The Blog Tag Tree
Posted by Michael D Jensen on December 15th, 2006
Blog Tag, A Game for a Virtual Cocktail Party was started by Jeff Pulver on December 10th, and has spread quickly and massively. Today I noticed it hit the SEO world with GrayWolf, then Lisa Barone and Rebecca and Rand.
[Update] I thought GrayWolf was the top but Avinash Kaushik seemed to start the SEO tree growing with a link out to several in the SEO blogosphere.
I’m into Family History and thought it would be fun to see all this in a “family tree” format. Of course I get way over my head into things like this, but it is fun to see the blogger circles. It’s a work in progress, so if you see a post that has gone up that I haven’t put up yet, leave it in the comments section. Enjoy!

Five Things You Don’t Know About Liana “Li” Evans…
So Ms. Lisa over at Bruce Clay tagged me for this 5 Things Blog Tag Tree Meme. I guess I’ll have to oblige, although I’m not so sure ya’ll care too much about me, and would much rather the stories I dig up.
Anyway…. here’s some things you didn…

Nice to see that my game of “Blog Tag” has taken on a life of it’s own. I was waiting for the 168 hour mark to document the geneology of the links that were generated. Thanks for helping to make my weekend work a lot easier!

Michael: This is fantastic, I am sure it took you a while to follow along all the links. It is amazing how many amazingly famous bloggers are within six degrees of separation (from me or from others). Thanks you for making the effort, it tells such a nice story.

[…] Seems like I have been tagged into the ‘5 Things About Me’ blog game by Dave / Hawaii SEO. I apologize in advance if this list is rather mundane - as far as I know, I haven’t done anything superbly strange, akward, or interesting in my life. If you want to see the ‘grand view’ of how this game has progressed, check out the SoloSEO Blog Tag Tree. […]

For your update file:
I solicited my colleagues at Page Zero to join me in posting five things, so I wasn’t just talking about me, which I always do :). So far I’ve published one for Scott Perry at:
http://www.traffick.com/2007/01/five-things-you-didnt-know-about-us.asp
I’ll be rolling out four more of these this month, including tidbits from Mona Elesseily, Dean Towers, Cory Kleinschmidt, and myself. When I post the last one, I’ll tag five other bloggers.

That tree could probably be seriously useful if you wanted to know who to ‘network’ with in a particular blogging world. All it would take would be for you to hang around those blogs regularly.
I find networking to that degree distasteful, personally. I know that many do it. They’re the same guys who only go to parties to ‘network’ and are only your friend so that they can ‘network’ with your friends, or have you as a part of their network or referral tree. Blogs have a habit of encouraging that kind of thing – it all depends, however, on what you’re into yourself, I guess.
68. portraitkingdom | March 19th, 2008 at 12:27 am
Great post! I noticed that there are cut portions of the blog that look like they’re hiding underneath the border of your blog. Please take a look at the right side.
