Wholinked.com Contest Update

A little over two weeks have passed since we launched our WhoLinked.com contest to see who could move into the top-10 websites linking to Technology Evangelist according to our Wholinked.com report.

Here is where we started on May 10th:

And here is where things stand today:

It's amazing how drastically things have changed in only 17 days. But, it also means there is still time to take a shot at being one of the lucky winners. All it takes is a simple link to www.TechnologyEvangelist.com from your web site to enter.

As I understand it, WhoLinked.com calculates their rankings based on a combination of sites they see ranking high on MSN, Yahoo, and Google. Something about the formula seems to reward fresh links since some of the new results may not have a higher PageRank/link popularity than previous top ranking WhoLinked results.

I'll leave it up to you to decide when is best to add a link in order to appear in the top-10 at the end of the contest. Good luck!

Ed,

Not to burst your bubble, but:

Are you aware that in the top four are two sites for reporting spam abuse and one is a link tracker for Fujitsu? :)

Brendan, I'm aware of what they are. We make the front page of spam.abuse.net whenever we write a spam related article. Ben has had a few articles referenced on Fujitsu, including his Snapscap and Tabnote reviews. The reviews show up on the press pages for those products.

I'm sure neither were influenced by the WhoLinked contest.
