Signal vs noise

Started a blog
How do you find interesting sites in a web where 99.9% is tripe from newbies or spammers.
I recently joined a blogger network. Blogs really are the Geocities of today for anyone familiar with how things worked a dozen years ago. The problem is blogspam, the amount of people that blog for money, who think they can earn a quick buck by copypasta-ing stuff from all over the web and posting it as original ‘content’.

Speed linking

Here’s something interesting that’s worth a try. Getting links to your site is good and improves your ranking. So how do you get more links fast? Simple;
- Copy the links below into a new post (make sure you have the visual text editor turned on in your profile so you can paste them as links instead of text)
- Add a link to your own site
- Write a bit about the joys of speed linking or as it’s also called viral linking, and publish.
As I get pinged by your site I’ll update the list and add you to the current list and so everyone gets a boatload of free and good backlinks.
In addition to that you can also leave a comment here just to make extra sure I won’t miss the ping.
