Hunting for Production Capable Blogs

Biggest problem in finding blogs for new industries is that we can't always find blogs which have incoming link(s). Voting those blogs still reward you karma and chips after your votes were moderated positively. But of course we want more than that. We need ideas to be produced and collected. So there are several tricks to that.

First, don't be afraid to vote those no-incoming-link blogs. Try to find links, again using Google, with link keyword. For example, let's say you have voted http://foo.blogspot.com/ into industry smurf. Initially that blog doesn't have incoming link. But after searching via Google "link:http://foo.blogspot.com/" we find that http://bar.blogspot.com/ has outgoing link to foo. bar is also unlisted in Blogshares. We have to add bar into Blogspot, wait for several minutes, then reindex bar. Then refresh Blogshares' page of foo. You will see that now it has incoming link from bar but it's value is still 1000. Reindex it. Now its value is not 1000 anymore.

Wait for drop. Collect. Well done!

Second technique to search good blog is by browsing Blogger.com's list of blogs with the same place. If you found a no-incoming-link blog in industry smurf in California, USA, then you can check for other blogs using this URL: http://www.blogger.com/profile-find.g?t=l&loc0=US&loc1=California&loc2=Smurf. Browse those blogs, check if they're already registered into Blogshares, vote as appropriate, reindex, wait for drop, collect, very well done!

Happy hunting!
