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:
- First people would sign their website up from a central database.
- 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.
- Each site would be given a ranking based on those criteria, sort of similar to the Blog Juice widget on my sidebar.
- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
