Who Links to You?

I found this site (wholinkstome) and decided to give it a try.

Look up site:

Now displaying links to: eelkat.wordpress.com

Alexa Traffic Graph for eelkat.wordpress.com

Summary of results:


 eelkat.wordpress.com

Wel, I found that very informative. Wow! MSN found 3,026 links! I do know that the Blogrolling on came up wrong, because I know of at least 4 blogs that have Star Log in their blogrolls, so this scrore result isn’t entirly accurate.

Try it out with your site, and see how many are linking ti you!

~~EK

Who links to me?

Featured “Blog of the Minute”!

I couldn’t believe it when I signed into WordPress just now, and saw Star Log on their frount page as The Featured Blog of the Minute! Wow! That is so cool! So, does anyone know, how does a blog get choosen for that honor? How did I get there? What did I do right? I want to know so I can do it again. Twice in February we got featured on the Fastest Growing Blog list… once at 72, and a wekk later at 24. I know how that rank came: by how many visitors you get per every 6 hours. But I don’t know how Star Log got to have it’s picture of the home page of WordPress.

~~EK

Share the Link Love

As you know I’m a regular reader of ProBlogger, it’s prob’ly the blog I read more than any other; it’s certainly the one I talk about most often here on Star Log. Well, today I was reading this post on ProBlogger, and of course it lead me to reading the links in it, includeing this one.

Oh my! I don’t think anyone would accuse me of being a link nazi!

I love surfing the blogs out there, and everytime I find one that I want to go back and read again I always forget where they are and can’t find them again…

I solved that problem though… the way I figure it, if I like the blog enough to go back and read it again, than people who like my blog, prob’ly well want to read it too, so I write a post about the blog, which contains a link to it, and than I add it to my blogroll… today my blog roll has over 100 links in it, it’s by far the biggest blog roll I’ve ever seen on a blog, but at least now I don’t lose my way back to blog I like to read.

well, an unexpected side effect of doing this is that a few days after adding my long blog roll I checked my Technorati rank, and was shocked to learn that I had gone from being in the millions up to being 200,000 that was quite switch…

well I come to find out, that several of the blogs I had added to my blogroll, had in turn added me to theirs, I was not expecting that, but that’s what did it… when I added them to mine, it raised their rank, and they did me the same favor…

WOW! You see at the time I started doing this, I didn’t know about pingbacks, I had never heard of them before, so I didn’t know that everytime I talked about a blog I liked, my blog sent them a copy of my article, so each time I sad something nice about them, they knew I had said it, only I didn’t know that was happening, so I didn’t know that the blogs I was talking about knew about my blog… well long story short, I found a great way to do link exchange and I wasn’t even trying!

Blogs for Writers

 

I’m planning on doing an update for my Z-List for writers. I’ll be posting the new edition in the next week or so. For now I am searching the net for blogs geared for writers, blogs by writers, blogs about the writing life, blogs that give writing lessons, and other such blogs that would be of interest to novelists everywhere. While most of the blogs I have added thus far are blogs that I read, I am looking for suggestions. What I mean is: If you are a writer and you have a blog for other writers, feel free to leave a comment on this post with a link to your blog so I can check it out. If it fits the type of blog I’m looking for, I’ll add it to the next edition of The Z-List for Writers. I look forward to reading your blogs.

For those of you who don’t know what The Z-List is, here is an explaination:

Like the chain letter, the Z-List contains addresses, but it differant in that it never asks you to buy anything. You don’t even have to buy a stamp. The Z-List is the chain mail for bloggers. It gets a blog pingbacks and inbound links, and helps to send more traffic to the blog, hopefully traffic that well stay on to become regular readers.

Anyone can start a Z-List. It’s easy. Just take a list of Blogs which you enjoy reading, and put them in a post on your own blog. Some say not to add your Blog to the list, while others say to go ahead and put your Blog right on the top of the list. Well, it’s your Blog and your list so you can put links to any Blog you please in it.

With the list you leave a message, asking that the next person to read this post, copies it and pastes it into the next post they make on their own Blog. They are free to add as many Blog links to the list as they like, and they are welcome to remove any links that are already in the list, if they feel that theose Blogs are inappropiate to be linked back to their own Blog.

Most Z-Lists start out with five or ten links, but after being passed on to just ten more bloggers, that Z-List can quickly have 100 or more links in it. The advantage of this is, that for each post, that each Blog in each link, well recieve a ping-back for that post. In other words, their Blog becomes linked to your Blog and your Blog to thiers, making it a win-win situation for both your Blog and their Blog, by raising the inbound link ranking with such places a Technorati and Google, meaning that you Blog moves higher in the ranks on search engins, resulting in more people finding your Blog and giving you more readers. Great huh? Absolutely!

P.$.

I only accept family friendly blogs into my Z-Lists, so blogs that promote sex, porn, hate, racism, violence, hunting, guns, drugs, and other such acts are never added to any of my Z-Lists. If after addition to one of my Z-Lists, I later find that such posts and links have been added to the blog, the blogs link well be removed from all of my Z-Lists.

