Giving Link Luv To Cool Blog Links Top 10 Members

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 at 3:54 am

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Rewarding Top 10 Members Of Cool Blog Links was a post I did way back in March of this year, and was all about rewarding the top 10 members of Cool Blog Links, my free directory of Cool Blogs. I promised then that I would do an update listing the current top ten members and I reckon that this has been a long time coming.

Things have changed over time, some members dropping off and new ones signing up. I reckon for many, the most important change is that Cool Blog Links has a PR1 which isn’t all that bad seeing that I haven’t done any promotion at all.

Before listing the top 10 I would like to invite others to join, as it still ranks #1 for the search term Cool Blog Links. Not to mention that those who list in the top 10 will get featured in the next update, and when you consider that this is a PR4 blog, getting a mention will mean a very important one way link to your blog.

OK, now for the top 10 members.

So You Want To Be A Banquet Manager: Previously #4 it’s risen to the #1 spot. It’s really a pretty interesting blog about all the things that can happen in a banquet manager’s job. The latest post The Dreaded Wedding Breakfast just goes to show how interesting this job can be.
Gratis Lagu: I’m afraid I can’t tell you too much about this blog because it’s not in English. I think it’s in Indonesian, but at least the latest post, Digital Karaoke Amplifier VS Mixer Karaoke Amplifier, has an English heading.
What A Load Of Bullshit: One of my blogs, has risen from #5 to #3. This blog continues to surprise me as it continues to do well in the SERPs as well as being a good earner.
Work From Home Business Blog: Peter Lees blog is down from #3, but knowing Peter I expect him to creep up again. His latest post, Blog Income and Stats – October 2009, shows how well he is doing.
WassupBlog: Yep, I’ve risen from #7
I’m Just Sharing: This is Mitch’s blog, and as usual Mitch and I are continuously fighting to be ahead of the other. It seems that for now I’m in the lead. Mitch’s last post, Do Images Increase Readership?, is about a test he’s doing as to whether or not images in a post will actually increase readership to a blog.
Expressive World: IS one of the newer members and has already aspired to the top 10 list. Ana, the blogger, is all to do with writing about ‘the gateway to her inner awareness and expressions, her last post AW November Blog Chain 2009: The Art of expressing what is, about a writer’s forum NaNo and Ana’s Writing Survival List.
Scenic Adelaide: Another of my blogs, has remained static, as in it hasn’t moved since the last post. Like my Load Of Bullshit blog, it does pretty well in the SERPS, as most of the traffic is search engine related.
Top Sexual Aids: Considering that this is one of my newest blogs I’m surprised it’s in the top 10 at all. Damn, who am I kidding, it’s not all that hard when you only have 14 members.
Photos 2 Blog: Well, you look at that, another one of my blogs…..that’s two photo blogs in the top 10 that belong to me.

So, that means I have 5 blogs in the top 10, and while I don’t mind being there I wish I had more members to contend with. So what about it guys, why not join and give me some competition. It’s free and perhaps you could be part of the next update.

While it’s free to join, you will require to post a snippet of code on your blog. I have mine in the right side bar. The code will display a small icon which will allow your readers to vote for your blog. Also the top ten blogs will have their ranking displayed in the icon.

The FlexSqueeze Theme gives my blog that professional look. I loved it so much that I bought the developers license. It's the easiest most customizable theme I've come across. See how easy it is to change your theme's appearance! Compare it to Thesis to see how much better it is!

I highly recommend you to get your FlexSqueeze copy today!

Hi Sire,

It’s been sometime since I last visited your blog. Thanks for the mention and looks like you have more blogs now than I last remembered and they are all doing very well. Congratz! Someday I have to learn your secret of maintaining so many blogs and still doing it part time? That’s amazing!

Hey Barbara, don’t wait too long. If I stay in the top ten too much longer I may get a swelled head.

I have a pretty good feeling that your Top Sexual Aids will rise above the rest with ease at some point, I predict Top 3 by February.

Congrats! LOL @ “What a load of bullshit”. Too funny. By the way, I plan to look into your ad publishing thing OIO Publisher for myself, just wanted you to know. Because I know you are very super excited to hear that.

After spending most of the afternoon carefully reading your post on Why I Don’t Comment on Blogger Blogs, I am compelled to comment on the fact that your number one Cool Blog link is indeed a Blogger blog. That said, I now feel the need to go back to that post and join in on the conversation. “See” you there:) BTW, Louise is a Dudette…

Dudette…..that means you’re a sheila, right?

And yes, you are correct, that blog is indeed a blogger blog. Imagine how well it could do if it was hosted on it’s own domain though?

Good morning Sire,
Indeed a fun blog and yes, I can imagine how well it would do on its own domain. It would be such a shame for it to get lost in a shuffle.

I have to say I just had to visit ‘So You Want to be a Banquet Manager’ ~ too funny! Of course I have already visited ‘What a Load of Bullshit’ and {ahem} “Top Sexual Aids’. Yeah, well, I’m home alone all day. lol Okay, skulking back to my corner now.

Somehow Anne, I just can’t see you skulking in the corner. As to the Top Sexual Aids blog, can you offer any opinions, a woman’s perspective, as to how I could improve it?

I didn’t forget about you. I wanted to really give this some thought and thus spent some time checking out the blog. I was once told I have no shame, I took it as a compliment.

I like how you introduce the subject stating it’s for married couples [18 & older]. But most women are prudes.

Ads are important, but maybe if there were a page dedicated to some of the more self-pleasuring types so one could choose to view them or not. Leave the ones specifically for couples and books in the sidebar, etc.

You could include tabs ‘for her’ and ‘for him’. Maybe find a [female] guest blogger. I really like Isabella Snow http://hubpages.com/profile/Isabella+Snow .

Maybe have a form where people can ask questions ~ let them know you will change their names [like Dear Abby does]. This would also provide direction for future posts.

Now, I’m not bringing in traffic by the droves by any means, but those are my thoughts. And you asked.

Thanks so much for doing that Anne, and a lot of what you say makes sense and who knows, I may take some of it on board.

As to the ads in the sidebar, I try to choose those that aren’t too provocative, but unfortunately, that’s the nature of the beast. A his and her page featuring products would solve that problem. Perhaps I could use the squeeze page feature that comes with FlexSqueeze to handle that aspect.

Thanks again Anne, you’re a gem.

Dear Sire,
I am like the first poster Peter here. I have not been here in a while. (Not commented anyway) That is wonderful to see that list and I agree it’s nice to see new people there on it too. Thank you for the mention here, that is a good idea to introduce it to others.
I hope you are well. :)

I am extremely well thanks Ana, and it was nice of you to ask. Are you getting many visits from Cool Blog Links at all?

Dear Sire,
Happy to hear that you are extremely well. :)
The Cool Blog Links doesn’t seem to be in the top referral list, but yesterday I did get a couple of visits from the site, but I think that would be most owed to you for creating this post. :) Thank you.
I have moved the Cool blog link to the bottom of my site, to where I have all my other lists and sites I am part of. Hope that is ok

Of course that is fine Ana. It will track your stats just as well on the bottom as it would on the top. And no need to thank me, you deserved it just for being a member.
