Even More Link Leaks From Simplenomics

Day 3 Of The Link Leak Virus

Time to kick this thang up a few notches. I’ve linked to a few bloggers that I was sure would jump in and help push this puppy along, but it ain’t happening, so I might as well send the Link Leak Virus out to a couple of bloggers who just might spread it and to at least one blogger that I’ll almost guarantee that you haven’t read yet.

First off, I’m gonna take the Link Leak Virus across the border to Canada’s Bad Boy of Marketing. This bloggin’ dude will be releasing a niche marketing guide any day now and he’s a very entertaining blogger, mostly because stuff just happens around him.

Next I’m gonna introduce you to someone that my server logs say has sent me 22 visitors so far this month. That’s a little over 4 per day. Not big, but I wish I had 2500 people like that linking to me !

Here’s a little quandry for you, I have no idea why he chose to link to me. He doesn’t have an email contact address on his blog or I’d ask him.

I read about 12 of his posts while ago and I’m interested in almost every piece of software he’s produced and he looks like someone with whom I’d like to do a joint venture product with. He’s smart, easy to read and extremely informative about SEO and how we can use some statistical analysis to increase our readership.

Maybe we could do a Simple Guide To Increasing Your Blog’s Readership or something. You know I like simple.

Gotta get him to fix those Permalinks though, or tell me why he’s not using the super-duper one’s most of us who think we know something use.

So head on over for another Link Leak Virus recipient and be ready to learn more in minutes than you’ve learned in the last year !

Two down and one to go…which way should I lean ? North ? Been there. Done that. East ? Not yet. West ? Maybe next week. South ! That’s the only way to take this train ! Due south to Alabama !

The next recipient of the Link Leak Virus is a partner of mine on Office Freaks ! My wife linked to his wife today while spreading the Link Leak Virus for me and I can’t let my man not get all slathered up with a little bit-o-virus !

So without further ado, let me introduce you to a fine blogger, a real strong individual, not to mention a dude that’s been there for his woman, thru thick and thin, sickness and in health and is gonna come out on top of the pile-o-life ! The Link Leak Virus is now officially on him and has spread to Alabama.

Need a primer on Link Leak ? This is a link that’ll take you to the very definition of what link leak is.

This Link Leak is looking contagious. It’s going to get very noisy soon. :)

Hey Mike,

Sorry, I did four links today, and added another one to help someone out.

Then, I asked if anyone felt left out to let me know and I would add them as well.

I know you don’t want this to spread too fast, so I’ll wait until tomorrow for more (unless someone asks).

Curious - “link leak virus” (with the quotes) still does not show up in standard Google, BUT is showing in Google’s Blog search (13 results). Are people pinging after they post I wonder?

Hey Eric,

Some of the bloggers who are joining in aren’t able to ping, aren’t wise to the tags thing, aren’t using link leak virus as their anchor text, etc.

BUT they are trying hard to help and that’s more important to me than the efficiency of their actions.

I appreciate your links, pings, tags and the sheer fact that you joined in, which is what we’re after.

I hope noone uses this as an excuse to link lazily, but uses it as a means to an end, that being fee form, open source, unmitigated ( I can’t think of any more cliches ) link love being spread amongst those of us who aren’t link hoarders !

As for Google and technorati, well, they’re gonna be a day or so behind at all times and this here thang just jumped this weekend. Look for it to go bazonkers next week !

If everyone who gets bit bites 3 more, within 2 weeks it will be at it’s pinnacle. Maybe third week will be better, maybe going down by then.

I’m basing that on what happened to Chris Pearson’s Indie Virus over at http://www.pearsonified.com, which is where I got this idea and waited for the time to spring it.

This didn’t just occur to me a couple of days ago.