Please note, that spam posts are deleted automaticlynow, cause I got sick of scrolling through dozens of Porn and sex posts. Blogs that are about or link to sex or porn sites are automaticle scanned and deleted and I never even see them at all now, sobe sure your blog has no sex or porn on it or linked to it, before you post it, because it well never be reviewd if it does.

  

This is the Z-List for Writers as it originally appeared. As you can see, it was thrown together as I read the blogs, with no rhymn nor reason. The new edition, well be in alphabetical order.

Weirdly Wednesdays: A Bird that Eats Cars.

I just came across this and thought it was a good idea:

Weirdly Wednesday

 weirdly wednesday

You can find “Weirdly Wednesday” posts at these sites:

1) http://atlindas.wordpress.com
2) http://fracas.wordpress.com 
3) …



Want to join us in Weirdly Wednesdays? Here’s how it works.
On Wednesdays, post a “Weirdly Wednesday” post… a weird site, the weirdest search term in your stats, something from Hollyweird. Whatever.    Link to www.atlindas.wordpress.com  — Let me know and I’ll link back to you.

and so, here is my addition to the weirdness for this day:
The two-foot long bird called a Kea that lives in New Zealand likes to eat the strips of rubber around car windows!

Kea – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1856

Kea have red feathers under the wings

Kea have red feathers under the wings

Habitat & Nutrition

Keas range along the whole South Island of New Zealand, yet they are closely bound to the southern beech (Nothofagus) forests in the alpine ridge. In one study nest sites occur at a density of 1 per 4.4km². Nest sites are usually positioned on the ground underneath large beech trees, in rock crevices or dug burrows between roots. They are accessed by tunnels leading back 1m to 6m into a larger chamber, which is furnished with lichens, moss, ferns and rotting wood. The laying period starts in January and reaches into July (Jackson 1960). As omnivores, Kea are known to feed on more than 40 plant species (Tab. 1), on beetle larva, meat and foods provided by humans. Keas have also been taking advantage of human garbage and “gifts”. In captivity, these birds are very fond of butter, all forms of nuts, apples, carrots, grapes, mangos, figs, bread, dairy products, ground meat and even pasta. When roaming around, They might even chip paint the roofs of cars (if cars are near) and eat that.

Thinking Blogger Awards

I was just reading THIS POST on THIS BLOG, and thought it was such a great idea that I had to copy the post over to here, so that I could keep it for future referance… it gave me some new ideas on blog promotion, now I must go work on that.

Thinking Blogger Awards

March 2nd, 2007 by womensspace

Thinking Blogger Award

I am a normally a conscientious objector to the “meme” or “tagged” thingy :P , but I kinda like the idea of the “Thinking Blogger Award,” and since Witchy-Woo tagged me, I figured, why not, just this one time.  )

These are the rules:

1. If/when you get tagged, write a post with links to five blogs that make you think.

2. Also link to this post so that readers can track the meme to its origins.

3. If you want, display the ‘Thinking Blogger Award’ on your blog with pride – and a link to the post you wrote to pass it on.

Of course, there are far more than five blogs which make me think! Everybody who blogs and posts here makes me think!  Everybody who posts here and doesn’t have a blog makes me think! But here goes anyway.

Ballastexistenz  Reading Amanda Baggs’s writings at Ballastexistenz has been and is an ongoing experience of consciousness-raising for me.  Her posts and comments about language, coercion, medicine, psychology, her day-to-day life  as an autistic woman,  are a goldmine.  They continually challenge, provoke and inspire me.  I know Amanda is tired right now because of recent media publicity, and I hope being tagged will be a welcome and energizing diversion as opposed to a burden! 

Radical Goddess Theology  I really appreciate Athana’s thoughtful, interesting and educated writings about the dangers of male deities to all life, about saving the planet, and about the centrality and primacy of unconditional love as modeled by female deities.   I love her writings about mutuality, gifting and gift economies, matriarchy (as not an “-archy” at all), consensus decision-making,  and the importance of bringing the day of the male bully gods to an end.

Stanselen  I am really appreciating Jo, who is an anarchafeminist.  I’ve connected with a couple anarchafeminists recently online, have added them to my blogroll and vice versa, and I am loving reading them!  There’s an old Second Wave article around somewhere in which the author says something like, “Anarchy is the theory, radical feminism is the practice.”  So true!  I connect so well with these women’s writings because at their core, our views are so much the same.  I’ve got a blog post fomenting about anarchy and am looking forward to writing it, thanks, in part to reading Jo and her sister anarchafeminists.

Midwife: Sage Femme This is the beautifully-written blog of a  homebirth midwife who is lesbian mother.  She and her partner are raising their three children together.  I so appreciate Sage Femme’s compassionate, respectful, woman-honoring writings, her amazing birth stories, her counsel in the tradition of wise woman healers and mystics, and her practical, down-to-earth advice.

