Blogroll Amnesty Day - February 3, 2008

In honor of the anniversary of Blogroll Amnesty Day, I'd like to make a recommendation to those liberal bloggers that have very, very high traffic - use a slow day, perhaps a holiday or a sunny Saturday, to post somebody else's blogroll - not as your blogroll, but just as a post.

You see, search engines such as Google use the quality (read popularity) of links to a site to determine their PageRank output on searches. You probably wouldn't actually be sending incredible traffic directly to those blogs, but you'd increase their value considerably in search engines. Plus it helps spread the love amongst the liberal blogosphere, and c'mon, even though you don't owe anybody any love, doesn't it feel good to share it anyways?

It's very simple to do. Go to a blog - I'll use PoliTits's as an example, because she's a great read and her blog lists a lot of blogs that I don't list - http://politits.blogspot.com/

and on your browser, select View, and then Source. That will give you the Source Code. Scroll down to where you see the list of blogs. Often it will start with a UL in code brackets, and each blog preceded by an LI in the same brackets. Copy, then paste in your blog... just as you will see below... (I do admit it cleaning up the code a bit, but not necessary for everyone)

All The Way from Oy to Vey --- American Street --- Angry Ballerina --- Aunt Dahlia --- Bad Astronomy --- Bastard Logic --- Beginning to Bird --- Bitch PHD --- Blondesense --- Blue Gal --- Boxer Rebellion --- Bubs" Sprawling Ramshackle Compound --- Camera Obscura --- Cap"n Dyke --- Capitol Punishment --- Cause for Concern --- Championable --- Church of the Lost Souls --- Coasting Richly --- Comrade Kevin --- Crooks & Liars --- Cup of Coffey --- Dancy"s Corner --- Dashiell --- Davezilla --- DED Zone --- Distributor Cap NY --- Divine Democrat --- Dooce --- Drowning in a Sea of Red --- Drunken Housewife --- Echidne of the Snakes --- Editorials from Hell"s Leading Newspaper --- Electronic Cerebrectomy (Samuraifrog) --- Erudite Redneck --- Feministe --- Feministing --- Fetch Me My Axe --- For This I Went to College --- FranIAm --- Freida Bee --- Get Ur Zs --- Happy Nappy Head --- Hard and Fast --- Hey Freak --- House of the Rising Sons --- Hysterical Raisins --- I Can"t Believe It"s Not a Democracy --- I Never Leave the House Without Incident --- I Was Just Wondering --- I, Splotchy --- Impeachment and Other Dreams --- Johnny Wingnut --- Jonestown by Fairlane --- Kelso"s Nuts --- L"ennui Melodieux --- Last Left Turn B4 Hooterville --- Leigh Ann Taillie --- Lemon Gloria --- Liberality --- Life & Times of NotSoccerMom --- Little Bang Theory --- Lotsa Splainin" 2 Do --- Malnurtured Snay --- Maui Girl"s Meanderings --- Midnight/Noise (Kimono Hime) --- Mike"s Neighborhood --- Miss Welby --- Mock Paper Scissors --- Monkey Mouth --- Monkey Muck --- Morning Martini --- Much That Is Hidden --- mxyzptlk --- My Saturday Evening Post --- My Thinking Spot (SuperGirlest) --- Neural Gourmet --- Nobody Asked --- Not Faint Hearted --- One Pissed of Veteran --- Opinions You Should Have (Tom Burka) --- Otherwhirled --- Pandagon --- Pharyngula --- Phydeaux Speaks --- Pidomon Posts --- Pissed on Politics --- PSOTD --- Pygalgia --- Republic of Sestakastan --- Ribbed for Your Pleasure --- Rickdiculus --- Self Help Center --- Shakespeare"s Sister Archives --- Shakesville --- Sorghum Crow"s General Store --- Suzi Riot --- Tales from the Fourth Corner (beatgirl) --- Tanya Espanya --- Terry Ware --- The Aristocrats --- The Great Endarkenment --- The Largest Minority --- The Needs of the Few --- This Is It --- Under the Bridge --- When Will I Use This? --- Where Is the Outrage --- Whiskey Marie --- Why Now? --- Wyld"s Q & A --- Yikes! --- Zaius Nation --- Zen Cabin

Like I said, it's pretty simple, and if we all did it a few times a year, it would add a lot of value to those linked from the blogroll - and to blogrolls themselves.
