Help Us Get Ranked #1
Landing The Deal is #1 baby!!!!
 

Full disclosure...this is purely self-serving.  Participating will result in no tangible rewards for you, other than the fact that you'll probably find a lot of other cool blogs to read during your already jam-packed days in front of your computer.

Seth Godin has a list/poll going at his Z-List Squidoo lense.  Its a list of interesting blogs, with the ability to vote next to each blog.

Here are your instructions, and they must be followed to a tee or else I will hunt you down one by one and convince each of your bosses to raise your quota:

  • Go to Squidoo's Z-List page.  Just click the link there, Sparky.
  • Find the Landing The Deal link.  As I wrote this, it was at #138...but it could have risen or fallen when you go there.
  • Next to the link, you'll see a little "up" arrow and a little "down" arrow.  You know what to do: Next to Landing The Deal, click on the little "up" arrow.  If you're feeling especially spiteful, you can also click on the little "down" arrow on the links that are right above Landing The Deal.
  • Lets get up to #1!

As I mentioned, this is a huge list of interesting blogs, many of whom you have never heard of.  But you might find one you like, so its worth a look.

On a side note, Seth created this page to create traffic for Squidoo, which he helped create.  It is driving lots of traffic to that website.  Could you create something similar for your business?  Your company?  Your product?  Imagine how your sales might be impacted if lots of people flocked to your blog, your Squidoo lens, or your online newsletter.

Think about it...
