by some estimates more than a million weblogs. But most of them get
no visibility in search engines. Only a few "A-List" blogs get into the top
search engine results for a given topic, while the majority of blogs just don't
get noticed. The reason is that the smaller blogs don't have enough links
pointing to them. But this posting could solve that. Let's help the smaller
blogs get more visibility!
This posting is GoMeme
4.0. It is part of an experiment to see if we can create a blog posting that
helps 1000's of blogs get higher rankings in Google. So far we have tried 3
earlier variations. Our first test, GoMeme
1.0, spread to nearly 740 blogs in 2.5 days. This new version 4.0 is
shorter, simpler, and fits more easily into your blog.
Why are we doing this? We want to help thousands of blogs get more visibility
in Google and other search engines. How does it work? Just follow the
instructions below to re-post this meme in your blog and add your URL to the end
of the Path List below. As the meme spreads onwards from your blog, so will your
URL. Later, when your blog is indexed by search engines, they will see the links
pointing to your blog from all the downstream blogs that got this via you, which
will cause them to rank your blog higher in search results. Everyone in the Path
List below benefits in a similar way as this meme spreads. Try it!
Instructions: Just copy this entire post and paste it into your blog.
Then add your URL to the end of the path list below, and pass it on! (Make sure
you add your URLs as live links or HTML code to the Path List below.)
