It’s Time To Give Back!
You All Have Been Good To Me
OK guys, as of right now, my Technorati rank is 1,965 and I have you all to that for that!(Technorati glitch) Here is what I’m doing to give back to this amazing blogging community: Each week, I write an article titled Speed Links and I choose which sites to link to from my Top Commentators list on the left sidebar - you want a free linkback? Get involved on this site! You end up getting two linkbacks: One from the Top Commentators list and another from the Speed Link article!
EDIT: I removed the NOFOLLOW tag, so you get linkbacks from comments too!
EDIT 2: I will also submit your article to StumbleUpon!
What Else Can I Do?
- You can write a Speed Links article yourself, I noticed a pretty big jump in traffic from my first Speed Links article! Pick out some blogs you like and link to them! You’ll catch the eye of the blogger and their readers - and, as always, link to me and I’ll link back to you! Since my site is ranked pretty high, you only have something to gain!
- Get involved on Samanathon.com!
- DRT let me know of my raising Technorati rank and I linked to him (look, he just got another one).
- Derek and Jane let me know when my site was down and I linked to them (they each just got another one)!
- If you see a typo, let me know!
- Is there something you want more of, let me know and you’ll get linkbacks!
- Start commenting!
I noticed that, both my rank and traffic, jumped when I got involved in half a dozen sites and you will too - especially if your blog is new or ranked low! Become a regular visitor and commentator and I promise to do whatever I can to help you out - No site reviews or silly contests! It’s my way of “sharing the wealth”! If you think about it: It will only take you a minute or two to get involved on my site and you gain so much in return!
Again, I really do appreciate all of you regular visitors and commentators! As I’ve said before, without all of you, I’d still be ranked 912,223. I just want to give back to the great, supportive blogging community! Thanks again!

Most kind, I like the plug in you have that shows the OS and browser BTW, what is it?
Ill have to come back under Linux and put a few penguins on here
The flags and browsers are part of a much larger plugin called FireStats. It also shows me recent referrals, popular pages, and so much more!
cool…I was going to ask about this too…
Its a shame its not available on its own.
Dont you get stats from your hosting / server then?
That firestats is cool, it picked up the Linux distribution I am using, hadnt expected that.
It really is a great plugin, it returns so much info!
I do get stats from my host, but this is right in my dashboard! My host has to render a pretty graph, this is faster!
Yea firestats is great but I feel its really bloated! Now I don’t know this for a fact, but it creates so many mysql tables and keeps track of every single visitor.. its gotta be!
Well, I know for a fact that its not “bloated”.
the number of tables has nothing to do with the amount of data it stores.
in fact, I would bet hands off that the storage requirements for the current stable (1.2.4) are way less than any other “single table” stats plugin out there.
this is without mentioning the next version, that will add at least 4 more tables, but will _dramatically_ reduce storage usage.
so you can relax, its not bloated now, and it will be much better in the near future.
Now that’s showing the love! This speedlinking thing sure has turned into quite the phenomenon. Got on my last speedlink post too
I saw that, Thanks Leo!
I have enabled dofollow on my sites. This way I can give something back. Hope to see your rank increase from this
Thank Aniela, given any more though to my offer?
I have…I sent you an email…you must not have gotten it ? I’ll send it again
I replied! I’ll send it again!
It keeps going and going and…Thanks for the mention! Always good to see bloggers start up and succeed! Keep it up
Thanks Jane - don’t worry, I’m taking you to the top with me!

Thanks for holding my hands to climb the Technorati ladder.
No worries bud, just doing what I can!
Oh sorry. I didn’t know that the partying part was coming. No, don’t mean to spam.
Just want to tell you how much I love your work.
Don’t worry, that’s a linkback! It just shows me and everyone else that you have linked to this article!
I tried it one night, but I was tried and didn’t have much success. I’ll give it another try soon!
Looks like technorati has gone mad or something, saman. They seemed to have reduced the number of inbound links to 28 for you. At this point in time, that is. Weird?
Yeah, an hour ago it told me that I had no incomming links!
You have more of it now, but still seems lesser than the previous record. I wonder what is happening? *scratches head.
That’s the spirit!
If you link out others will link back to you.
Steve you are good about link ideas, but have not seen you around for some time. Have to check you out and MBL to see what’s going on.
This speedlinking is getting crazy! Well not in a bad way and it makes Hopscotching more fun too! I’m so glad for Tabbed browsing of course
No doubt! I have found a lot of great info from speed links!
Hey, perhaps your speedlinking will become as influential as the ‘Father of Speedlinks’ Darren Rowse. It’s an effective method of getting the cream out to people. There’s just so much information to keep up with everyday now.
You know, I never understood what speed linking was when I read them on Darren’s site - and I don’t know why!
I have never tried speed linking…but…before the night is out?? maybe
Just checked your rank again on Technorati and as of right now your @ 38,347. You’re flying.
Still going strong Saman! I wonder which level you are heading off to next.

Definately going to have to try this speedlinking to see if I can encourage those in my field to be generous in their ‘linkage’.
If you build it…they will come.
[…] There are some great links here this week (why else would I have included them?! ). Before we get to them, I wanted to let you all know that I have set my Top Commentators plugin to show only the comments from the last seven days. I thought that because I ‘m using it to write these Speed Linking articles, it would be fair to have it reset more often then once a month! I guess this means you’ll have to comment more often to get a free linkback! […]

I was doing full reviews but they take time. I like speed linking idea for quick links back and plan to start doing same.
OK, I’m apparently very late on board in reading this article, but thanks a bunch. I’m going to try a real “SpeedLinking” post for my blog in the future.
As always, I appreciate your support for the little guy.
No worries Silver, I am still a Kinda-Small guy myself!
Never too late, i am going to try it on all thee of my blogs, but need to come up with a new name and different day to make it different. Good to see the Man of Silver here too.
Sam’s doing it right.

Great idea and very generous of you! Maybe I should start doing something similar with my site…

I love speed links, instant content, pleases other people, and fun to read other blogs.
BTW, how long did it take you to get from 92K to where you are ranked today? Just curious. I like the speed link idea. I had been told about it from one of your top commentators (JMH aka Jimi Morrison).
Thanks
