Hey, Chris. They put a ton of work into this version of the Z-List. Links with descriptions, how cool! Thanks for sharing it.
Hi Chris, I like the format you used here to replay the Z-list meme. Though I like the boxes, some blogs are not wide enough to contain them. Thanks for the link love.
Thanks for the link.
WOW! This is a great addition, Chris! Thanks for the hard work
Thanks for linking to Make It Great. It's always fun to see how cool memes take off in the blogosphere.
Thanks so much for publishing this with my link! Just wanted to let you know that this blogger in Marrakech appreciates it!
Chris:
A while back, when the meme came out, I proposed to take it one step further.
I asked each of the people on the list to discover 3-4 new blogs, meet the person behind the blog, and figure out a way to help them with a project, an idea, or a new connection in 2007. Make something happen, together.
Relationships are a contact sport. Your list and descriptions should make it easier for people to do that. Thank you!
This is awesome, thanks for the list!!!
Hi Chris,
Thanks again for this link to the Z-list and the nice descriptions provided by Z-team mates Sharon, Becky and Z-Gavin!
Kind Alien Regards.
Luc. : )
You guys totally need to add a column in that XLS and DOC that includes the URL and a contact email (if available) -- or even just the URL in the XLS. Otherwise, very quirky list.
Have you checked out PostieCon? Seems like it would be the kind of conference that would really appeal to folks who are into generating revenue from their blogs, getting better readership, more money from traffic and learning techniques and tricks to optimize for monetization.
Chris Abraham:
"YOU GUYS" is not really the right approach. If you think it's so important, why don't you take the time to compile this info. I'm not sure you really read the posting clearly. Do you know what the Z List is about?
Also, Chris Abraham, you have sent me 4 or 5 emails in the last week that border on Spam to promote your Postie conference. Is there any wonder people are concerned to get their email listed on a Z-list.
I suspect the only reason you posted here was to promote your Postie conference. I noticed a very similar comment on another site I regularly read.
Chris Brown
I understand It's a good article the marketing strategy is more useful to people and they get more money through the marketing strategy. If you are interesting visit the site marketing strategy
