MMO Friends

July 10, 2008 By: Justin | 2 comments

During my months being active in the MMO community, I’ve met and gotten to know several bloggers. I’ve learn about several other great bloggers, even if I don’t communicate with them directly. This week Griz made a post about the need for us to all support each other. There is a solid core group of 10 to 20 bloggers who know their stuff. We should work together to help each other out. I don’t mean a link scheme, but simply showing each other more link love.

Here are the two posts Griz made about it:

Basically, I’m putting together a list of “friends” that includes everyone in our “group”.  I think it would be a great resource not only for us, but for our readers as well. Its a list of trusted bloggers who we know, who deserve exposure for their content.

This is NOT for link or serps manipulation. Everyone on the list is already friends and knows each other. What I suggest is this. When you write a post, consider coming to the list and finding a related post on one of the sites and cite it in your post. This does three things. It provides your readers extra information from a trusted source. It helps out your friend by increasing their sites exposure, giving them traffic, and providing them with a quality link. Lastly, it will improve your relationship with other bloggers. Griz, Court, and Vic have received great success from their relationship. There is no reason 3 other bloggers on this list cannot form a similar relationship. We can all work together to promote out sites. Not to manipulate rankings, but to increase the exposure of our form of MMO, which is to debunk all the BS and seriously help people. Court, Griz, and Vic have their plates full, but there are several of us are qualified enough to help teach and help other bloggers enter the world of blogging, mmo,and im.

I don’t want to take credit for this, this is Griz’s thing, but I wanted to help build the list.

I’m going to name off some of the major players and link to their site I will link to their recent posts and ping everyone to come to this list. I want everyone to look over the list and leave a comment on any corrections or additions that need to be made to the list. Let me know who is missing and leave a link to their blog. Once everyone has had a chance to add to the list, I’ll send it on to Griz for him to post on his site.

You’ll be able to access the list to find several respectable and trustworthy bloggers. Not only is this a good resource for us as bloggers, but also a good resource to share with anyone new to MMO. If a person says, “how do I make money online”… simply point them at the list.

And before someone jumps in about reciprocal linking being useless, check out my post: Link Exhanges That Work

I’m not talking about link manipulation or sitewide links. I’m talking about deeplinking to each others posts, but only when it is relevant and applies to your topic. If someone on this list has a useful post on a subject, consider linking out to their post. This is about providing our readers with useful links to alternate resources, but applying these links as contextual keyword anchor links to help out your friend. Everyone benefits. Your readers, your blog, and the person you link to. Even Google benefits because your provide them with a link to another quality post on the same topic.

If someone needs to be added to this list, drop a comment. I’ll put together a final list.

Will watch this one with interest Jason!

I take out of this the useful reminder that we need to support those we expect to support us.

I think too it will help us all to grow out of where we are if we purposefully support and link to those few who know what they are talking about; and it will help to refine the present mish-mash of gurus and would-be gurus all purporting to offer the ‘definitive answer for SEO and MMO’. I hope that if we do this, the quality will bubble up to the top.
