No Need To Attract A-Bloggers Attention
Many bloggers try their utmost to attract attention from A-bloggers. No need for that. Some A-bloggers just come to you!
Yesterday, Darren Rowse of Problogger conducted a nice experiment on Twitter. He asked his followers to nominate their best post from the last week with a URL and Title and promised to ‘Re-Tweet’ the best of them. Hoping that it might inspire readers to see what a variety of other bloggers have put together in the last week.
I was very happy to be one of them.
Seems to me that was a great success. In just a couple of minutes there were 50 nominations and it became impossible for Darren to ‘re-tweet’ them. So instead he created a blog post, listing them all.
Darren then kindly asked to promote the submissions and I’m happy to do just that right here. Below is a great collection of the best recent posts from great bloggers. Read them and enjoy!

Yeah I thought this was a good idea too. I like the way Darren is interacting with his Twitter audience, it’s giving me ideas for similar things to try.
Hola from Spain! ( We winter in Spain & I loved seeing your house here).
Thanks for your post and link! I am glad this gave me a chance to visit your cool site and say hello!
I never get attention from A list bloggers. Anyway, look like this way is doing well with Darren. Going to join twitter later on, thanks steven.
Louiss
@Caroline Looking forward to your ideas!
@soultravelers3 I’m in the neighborhood of Alicante, you’re more south I guess?
@Louiss How about writing about more interesting topics than coupon codes? And it would certainly help if you use the correct first name of the blogger!