Amy’s Brain Today  Amy and her partner, Kya, are radical feminist lesbian separatists whose writings and photographs never fail to inspire and teach me, whether they’re writing about the oppression of women,  their land dyke oddyssey, womyn’s community, war tax resistance, woman-only space, radical feminist sexuality, radical feminist history or theory, whatever they write about, they write as thoughtful revolutionaries committed to living the dream in all of its mundane, difficult, frustrating, challenging, heady and nourishing glory.  I’m so glad you two are in the world!  You give me so much hope.

Well, I could go on like this forever.  I would have liked to include Professor Zero, Chasing Moksha, Shannon at Egotistical Whining,  Twisty, Sokari at Black Looks, Trula Mama, Womanish Words, Tiyospayenow, Uppity, Rural Womyn, Ginmar, Compartments, Ann Bartow, Heather, argh, there are way too many women who make me think!  But I have to follow instructions, so those are my five.  )

Heart

This is kind of a lot like my “beloved” Z-Lists crossed with web reviews… such a great thing to do!

The Z-List, EK Edition 2.0: The Ultimate A-Z-List: Update

Because there are so many links in the A-Z-List, all in one post, the scrpit keeps coming back with a coding error, and loads the page incorrectly. As a result, the links blend together as a one long solid link instead of several. So I am updating the list, so that each letter has it’s own list. Watch for them to show up here soon!

The Z-List, EK Edition 2.0: The Ultimate A to Z-List

Note: I am editing this post, so that it’s an a-z list…. 

Still researching Z-Lists… well, this time I searched Google for Z-Lists, and now I’m going to post the longest Z-List you well find any where! :)

Copy This entire  post to your blog, for inclusion in this The Ultimate Z-List!The Z-List: A great wonderful idea to help advertise blogs. Yes? Yes. I think anyone who has used the Z-List well agree with that. The principle behind the Z-List is the same as a chain letter. In a chain letter, you mail a letter to five people. One that letter is the addresses of five more people. Each person who recieves a letter, adds five new addresses, and sends those to the five addresses on the letter that they had recieved. The piont of a chain mail is to send the same letter to an ever increasing network. Useualy the letter is an advertisement for something being sold. Basicly it’s a lot of free advertiseing for a company, based on “word of mouth”.

Like the chain letter, the Z-List contains addresses, but it differant in that it never asks you to buy anything. You don’t even have to buy a stamp. The Z-List is the chain mail for bloggers. It gets a blog pingbacks and inbound links, and helps to send more traffic to the blog, hopefully traffic that well stay on to become regular readers.

The Z-List, EK Edition 1.0: Blogs for Writers

The Z-List: A great wonderful idea to help advertise blogs. Yes? Yes. I think anyone who has used the Z-List well agree with that. The principle behind the Z-List is the same as a chain letter. In a chain letter, you  mail a letter to five people. One that letter is the addresses of five more people. Each person who recieves a letter, adds five new addresses, and sends those to the five addresses on the letter that they had recieved. The piont of a chain mail is to send the same letter to an ever increasing network. Useualy the letter is an advertisement for something being sold. Basicly it’s a lot of free advertiseing for a company, based on “word of mouth”.

Like the chain letter, the Z-List contains addresses, but it differant in that it never asks you to buy anything. You don’t even have to buy a stamp. The Z-List is the chain mail for bloggers. It gets a blog pingbacks and inbound links, and helps to send more traffic to the blog, hopefully traffic that well stay on to become regular readers.

Anyone can start a Z-List. It’s easy. Just take a list of Blogs which you enjoy reading, and put them in a post on your own blog. Some say not to add your Blog to the list, while others say to go ahead and put your Blog right on the top of the list. Well, it’s your Blog and your list so you can put links to any Blog you please in it.

With the list you leave a message, asking that the next person to read this post, copies it and pastes it into the next post they make on their own Blog. They are free to add as many Blog links to the list as they like, and they are welcome to remove any links that are already in the list, if they feel that theose Blogs are inappropiate to be linked back to their own Blog.

Most Z-Lists start out with five or ten links, but after being passed on to just ten more bloggers, that Z-List can quickly have 100 or more links in it. The advantage of this is, that for each post, that each Blog in each link, well recieve a ping-back for that post. In other words, their Blog becomes linked to your Blog and your Blog to thiers, making it a win-win situation for both your Blog and their Blog, by raising the inbound link ranking with such places a Technorati and Google,  meaning that you Blog moves higher in the ranks on search engins, resulting in more people finding your Blog and giving  you  more readers. Great huh? Absolutely!

Well, I only just discovered the Z-List earlier this week. and searching for more Z-Lists had lead me to one conclusion: most of them are just randomly thrown together with no rhyme nor reason, and so comes my idea for Keyword Specific Z-Lists or links to blogs all on a single topic.

The first of these I shall call:
