I don’t care about how many times my name shows up on google but for example how often RGS shows up on Google or Technorati, that would be a different story. Would love to show off that number, but only as long it only increases … he he!

While in earlier times richness and importance were equal to the amount of money or jewels someone possessed, in a post information society it’s the attention you get from the worlds people, that counts. Being in people’s mind means being important, whether they think about you in a positive way our not doesn’t matter. And what people have in their mind is what they read in the media. In the future this will mean, what they read/see on the net. Every content creator that copies and pastes your name will rise the value of your virtual mirrored importance.

And there is a hard mechanical algorithm on the net, that extremely objectively measures your appearance, it’s called Google and has already passed the "line of no return" (Bruce Sterling). In most job interviews the personnel manager will already use this machine to check your importance and have a look at the first answers this mirror tells about you. Your mirror identity strikes back on your chances in the real world.

Isn’t that accent cute?

Will Random Good Stuff be next?

Shortly after I published the "Linkbait Friday" campaign yesterday RGS reader Mike left this this comment:

I dont wanna spoil the fun, but this kinda linkbait got john chow banned from google

Thanks to that I could not sleep … all night I was thinking "Will RGS be banned from Google because of Linkbait Friday?"

So I decided to take a closer look in the case of John Chow:

Read his very first blog post in December 2005 here.

And Shortly after his traffic went:

In December 2006 he decided to run a LinkBaiting Campaign and he offered every blog reviewing his site in context of making money blogging a link to the reviewers site. Random Good Stuff could not resist

Well he got banned from Google for that … Chris Hemphill got the whole scoop.

Did John Chow suffer because of that? Not at all .. as you can see in the graph above.

See for yourself and google search John Chow … no link to his site.

Now, high up in the results is John Cow and as you can see that sites shows up on the first google page. That witty webmaster took advantage of John Chow’s ban and is guiding lost sheep in the search of John Chow to his site. With great success as you can see:

WOW!

Bastard .. lol

Now back to RGS … John Chow might be able to survive a ban from Google ….. Random Good Stuff probably won’t so now the question will my Linkbait Friday get me into trouble with Google? Please Vote:

In my case I am not asking for a review about RGS with a specific anchor text. I am offering my content and ask for a via: link and every Friday I want to link to everyone taking part in a thank you post with a link to their site. Is that really that bad?

Looking especially forward to get Feedback from following Dot Com Moguls:

• John Chow
• John Cow
• ProBlogger
• Daily Blog Tips
• Dosh Dosh
• Self Made Minds
• ShoeMoney

If you have any input you can back up feel free to post them as a comment. And until further notice I will put my Linkbait Friday on hold, don’t feel like getting banned … yet

A splash of this on any geek should increase his results on the keyword “girls”.

My bro and I were bored so we made a game where we try to find the longest distance going through the atlantic. The farthest we’ve gotten so far is from Unalaska, AK, USA, to Gamvik, Norway at 11,566 miles and 36 days 8 hrs. Can you make a longer one?

RGS was for the longest time  PR 4 but since yesterday it’s a juicy 6! Not sure what will bring that … I am wondering if Google will send me more search engine hits.

Maybe RGS made the page rank jump because of it’s new flashy looks … he he just kidding.

Please let me know if you like something or dislike … and if you dislike something, let me know how I can make it look better.

Hugs to all my readers.
