Seth Godin is a master marketer and pretty much wrote the book on how ideas spread online. Here′s some tips from his blog today on how to make your blog popular.

step 1: run some sort of poll that lots of other bloggers link to
step 2: if the poll is about you, link to it: Link: The 2005 Business Blogging Awards - Best Marketing Blog.
step 3: be controversial. Try to get a CNN VP to resign under pressure. Yell when you can speak, scream when you can whisper.
step 4: write stuff worth reading. The thing is, it′s up to you/us, the readers, to decide what ”worth reading” means. If we read, talk about and link to the stuff that′s thin or short-lasting or flamboyant, then that′s what we′re going to get, right?
