Is that blog tag spam in your “Rochesters Big and Tall” pants or are you just happy to see me?
Technorat’s top tags today are very conspicuous. Look at all the references to Rochester’s Big and Tall”, a retailer serving…..big and tall guys. Looks like some form of blog spamming or odd tag SEO going on.
I’m still getting a lot of milage from my test Cicarelli post of last week even though she’s dropped to 12th place.
And will somebody PLEASE blog about the winners of the Yahoo Hack Day?! Wait…here it is at Techcrunch That event was so great…..nobody had time to blog it thoroughly except to link to the very clever Beck Video. Beck and his band – themselves mashup mavens and sometime hackers – gave a killer concert at the Yahoo event that will probably go down as one of the best gatherings of the year.

Blog readers and blog writers redux II.1 The downfall of Cicarelli?
This blog readers vs writers thing remains intriguing. Now, “Jonny” is the top blog search and I’m having trouble figuring out exactly why since the name refers to several pop icons. In fact that may be why it’s up top – it’s a term that overlaps several popular searches for people named Jonny. My own “cicarelli” post is getting some traction but the top referrer for me by far is a reference to my first post about this readers vs writers issue and it’s coming from people over at Technorati searching for “Assparade”.
From an SEO perspective it appears we may be seeing signs that writing about the top term is less likely to get a lot of traffic than writing about highly searched but secondary term that is getting much less press. Still way too early to come to this conclusion though.
The Technorati search list is changing more day to day than I would expect, perhaps an indication of the fleeting nature of human interest and big media focus. The tag list seems more stable and that would make sense if we assume the following about writers vs readers:
Blog writers are a smaller, more focused group
Blog writers tend to stick to same general topics
(?) Blog writers tend to address richer, more stable, deeper subjects and therefore these don’t change at the whim of masses and mass media.

Blog readers and blog writers redux. Cicarelli still rules
Gee, the top blog search is still Cicarelli.
My earlier post with these technorati search terms seems to be getting a some attention for the term “Assparade” rather than the post I thought entitled “Cicarelli“, but I don’t have good stats yet.
I shall say with great pride and elitism that at Technorati this morning I was the top search result for “Assparade”, apparently simply because I put up the technorati list on my blog.
Today’s technorati terms are different but still indicative of the chasm of diversity between blog readers and blog writers.

Although I do understand the diversity to some extent, particularly interesting is that “real” news like “Hugo Chavez” is not getting written up as much as it’s getting searched for. I’m guessing that the blog writer demographic is still very narrowly “tech focused” but I wonder how it is politically? Probably polarized, such that people with “strong” political views are far more likely to blog in that space.
