» The Z List – It Works! Blog-Op: Opportunities, Opinions, Optimize

I read about this on Dosh-Dosh yesterday, and thought ‘sounds interesting, I’ll give it a go later’. Logged on this morning, and noticed I had 4 more incoming links from blogs I’ve not heard of before – checked them out and they’re all running z-list postings. Now I’ve thought ‘This is VERY interesting-I’m doing it!’.

What’s the idea? It started with Mack Collier of The Viral Garden, who came up with the idea of giving a links boost to us smaller bloggers, the ‘Z List’. As you may know, a blog’s success in terms of visibility really depends on links: more links = higher Technorati & Google Pagerank results = more people finding you.

The premise is simple: Write a post, and copy and paste my list from below into it. Make sure the links are active and correct. If your blog is on that list, remove it because your post isn’t about self-promotion. Don’t worry, because if your name is on mine, it’s on others and will spread. Add your favourite deserving blogs to the top of the list (not compulsory). Publish the post. People will notice the incoming links, and hopefully write their own z-list posts. The result will be that we all get more links pointing to our blogs, and more readers – got to be good!

Key Points

Create a new post on your blog.
Copy and Paste the entire list of blog links below
Add any blogs that you want to include near the top of the list. (Optional)
Include the blog where you first got the list from, on the list in your post.
Do not include your own blog links on the list in your post.
Make sure that all links are copied intact.
Publish the Post.
