Nice idea. I’d love to see a follow-up post in the future about any changes in your ranking.

Great idea to improve upon your Technorati rating. At times building my own rank is like a roller coaster ride, but definitely worth it in the end.

Kuanlyn,

Thanks for adding the links I know I appreciate any links back from fellow travel blogs. Also thanks for making me aware of yours. If you did not link to me I am not sure if i would have found your blog in such a short time period.

True contacting the particpants beforehand might have sped things up a bit however as most of the people on my list did participate I consider my first organized tech meme a great success. Yes it will help in increasing my google pr and technorati rankings but that is secondary to finding other great travel blogs. It is getting to know the community that I am after and not just the links. This just continues to spread and just knowing who else out there is passionate about writing about travel is fine by me.

you can make this scheme successfull if you’ll contact your target participants via email. Most of the successfull link-train organizer do have the long list of blogs that they want to be contacted to participate.

I added your links to my travel blog, Vintage-Tees. Just thought I’d let you know about it. I’m the undiscovered travel blog primarily because I have been lax in posting.

Bryan,

Thanks! so far it is working well. Hopefully this will help to increase the technorati ranking of alot of travel blogs that I like and are well liked in the blogosphere.

That’s an awesome idea.

I hope it works out for you so that you can build your technorati rating!

Cool. Thanks for such a quick reply! Hope to get involved real soon, but have to sort out a few ‘real world’ things beforehand
Regards.

Nath,

Sorry I guess I should have made this a bit clearer. I was attempting to be creative and I guess it is not working out. Since most travel writers do not like to be called geeks I am calling this a link cloud instead of a geek train. The idea is that you, or anyone else, place their favorite travel blogs on this list and that forms the link cloud. Right now it is kind of like a small white puffy cloud off in the distance. There is no score you see other than to offer some link love to those travel blogs you enjoy the most.

Hope this helps. I will try and update the post to make it a bit clearer.
