 ATTENTION: PHP GURU's - FREE idea for a blogging community / link building experiment... Any Takers?

Submitted by PatrickCurl on June 21, 2007 - 12:56pm in

First off, I wanna say, I can modify php, but as of right now, I'm NOT a programmer, I wish I were, but I just haven't sat down and taught myself, yet. Perhaps, when I'm earning $6,000 per month blogging, and no longer have to work a day job, I'll have enough free time.

Here's my idea, and you can tell me if it'll work or not, or even if it's a stupid Idea, I've been looking for something like this for awhile, but either it's a stupid idea, which I doubt, being the genius that I am...(notice the sarcasm? lol):

Alrighty, I have a brilliant idea, for a wordpress plugin.

This would be link-builders dream widget.

Basic Idea:

  1. First people would sign their website up from a central database.
  2. The Central website would gather their rankings / metrics from a number of sources. (Alexa, Google, Yahoo Links, Technorati, Delicious, etc), and it would thoroughly spider the website for it's top twenty keywords / phrases.
  3. Each site would be given a ranking based on those criteria, sort of similar to the Blog Juice widget on my sidebar.
  4. Now for the fun part. Each site would have a widget on their sidebar, and each day at a random time, 1 new link will be added to each blog. This would alternate, where you'd be given a link that: matches your keyword at least somewhere on their blog, and it would alternate, where your first link will be a site ranked slightly higher than your blog, and your second would be ranked slightly lower.
  5. The cool thing is that as your rank grows so will the ranks of those below yours and those above yours will continue to help your ranking grow, the plugin / database would always 'balance' itself. Like so:
    1. The max number of links would be 50, and in order to basically funnel each website higher than it began, there would be a ratio of 60 to 40, 70% of links will be lower than yours in ranking, but only moderately lower, and 30% will be slightly higher.
    2. The bonus, though is that every site your link is placed on - 70% of those will have a higher ranking than your site, and will lift your site up.
  6. And of course, this would have some really good statistics, and might even be able to build a social community right around the central database.

Now I offer this idea Free to the blogging community, in the hopes that some young, or not so young programmer might take me up on it, and secondly that I get at least a little credit when they do.

I'm very open to criticism, so please tell me if, and why you think this is a great or bogus idea, and will or won't work or how to modify it to make it even better.
