ClappingTree’s Web 2.0

MAYBE I SHOULD BE REJOICING, but I’m not. I’m in fact rather dismayed that a number of Internet marketers have been compiling and re-compiling lists of blogs that apparently use DoFollow and therefore have been linking to my blog just because I had announced earlier that I used the DoFollow plugin. As a result, my Technorati Authority has been rising somewhat and the funny thing is: I’m not pleased at all.

For the information of those who are compiling or reading these D-Lists: I’m currently using the LinkLove plugin and have set “$allpassion_comment_count” to a value of “10″. Yes, “10″. Therefore, you need to post a minimum of 10 moderated (read “meaningful”) comments before there’ll be a link to your blog.

Thank you truly for your links. I mean this — it does feel good to see the Authority number rising. However, I also feel phoney to see the same number rising. Therefore, I very much prefer that you link to my blog or posts because you like or appreciate something I write here and NOT because of a plugin I use or that you think you can get a link in return. Much thanks in advance.
