2000 Bloggers Project Takes Over the World

Most great (successful) marketing campaigns are gimmicks of one kind or another. After all, what does a lizard or a caveman have to do with car insurance? How often will a guerilla get a hold of your luggage? Or why would a polar bear love Coke? Marketing is all about the gimmick. Budweiser did a great commercial for the superbowl one year when the Clydesdale horses were playing foot ball. Again, nothing to do with beer but a great gimmick that got people talking (and thinking) about the Bud commercial.

Mark,

Silly, maybe, maybe even a gimmick, but participating in other parts of the blogosphere is part of having a blog. If you're just looking to get people outside the blogosphere, you're better off putting a content management system on your site. You'll still get all the benefits of RSS with none of the pesky blog-like action.

Of course, on the other hand, if a population with a mean income that is reportedly above $50k and includes those who are tech-savvy with disposable income appeals to you, well, some of the silly blogosphere maybe of interest to you. Good luck in your journey,

Martin, if you have, let me know.

Garret,

Technorati blocked a lot of the links from counting towards you, even though linking to the faces was something only about 10% of those participating did, and was not one of the requirements. So don't look forward to any boosts in ranking necessarily, though traffic-wise you might see it.

Jon,

You'd have to ask the organizers, which I've linked to.

"Thanks",

Have you tried any of the tips under the link at the top of the page "how to get free traffic"? What kind of site do you have? Do you have a leads capture system? Are you blogging or not? Do you use RSS at all? You don't go to the doctor and say "fix me" without at least telling what your symptoms are. :)

"Connecticut",

Smile on.

Your site has made me smile :-)

It has been two months and I am still trying to increase the traffic to my web-site. The only solution that seems hopeful at this point is to pay for advertising. Do you have any other suggestions?

Seems like a silly gimmick to me - is it really the point to be recognized among a bunch of other bloggers?

I would much rather have people outside the "blogosphere" paying attention to what I write than someone who probably reads dozens of blogs a day and doesn't have the time or interest to frequent mine...
