I hear you on getting some recognition back. I think we all strive for that! If I write something good the hope is that others will agree and provide a link to it.

[...] of mine. Our friend Sire wrote a post back in 2009, the most visited post of his blog ever, titled Why I No Longer Link To The Likes Of ProBlogger And John Chow, where he stated that those folks get enough love from others so he’s not going to give them [...]

Good article. So your a kind of Robin Hood of blogging then? I’m all for helping the small blogging gems get more of the recognition they deserve.

Well, he does miss some of those, but he’ll eventually comment on good posts as well.

By the way, I’m still only getting 5 choices of blog posts. :-(

I left a comment on his blog. Looks like he is a real busy bloke, too busy to delete comments like “great post!” I can’t believe he actually replied to that. I would have deleted it.

Funny, I was just checking to see if there was still activity on this particular post and I find this one from earlier today; it’s karma! This Neil Patel guy seems to be the real deal; I’ve subscribed to his blog for the last month. Of course once again he’s more than just a blogger, but his life is definitely an online life and in general I think you’d like him Sire.

Haven’t heard of Niel before but if he takes the time to reply to comments, well, I’m liking him already.

I am right there with you on this one. The only one I still go to is Niel Patel and he does take the time to respond to most if not all comments made on his blog. He is extremely busy but still finds the time. I have also asked him if I could re-post one of his articles and he had no problem and got back to me much quicker than i expected. Its much better when they don’t make you feel like the idiot int he room talking to yourself.

I honestly believe they’re not as good as they used to be. Many of them are using guests posts so much that it’s hard to determine whose blog it really is. I reckon this is because they’re struggling to find new topics and so they rely on others to supply the content.

Fair points. In one way it makes sense to link to the big bloggers because they’re the best at what they do and write naturally linkable content. In another way though it means no one else gets a chance to progress. So I respect your decision.
