Help Make Blogs More Visible!

There are by some estimates more than 3 million weblogs. But most of them get no visibility in search engines. Only a few “A-List” blogs get into the top search engine results for a given topic, while the majority of blogs just don’t get noticed. But this posting could solve that. Let’s help the smaller blogs get more visibility!

This posting is GoMeme 4.0. So far we have tried 3 earlier variations. Our first test, GoMeme 1.0, spread to nearly 740 blogs in 2.5 days. This new version 4.0 is shorter, simpler, and fits more easily into your blog.

Why are we doing this? We want to help thousands of blogs get more visibility. How does it work? Just follow the instructions below to re-post this meme in your blog and add your URL to the end of the Path List below. As the meme spreads onwards from your blog, so will your URL. Your blog will be part of the pat for everyone downstream from you. That way they can see where they got this message from. Everyone in the Path List below benefits in a similar way as this meme spreads. Try it!

Instructions: Just copy this entire post and paste it into your blog. Then add your URL to the end of the path list below, and pass it on! (Make sure you add your URLs as live links or HTML code to the Path List below.)

Path List
1. Minding the Planet
2. (your URL goes here! But first, please copy this line and move it down to the next line for the next person).

(NOTE: Be sure you paste live links for the Path List or use HTML code.)

    Some interesting google results now.
    “HMBMV!” is at 3000 results with 280 showing.
    This is down from previous results.
    Google is starting to drop older listings form the results.
    The branching of nodes was interesting. Basically, the Gomeme branched a few times in the beginning, then more near the end, but has not branched at all in the middle.
    Based on this search:
    #. (your URL goes here! But first, please copy
    For # = 2-29 google shows these results.
    # total shown
    2 18 2
    3 120 20
    4 127 22
    5 152 28

    28 2 1
    29 4 4
    Future branching after the next PageRank and backlinks update on Google may show an entirely different pattern but for now, it is a very peculiar distribution.

    The drop-off in results at Google continues with only 282 of about 2,390 showing.

    Is anyone analyzing and visualizing Gomeme 4.0?
    The method used in the Gomeme 1.0 analysis might work but it looks like the data gathering needs to support less than 1000 results per query.
    Searching for
    2. (your URL goes here! But first, please copy
    then
    3. (your URL goes here! But first, please copy
    then
    4. (your URL goes here! But first, please copy
    and so forth up to about
    30. (your URL goes here! But first, please copy
    will gather the data points but that also includes some duplicates and garbage items.
