As mentionned yesterday, I submitted my blog to 1000tags to try to get a free tag. And guess what? There it is (that was FAST!), under the mention “Best Blog”. Click on it, you’ll come back here
Ok… my blog might not the best one (maybe only the second best ), but i wanted to have a chance to be pointed out. And most of all i wanted a tag good enough to make some experiment and see if this brings quality traffic. It looks for now this is the case. I am measuring time spent and number of page views.
Yesterday there was only about 25 tags, today it is about 120. “Best Blog” my tag seems to be the 110th one if i analyze correctly the tracking URL (1000tags.com/stc/110). How many of them are paid/ free? I guess we’ll know that later, in their blogs (not open yet)
I guess they will reach 1000tags in a week at this pace. If you want to have a chance to have a free tag, just write an honnest post about 1000tags and send them: here is how to do it.
I hate to say it, but a similar effort, that is a copy (or not so copycat? seems a bit original) is already on the run. The truth is that the concept is a lot better. The guys who did this propably know what a tag is... it is at http://www.forevertags.com .
Anyway, to tell you the truth, I kind of dislike the concept of "1000 only, 1 million only" and so on. It just gives an expiration date to the whole concept. The only traffic this site gains, is by curius (like bloggers ;-) ) who are dazzled by the MDH success, and would love to see it happen again.
Anyway, I am in no way affiliated with the forevertags.com website, and honestly, if you think so dont publish/delete this comment. (this sentence is allways present!)
