How much traffic can your blog generate? Find out…
A week ago I asked Biznik members to return a favor that we’re doing for you already by adding a link to Biznik.com from your website or blog. Today I’m announcing a fun sweetener to the deal, to encourage those of you sitting on the fence to add that link (c’mon, it’s easy - grab the code here). It’s called the Top 10 Members list, and it’s a running tally of who is referring the most traffic to Biznik. Actually, that went up a week ago - what’s new today is that if you’re in the Top 10 list, a graphic badge will now automatically appear on your profile page with your rank prominently displayed. So anyone looking at your profile will immediately know to snap to attention and salute your skill, good looks and popularity.
It’s been fun to watch the list changing over the past week. I was comfortably in first place when I launched this feature last week (granted, I did have a bit of head start), but Seattle real estate blogger Dustin Luther is closing in fast - he is poised to dethrone me before the end of the day at the rate he’s going. Wanna see how your site stacks up? Find out how much traffic your blog can generate - and feel good about helping a business networking group that doesn’t suck get ranked in Google.
Oh, and guess what? Your links seem to be making a difference already, because Biznik started showing up in the Google index over the weekend. If you search for “business networking” on Google today, Biznik comes up #33 in the results. That’s fantastic, considering we haven’t even been in the index with that term at all up until now. But I’m confident we can be in the top 10 with a little help from you. Here’s how you can help.
