If I&#39;m going to waste my time in this direction, I want to know if this will all be worth it.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Because this is a new sub-domain on the blogger account, I&#39;ll be curious to see how many links we&#39;ll get over time.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The initial metrics&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We&#39;ll use google as a metric to start off with:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;http://www.google.ca/search?q=howtocreateabuzz.blogspot.com&quot; href=&quot;http://www.google.ca/search?q=howtocreateabuzz.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;http://www.google.ca/search?q=howtocreateabuzz.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Nothing&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;How about &amp;quot;Social Networking Buzz&amp;quot;? &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=Social+Networking+Buzz&quot; href=&quot;http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=Social+Networking+Buzz&quot;&gt;http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=Social+Networking+Buzz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Nothing&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How can I see links to my site?&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=55281&amp;amp;topic=13509&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;resource&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;p&gt;You can perform a Google search using the link: operator to find a sampling of links to any site. For instance, [link:www.google.com] will list web pages that have links pointing to the Google home page. Note there can be no space between the &amp;quot;link:&amp;quot; and the web page URL.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=link:howtocreateabuzz.blogspot.com&quot; href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=link:howtocreateabuzz.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;http://www.google.com/search?q=link:howtocreateabuzz.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Again - nothing&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So we&#39;re starting off with a brand new site, domain and NO links&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This should be fun!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DAY1 - # Links IN: 0     &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://howtocreateabuzz.blogspot.com/feeds/8281764457494333378/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/3506567988161914065/8281764457494333378' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3506567988161914065/posts/default/8281764457494333378'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3506567988161914065/posts/default/8281764457494333378'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://howtocreateabuzz.blogspot.com/2008/05/challenge.html' title='The Challenge'/><author><name>SEO 5150</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14425194857305185369</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
