Interesting. Javascript won’t work for PR, as Darren said, but it really works to get traffic back to your blog. Lots of it! Also it makes your blog more sticky, blog readers love renovating content. You can also mail the results of your polls to the media, getting you some off-line attention. Why not?

Gentle plug: we run http://www.BlogPolls.com that allows bloggers to place free polls on their blogs. We provide the technology, the bandwidth, everything. Give it a shot. Thanks.

Heck, I still have the Olympic metal count on there! Will it be updated for the next one? I’ll keep it up if you will

Great concept. I don’t do anything with NZ idol. Or American Idol, don’t really like the show. There I confessed it.

Can you go into other ways to promote a blog and to get readers. Thanks. Love the tips you give btw.

yeah Tim – the javascript isn’t going to help with SEO – I think they are working on doing without it like we did with the Olympic one.

Javascript won’t be read by the search engines so I doubt the incoming links would have given you PR and anchor text. But, it is a great idea anyway. :)

Hey – this has possibilities. Somebody should take this idea and run. People love popularity contests and graphs and stats and stuff. Sort of like a blogging hot-or-not on steroids.
